bautismos

 

 

Well this week we were blessed with three baptisms!! i baptised maria fernada (picture DSC01198) and my companion the other two!! it really was a blessing for working hard for such a long time and not seeing baptisms!! they are a really good family and they  have a good testimony!! the baptism was great even though i had the privelge of doing it 4 times well i just kept saying part in english and so i had to start over and one time here knee came out of the water!! all stuff to remember ofr  ever ha!! well other than that the week was pretty tough! !we didnt have a lot of lessons to teach and so we walked a ton but that is okay it happens a lot here!!  we are working hard and that is the most iportant thing that we can do!! 

The baptismal service went relly well! a lot of people went i would say like thirty people or so and it went really smooth and we didnt have any problems. the only probles was the clothes for the mom was absolutly giant on her ha but it is okay!!!

I thought alot this last week about my first year in my mission. and sadly it has gone by really fast! ! i have learned a whole ton of things about the gospel and a little bit of spanish!! and the thing that really surprised me the most is that i was able to see the hand of the lord in my misison like crazy!!

i have not really had a ton of success if you look at numbers that i have had or baprisms or things like that but i sure have had success in about everything else that i have done! i have luckily been able to get along well with all of my companions and been happy pretty much the whole time excpet the first day when the dog bite me but other than that it has all been joy!! the mission has treated me well and i hope that the second year can be twice as good as the first year!!!!

Sorry that i dont have a lot to write but i dont really remember anything about the week other than saturday!! 

Also on wednsday we had like a activity that we call family home evening for the whole ward that went really welll like 70 people went to it pretty muchly the whole ward. we taught a sweet lesson or shared a message aobut the holy ghost that went really well the only bad part is that pretty mucly no one wanted to participate and so we had to like beg people to read or to share somthing at first but towards the end of the lesson it was better but the lesson went really well and we had a good time!! well i got to go i love you all and hope that you all have a good week!!
