Baptisms

Hey,

Well, a great week.  Things went really well.  We had 3 baptisms!!!!!!!!!!  Well, 4, but one was 8 so it was a ward baptism.  Who cares, it was a super happy weekend!  We also had brownies, which were super good.  

The baptism was great.  It was a little intense because our District Leader is pretty new so he hasn't done too many baptismal interviews.  Well... he didn't pass one of our investigators so he said they wouldn't be able to be baptized this weekend.  But, after calling the Zone Leaders, he found out that there was no problem and he went back and told the family that he actually did pass.  Meanwhile, I was in the other area of San Jose and didn't know any of this was happening.  I guess Elder Adams was super stressed out thinking the baptism wasn't going to happen.  Oh well, everything worked out and they were all baptized.  

Marcelo, Mileimi, and Evelyn were baptized, completing their family of members.  Also, Alex was baptized.  They are all awesome and are going to be great members.  

I'm running out of time, so I am going to have to make this short.  It's always hard to load pictures and write an email at the same time.  Things are going great in the work here in San Andres.  We are working hard with Toni and Bertha.  They have completely given up drinking coffee and are ready to be baptized as well this weekend the 21st.  It was quite a miracle that they gave up coffee.  They were drinking 6 yo 10 cups of coffee every single day and just gave it up because of a lot of prayer on their part and fasting on ours.  It was so fast!  There's also this thing called Morcaf that a lot of members drink here that is a coffee made of burnt cereals that is approved by President Watts to drink, but we didn't even have to give them that.  They just dropped it.  So, they'll be baptized this week too.  

We are also working with a younger lady Thania that just got married to a returned missionary in our ward.  She knows that everything in the church is true and that she needs to be baptized, but she really just is scared to put a date.  I know she'll have a date for baptism this week.  We'll see.  Anyways, I got to go.  Have a great week everybody.  Keep the letters coming.  They're nice to get. =)  Sorry for the super short email.  Love you.
