Good Week!

So this week was a really fast week. We went over to Omar and Marina´s house everyday to make sure everything was good with them for their baptism this Saturday. In our free time we were contacting. We found a couple of people who were okay for the first visit but for others they were not really there. On Friday we got to meet our new mission president and talk to him. So far he is a great mission president and probably will be one of my favorites!  Saturday we had to be at the church at five in the morning to start filling the baptismal font so it would be ready for our ten o clock baptism. There has been a bunch of girls from the states who have been down here for humanitarian service and they did two special musical numbers at the baptism and it was really cool so we had a big turn out. Sunday we had a few people in church and it was really funny and awesome too. Omar’s 13 year old daughter thought that everything was amazing and she loves the church and wants to serve a mission and asked us how she could. We explained that is was not that hard you just need to be a member and talk to the bishop and he can help you out. She thanked us and started talking to the bishop and told him she wanted to serve. He explained a little more and then she came and told us she wanted to be baptized, so she is going to get baptized the 20th of July. The best part is her dad now has the priesthood and can baptize her. Today we went over to Elder Chacon's house and had a barbecue. It was pretty fun and we were all very full.

I love every second of being out here. Sometimes you think of home and how much you miss people, but it is part of being far from home. I love it out here and I love the work and I would never change these experiences for anything.
