Baptism!!!! what a week

Well can i just tell you all that i`ve had a week!
Some great things happened. and at the same time we had some really sad, and lame things happen.
So sunday morning we had the baptism of Griselda. she`s an aweosme lady who definately is going to do well in the church, her mom and kids are all active members in Texas, but she got deported and we baptized her here. She has a pretty sweet testimony and we are hoping that the ward with accept her in well and work with her. i`ll send photos next week. We also had a couple come to church that we`v e been working with for like amonth. The wife came like 3 weeks ago. But the husband, who just finished reading 2nd nefi! came and seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. So they are right on track for baptism in this month of March! woot!
Sadly the family that we`re working with Veronica, Raul, Tamara, and Michelle, fell. We had their interviews this week of all except raul, and they are were super ready and excited, but sadly satan always has to put his little hand in the middle of what we do, and turned the dad against us. He probably heard soemthing about the church and didn`t want it, but he won`t talk to us, and as of saturday, which was when they were oging to get baptized, has prohibited them from talking to us. So it was sad, they are so ready and want to so bad. But the Hard hearted, and proud always seem to put the rest down. But we still have faith taht we can do it. We`re going to try to talk to him and get all of his doubts and everything so he gives permission to his family to at least assist or listen again. So please include them in your prayers.
Crazy story. last sunday night our church got robbed, they took an entire air conditionight unit, and cut the tubes of all the other 5. so sadly this sunday we had to sit through all three hours without air, and without window, cause our church doesn`t have any. it was hot. They also stole some keys to a shed that we needed to open to drain the baptismal font and to clean it. But we couldn`t get in, so we had to drain it with buckets. Does anyone know how long that takes? LONG!! We only drained less then half in like 4 hours they said we`ll just clean in and refill it and put in bleach, and it turned out nice and pretty for the baptism. We sang a song with Guitar, my companion is teaching me how to play a little. So yes, after lots of trails from the adversary, we were able to have a good baptismal service. haha
Well thats about it for this week. Love you all and hope your having a fantastic time at home or whereever you may be.
Love
Elder Summers
