We had a baptism this week! (picktures to come). Her name is Grisel, and we have been working with her for a few monthes now. It was such an awesome baptism, even though the water was freezing cold (the heater at the church was a little broken). She has done so much and changed so much in order to prepare herself for her baptism. It felt so good to see a baptism, and see the happiness it brings to families. Also, it makes me so happy to see my converts becoming really active in the church. Beatrice (my first convert) comes to every single church meeting, and recieved a calling in the Relief Society! She is nothing but smiles whenever we see her, and it feels so amazing to contrast her attitude and level of happiness that she feels now to when she opened the door for us. (Alma 26 - I sometimes feel like this). And Valeria is coming to everything and always inviting all of her friends and everything. Right now we are (trying) to teach her Mom, and we are teaching her cousin. Her cousin is awesome! She is deaf and Mute and cant read, so it really helps us teach by the spirit (because thats the only way we can communicate with her), but she is awesome, and i never thought that I would be learning a little sign language on my mission too!
This week we had Interviews with President DaSilva, and it went really good. He is such an awesome mission president. he used to be a member of the first quarum of the 70, and he knows how to really lead a mission. I am in the best mission in the world. Also, we are a little scared that this might be our last week together with my first comanion! Next week is changes, and we think that one of us will get changed. He is an awesome missionary and a great trainer.
I did the math, and i have already walked more than the distance of my house in alpine to my house in Oregon and half way back. But its fun, I feel like a real missionary in old times (especially because this country is re-winded 20 years back).
I love the mission, and thanks for all your prayres!
