Denner's Birthday
Stephanie's Baptism
Nelson's Baptism
Dear Family!
We had a pretty cool week this past week. That young women we are teaching went to that efy thing, here it is called fsy. And i guess it was like the same exact thing, so you can imagine how pumped up the teens are here and how excited she was when she got back! She said she was like the most popular one there because she wasnt a member and everyone told her she was the prettiest, so she loved it...ha. So a ton of people came to the baptism! the directors of the fsy announced it on facebook and they came to the baptism and spoke. a boy she met in the fsy baptised her. but she didnt make it in time to church so she didnt get confirmed....aghh! but she will get confirmed soon. And the state president came to the baptism and the two bishops of thew wards, because she is frquenting the other ward with a friend but lives in our area. We also had the baptism of Nelson the same day, he is an older guy and the dad of a less active, we started teaching him thinking he hadnt been to church, so we marked a date for after two weeks (they need two sunday to be baptized) but we heard that he frequented the church a ton of times before when it was a branch!!! we were soooo stoked!!!! so wednesday we changed the date to this saturday and baptized him! haha. he was so ready! i love him! it was an honor to batpize him... he was so excited he got to the baptism like 1.5 hours early! He has such a strong testimony, he grew so fast in the gospel, everyone did a good job of making him feel included in the baptism
Wel we heard about transfers.....i will STAY! mais uma! with my same comp. i had a feeling when i got here that i would stay for a while. We heard a rumor that it might be just us two in this area but we dont know yet, the other two in the house were transferred. they are two americans and one arrived with me and we always like vent to eachother because we are experiencing like the same things, haha so i will miss that dude. nohomo.
