Well hello!! This week was a fantastic week! we had the Baptism of Jonathan. He is 22 and is super cool, his mom and brother are already members, and usually his whole family goes to church. We`re still working on his other brother and his dad right now and hopefully soon the will get baptized too. But it was just really cool to see how ready and excited he was to get baptized! We did divizions twice this week so my companion and I were practically seperated all week. I did divisions with elder Ortega. Sounds mexican right? doesn`t speak spanish... haha he only has 2 weeks in the field, but he`s super cool. He`s in the other ward here in Coahuixtla. But it was fun. Then we did divisions witht he zone leaders, Elder Gomez came with me. It was fun, But we went to go do the interviews of two Girls that we`re teaching and they both told us that they dind`t want to get baptized this week. IT was kind of lame, but we`re going with them basically every day this week to get them pumped to get baptised.
In the next 3 weeks we have some amazing people getting ready for baptism. This Kid named Apolo is super pumped, I thought he was a member because he is at the church every day playing with the others teenagers in the ward. But he`s not, and he now has him moms permision to listen to us. He is probably the most excited person i`ve ever met to get baptized, if we could go baptize him right now he woould do it. The only problem is that we haven`t yet been able to talk directly to his mom and ask permision to baptize him, cause he`s only 15. So we`ll see how it goes down.
The next week we have Roberto. He`s been coming to church every week for like 3 months now. haha we baptized his 2 kids, Aldair, and Karina. And he wanted to wait for his birthday to get baptized so we said ok! haha i`m very excited for that. Then this week we found another awesome kid named Dani, he`s 16 and is neigbor and friend of my convert David. We taught him the first lesson and challenged him to be baptized saturday and he accepted very well, then he went with them to church sunday and after I asked him what he thought and said that he loved it and is going to get baptized. haha I^m super super excited, so we have him and andother investigator Diego for the next. Diego is the Fianceè of one a member in the ward, he is super exctied for his baptism. We taught him about the word of wisdom last night and talked abou his baptismal date and he said he feels great about it and doesn`t have any problems! so we are very excited about his progression.
And well we hopefully will have all the paper work together this week so we can marry Narcizo and Ana so we can baptize them. The whole family came to church this week. It was super awesome. Well thats about how the works going here in Coahuixtla, The promised land. haha But really things have been fantastic, some days are hard, but the good days make up for those.
