That's right this week the baptism we had planned for last Friday actually went through and it went pretty much smooth. Nothing went wrong and everyone showed up the usual 30 minutes later than it was going to start so Elder Knudson and I go the chance to clean the front of the church which had a bunch of garbage and weeds. The hermanas name is Ginevra and is probably better than some members in the eard and for sure a better member than I was at 14 years old. We have another hermana that wants to be baptized bit the thing is with her and her family we haven't been able to meet with them so we will probably have to push back the date even later in April. So hopefully that will still happen.
This week we were also able to do some service for a sister in the ward. I think she wanted to replace her sheet metal roof so we tore it all down and were going to help her with another member in the ward to rebuild everything we tore down. But we had a lesson to get to so we had to leave early so I'm not sure if they actually built the part of her roof back or if it's still a giant hole over her laundry area. It's kind of bizarre to see how they work with concrete here and all the things they do without any safety gear. For example we will see a lot of people welding without a welding helmet on and just holding up a piece of darkened glass to protect their eyes. There also not wearing a shirt with shorts and flip flops with all the sparks flying around. Pretty funny.
Of course we had General Conference too, which we got to sit in the AC and watch in English. We invited a lot of our friends to go to the stake center or even watch it with a member and all of them either were busy or out of town so we had the chance to just sit in the secretary office, get some snacks and watch Conference. There were a lot of good talks that had to have answered a lot of questions that people would have all throughout the world. Just goes to show that our Heavenly Father cares about each one of his children and has answers to every single one of their prayers.
This week we also found some new people and out of those new people we found a guy who's on house arrest and the police officer that makes sure he stays there. We gave them a Book of Mormón and so we'll see if they read. If so that will be 2 people we are teaching that are on house arrest. Haha.
That's all for this week hope everyone has had a good week!
