SO this week we sucessfully Baptized Edwardo, Eliset And Anthony(photos coming) Tuesday we had a mission conferecnce with President Hansen, and It was Basically him saying good bye to us. Its way to crazy to think of getting a new mission president. The 1st is when presidet Walter Comes in, thats gonna be intense. then the following week he is going to be going around doing zone conferences and getting to know everbody, so its going to be really exiting to go through all of these changes, its going to be really interesting to see all of the changes that he makes in the mission. SO tuesday we didnt tach at all because we got up at 3 to get to the bus station at 5 to get to veracruz at 7 to start the mission conference at 9. then we didnt get back to cuidad aleman untill 8. THen wednsday was fun, we found some new investigators for the 9th and also waiting for a family home eavning Elder FLores cut his hadn open so we had to rush of to a Dr and get it looked at. He ended up needing 8 stiches. his right ring finger got a nice slice down the side fo it. Buts he is ok and its not as terrible as it sounds.
So that took of the last part of wednesday, then thursday we didnt have any money left because it cost so much to get elder flores fized so we had to talk to santu cruz fo take out money (Form my personal account) and that was fun, and most of thursday elder flores felt pretty sick because of the medication he was taking for his hand to keep infection and inflamationa nd pain away. and all of that with the Hot sun was no good. fiday passed a s a normal day then Saturday we had the Baptism service at 6. ELder Flores recent convert baptized his grandson Antony and i baptiezed Edwardo and Liset. It was a really great service, Elder FLores and I sang Abide with me tis even tide as a special number and everybody had a really great uplifting Experience. Friday we found a new family that we are working with Ruben Dereda and thier 2 kids. We are really hoping alot for them, they have talked to the misisonaried bofore and they really like how they feel at church and how they felt when we watched the restoration dvd with them. IT seems like we just need to motivate Ruben to get baptized and his whole family with gladly follow him. SO we are reallly praying that things can all workout well form him and his family.
Yesterday we were blessed with 7 investigatores in church, WOW its was great, and i taught the GOspel doctines class, i just taught the first leesson in the book, everyone seemed to enjoy it. And yesterday we had a sweet followup lesosn with edwardo, he is really happy that he chose to get baptized, apparently saturday morning he had decided not to get baptized, but he said some prayers and talked to another investigator that we have in that pueblo and it all worked out and now he is really happy he did it.
LAst night we talked about perservering to the end and we got him exited about getting the priesthood and maybe a calling, and i left him 2 chapters in the Gospel principles book to read about the priesthood so he can be super prepared. THe Lord is showering us with love. and the work is going forward in the Lords way. I lvoe you all and im so gratefull for your support and love, i certainly couldnt do it without any of you!
