Well I will just start out this email by telling you about Italo´s baptismal interview. So our district leader did the interview and he is awesome - he was just an AP. Anyway, after about an hour or so, he calls me over and is whispering to me, hey we put a goal for 11 de January and my heart dropped a little bit but I was like ya, ok esta bien. Then he tells me to congratulate him anyways and I was like oh, ya. So I walk in and I am like ITALOOO and hug him and he is like 11 de January and I was like ya, it is going to come fast. It will come really fast. Then we are talking a little bit more and Elder Castro, our district leader, comes up to me and with the baptismal umm record? Registro bautismal and he says you just need to put your name here and the date because you are going to baptize him this Saturday! So I was like whatttt??? And I go and hug Italo and then I almost beat up our district leader because that was a mean joke. Ok, I didn't really almost beat him up but ya. It was all a joke, he passed and it was all good!!!
So Saturday came and we are at the church, my companion and I to fill up the font and clean. There was a fiesta the night before in the church and they didn't clean so that was rough. And I had to plan the program and it was stressful and everything. And the font takes forever to fill up, like 4 hours and still, freezing cold water. But hey, it all worked out and everything. But Italo shows up and I asked where his mom was and he told me in the house and I was like is she going to come and he said no. And so I just started freaking out because his mom is so nice and I thought this would just break her heart. And she can't come by herself because she is in the wheelchair. Anyways, I see a mototaxi pull up in front of the church and it was her with her other son and she came and it all worked out and he got baptized and confirmed yesterday and it was just awesome!
We also have a baptism scheduled for this Saturday so if that all goes well, then this Saturday we will have one too!! So we are hoping for that.
We get to go to the temple again this week on Wednesday! I love going to the temple here. This week, also I got to go to a wedding with my companion because his old investigators were getting married and so we went to that. They are going to be baptized in a couple weeks and then hopefully they will work for a temple sealing. I am grateful for the temple and the priesthood so that we can live with our families forever.
Another fun thing this week, we had intercambios and I was with Elder Irving. He has 2 weeks in Perú so he is brand new and is from Alpine. So we got to go around for a day together. That was fun because he doesn't speak Spanish but he isn't scared to talk to anybody. So it was fun. I can pretty much say everything I want to in Spanish now so it was not hard or scary, just fun.
That is about it for this week. Oh, I feel bad but we were in a little CHIFA restauraunt with all the missionaries for lunch one day and I looked up and saw that LeBron went off and Blake Griffin went off. I felt bad afterwards and had to look away from the screen but ya, oh well hahaha GO HEAT!
I love you all family!!! Be safe have fun and work hard in everything. Remember to say your prayers and read your scriptures.
