Capoera, EFY, and BAPTISMS!!

HEY EVERYONE!!
This week was really great. We started out working a lot, but all of the Young men and women in your ward went to EFY in Mexico City for the whole week... one of my converts went too!! Aldair! IT was super cool, but that meant that we didn`t have anyone to help up with lessons with members, cause we almost always take young men with us. So that was cool for them, but not so cool for us.
We also had an awesome experience. Roberto, whom we`ve been teaching for over 3 months finally got baptized!!! he said that he wanted to do it on his birthday, the 7th of August so we said ok! He was super ready, I believe he`s already in like Alma in the book of mormon... it`s awesome. He asked me if I would baptize him and I gladly accepted, it was super awesome.
We also had another Kid named Daniel that got baptized! He is awesome. We met him 2 weeks ago. He is the neighbor of some of my converts and they said that he wanted us to pass by with him one day, so we did and he was super excited. He really changed a lot and is one of the happiest teenagers i`ve ever seen.
Another guy in our ward, Reniel, helped us teach him and they got along super well and he asked if Reniel could baptize him. It was really spiritual and awesome. the only bad part was that the Church ran out of Gas for the Boiler, so the water was cold.... yes here in mexico gas runs out.... you have to buy big tanks of it for your house, for your boiler and stove and stuff and when it runs out, theres a gas truck that drives around all the time with it`s sirens super loud and annoying that sells you a new tank... the most in eficient way in the world? quite posibly. But thats how it is.
Then it started raining.... but RAINING. The Church almost flooded, but it stopped before the whole church became a pool. It was really a fantastic experience though. Pictures will come!! haha
Today we woke up and went to a karate gym, the owner is an investigator of the elders of the other ward. He`s super super cool. We did a ton of workouts and started some Capoera. It`s like a Brazilian Ju dit su or something like that. But it`s cool. I`ve always loved it. then we went back to the Hacienda here in Coahuixtla and saw the rest of it. It was cool, we chased sheep for a while and I caught a lamb and got a cool picture with it... haha but it was a really cool day, i`m just super burned and sore... but that will go away. haha
Well this next wednesday i`m going to Taxco, a city in Guerrero. the other state in my mission, to marry a couple. Here in Morelos, the marriage laws are crazy and it`s hard to marry people, but in Guerrero there pretty much aren`t laws. haha so we`re takin a cool road trip wednesday! HOORAY FOR RICH MEMBERS! hahah but seriously, it`s great when members can help you out with things like 4 hour marriage trips. a big blessing.
If everything goes well we`ll be baptizing that couple this week after their married. We`ve been teaching them my whole time here and They are ready. WE already baptized their 3 kids and now we just need the parents to make the whole family! haha
We also have another awesome guy thats getting baptized, his name is Diego. He`s the boyfriend of a member and they are either planning on getting married soon... or just got married. I forgot to ask them if they`ve done it yet... haha they also are going to go to Taxco to get married, because it`s so easy. But they are super cool and he is a super awesome spiritual guy, I enjoy every time that I talk to him. haha
Well thats about it for this week, I hope that you are all happy and well and that you have a great week!
I love you all A TON!! but even more and i`m glad for your support that you all give me
Love
Elder Summers
