Merry Christmas everyone!!!
This week was a good one! We had
the Christmas activity last Thursday and we had a great turnout!! We easily
doubled the amount of people that usually show up on Sunday and over half of
them were investigators! We got tons of references from the members and so if
we weren´t busy enough now we have tons of new people to go find and teach!
Also yesterday we were walking to an appointment and this girl stops us and
starts talking to us. At first I was nervous because she was our age and the
girls here are....uh....outgoing.....buuuuut turns out her family was taught by
missionaries a few years ago but the missionaries got transfered and they lost
contact with them but they are still interested and we made a return
appointment with them this Thursday!
Also we had the Baptisms this Saturday!!! I
love baptisms even though they are usually really stressful! We still didn´t
have a plug so we used the plastic bag again and just left the water running so
we had plenty of water this time. My companion baptized them and all was going
well until it was time for the Branch President to give his welcome to the
church talk and him nor any of his councilors showed up! So E. Zetina went to
go make a few phone calls while I had to give an impromptu talk in Spanish! I
don´t really remember what I said but I definitely had a lot of help because I
ended up talking for 15 mins. while the ward mission leader came to fill the
place of the president. But they were awesome and both of them were so happy
afterwards! As for Christmas, I got my packages! Thank you! I can’t wait! We get to eat with a
member which is usually against the rules so I´m excited for that! But besides
that we are confined to our houses from 3 in the afternoon Christmas Eve to 3
in the afternoon on Christmas. But we can leave to go call our family and we
finally found a place that we can skype! Hopefully it all works out! Will you
have Dad make me a skype account so I don’t have to waste time on Christmas
doing that? We will be calling around 1:30 in the afternoon DR time so make
sure you figure out the time difference! If all goes well we should be able to
skype! I can´t wait to talk to you guys!!
