Another Baptism

May 27, 2019

Hola familia. 

This week was really good. We stayed pretty busy all week.  Had some good lessons and of course the baptism. 

Monday I cant really remember what happened. 

Tueday was Elder Powell's birthday. So we had district council and then went out for lunch with the district to celebrate. We tried seeing some people in the afternoon, and in the night we got invited to a party where non members would be and all that cool jazz. So that was fun especially for Elder Powell's birthday. 

Wednesday we had a lesson with trish and made sure everything was good for the baptism. Everything was. Then we taught English class and people were actually there last time. So that was nice. 

Thursday we had a lesson with carla and we finally got her reading the book of mormon. So that was nice and hopefully she will start to progress. Then we had two lessons cancel on us. 

Friday we had apartment inspections and the baptismal interview, which she passed with flying colors. Then we had a birthday dinner with the zone leaders. Then we tried seeing a bunch of people and struck out over and over again.

Saturday was the day of the baptism and it went great. It was a very spirit filled baptism, and she was elated that she had finally done it. It was very cool to see. Directly after the baptism we had the funeral for the cousin of the Densmores, Jamal. It was very hot. It's been 95 and higher this past week, so an hour directly in the sun was not all that fun. But it was a really good funeral, apparently there was a lot of behind the scenes drama, but we didnt see any of it so that was nice. The rest of Saturday we tried seeing people until our lesson with Christopher, which was not as good as we hoped, but it turns out his friend Jay has a lot more potential than we thought, way more than Christopher and hannah. So we are excited to see how that turns out.

Sunday was church and lesson with Gail. That was all. But trish did get confirmed and was really happy.  

Today we played soccer with some members in the ward and then we'll be playing games with the other Elders. We were invited to a party tonight that we will be going to.
