bautismo

This last week went by really fast! I think it was due to the fact that on Saturday we had a baptism! We had their interviews plus last minute planning for the actual service. It all went perfectly!! It started late but they were so happy and yesterday they got confirmed so they are all officially members of the Church. I also made cookies and brownies for after the baptism and some Elders made a licuado from milk and cookies that was really tasty. It was a great way to start our Saturday!

Happy baptism!

The rest of the week we spent contacting and finding new investigators. Some of our contacts have been really great. We had an appointment with one contact that I had high hopes for—I had even put a little star next to her name because I thought she was golden. When we stopped by, no one answered and we were really bummed. We went to find another family and about ten minutes later we got a phone call from her! She apologized and asked if we could go by and teach her. Well, of course we did! That is the first time a contact has called us up for missing an appointment. 

     During the week we went with a less-active member who is very busy taking care of her father. She is older and we always try to help her out with something but she always says no. This time I was really persistent and even offered to teach English to her family members. She looked at me and asked me how I was going to teach it. I was so confused and questioned her. She repeated the question and I realized that she thought I didn't speak English! I told her I knew English, that we speak it at home and that I only learned Spanish in the mission. She was kind of confused and just looked at me with skepticism. I'm still not sure she believes I know English. Maybe that means my Spanish is better than I thought!

     I hope you all have a great week and that you are enjoying the warmer weather. It is really hot here—I'm already looking forward to the rainy season in the end of May. Today we got permission to go to Center and see some sights since my companion has never been. We met up with my friend, Hermana Gurley, who is training my companion's MTC companion. It was perfect!

Seeing the sights in downtown Mexico City.

MTC friends reunited.

Love you all!
