Well . . . another week here in the beautiful playa!!
Beginning this week we had planned to have 3 baptisms. We had these two kids of a recent convert who wanted to be baptized and another joven que se llama Jose Luis. Honestly the week was going really well and then suddenly the dad of the two kids, Kevin, asked us when he could be baptized. He has had a problem with alcohol for some time now and never really has been able to drop it. He has always asked us how he could change his life around but could never really get through to his baptism.
Anyways we hadn't seem him for a little awhile and all of a sudden he was there on Tuesday night and we asked the kids - Kefren and Kenneth, about their baptism. Kevin at the end of the lesson asked when he could be baptized too! We had originally told him that it would be the 9th but as soon we got home we felt like he could be baptized on the 2nd. So Kevin with his kids ended up being baptized this Sunday, completing the family!!!
Jose Luis the other baptism that we had planned, was doing great. We had taught him Wednesday night and went through the baptismal interview questions and then Thursday was supposed to be his interview but he just dissapeared. His mom told us that he went to work and 4 days later he still doesnt show up at his house.
Anyways this week was a very solid week, we were able to find this really cool family, the mom was baptized a really long time ago and no one else in the family are members. I hope they can come to church and then we could help the kids be baptized!
Pretty crazy that I am starting the last transfer of my mission. I know these last 6 weeks are going to fly.
Miss you guys all
