so first things first im feeling 100% again!
the week was really good!
on tuesday we had our district meeting and prepared good old j a for baptism.
on Wednesday i went i on splits with elder toner in his area again. the second time around was a lot better thankfully.his area is pretty rough because everyone one is rich and doesn't want god, elder toners words not mine haha. we were pretty nervous because of our experience last time but we started off with a random leccion in the park. the guy was dressed in all white and wanted us to teach him right there. he told us he spoke a little english but it was easier to teach in spanish for me and when we sat down he told us he was pretty nervous so i said " your nervous? im nervous! i dont speak spanish!" which got him to laugh. it was a really good lesson and it lasted for a good hour, he had a lot of good questions and was really receptive to every thing. later we had a kid about my age chase us down. he said i have a question for you guys " why is there always a latino and a gringo together? is it a rule or something?" it made us laugh pretty hard and we explained its not a rule its just the gringos dont have as much Spanish so a lot of times we have a latino with us. then we contacted him and he wanted us to come the next day!
that night we had Chorreadas!!!
on thursday we had the baptism because the stake was going to the temple. we had a lot of stuff to do to prepare J A for the baptism. for his leg we had to tape two garbage bags and then suran rap it. and we had to have two guys in the font. J sat in a chair while one baptised him and the other held his legs down. it was a very interesting baptism. it took jesus like 10 minutes to get in the font and like 20 to get out. he wouldnt let anyone help him either haha. it was pretty stressful but after he was baptised it finally hit me, J A got baptised! im so happy for him! hes a true testiment that the spirit is a guide we all depend on. he hasn't seen anything, he has simply been following the spirit and has had a lot of faith.
on friday not a lot happened, when we were eating the daughter of the sister we were eating with asked me why i always smell like the beach haha, i told her because i always have sunscreen on haha.
on saturday we had our zone meeting and during the meeting they told us on monday we get to watch "Meet the Mormons"!!!!!!! because its coming out in theaters here so they wanted to prepare us for any questions people might have.
on sunday we had church. in the morning when we went to go pick up J A, his mom wanted to come! and in sacrement we gave J A the holy ghost. after it was just a normal sunday.
today i got up nice and early to wash my clothes and then we went and watched "Meet the Mormons" in spansh haha. i understood most of it. i loved the whole thing but when they showed the navy football team i have to admit i was a little to excited haha. but the whole thing was really good and i hope a lot of people go see it so they stop confusing us with the jehovah witnesses!
the week was pretty good and tomorrow i get to go to culiacan for immigration . not to excited for that but everyones gotta go.
