This week was one I will never forget....
On Tuesday we had a relief society activity for the birthday of Relief Society. There was so much that went into this activity and it turned out amazing. It was a "Mad-Hatters" party. We all wore hats and had a dinner! Then we also tied 2 quilts for the service project. As we were ting them they then surprised us and told us that the quilts were going to my companion and I. AHHHHH!!! So nice! Pictures to come... they are so cute!
We visited with Alysha again this week! She came to the Relief Society activity last Tuesday too. She told us that she has been going online and looking up everyone's favorite Book of Mormon verses and then reading those and highlighting the ones she liked. She came to all 3 hours of church as well! She is so ready!!
Saturday was simply amazing!!! x10000. DIANA, CARMEN, and OSCAR VENTURA were all BAPTIZED Saturday! There were obviously some crazy events that took place before the baptism but, everything worked out... (The Lord always will perform miracles!) Sister Peterson was able to come up for the baptism as well! So fun to see her again, and it was so good for Diana!
After the baptism we all had dinner and then we had noche de deportes! Sister Peterson stayed for that too! It was SO fun!
Sunday, right before Sacrament Meeting Presidente Hernandez came up to me and told me that I would not be speaking anymore because we would be having the Ventura Family getting confirmed and we would run out of time... oh drats (drats that I wouldn't be speaking, not that they were getting confirmed) :) It was a really good thing though because,we had to leave part-way through anyways to start setting-up for the BAPTISM of Maria Fernanada! She is 11 and has been coming to church for a while. She was baptized in Texas when she was 8 but never received the Holy Ghost. (This happened to her dad too, so the Elders baptized her dad like 2 months ago) Therefore, we re-baptized her and she received the Holy Ghost yesterday! YAYYYYY!!!
We also went on a walk with Diana yesterday to talk about her baptism and have a lesson with her, when we passed this guy that just randomly asked us, "Do you speak Spanish??" He was looking at my companion. She said "No," but pointed to Diana and I. We ended up talking to him for about an hour about the church and he is so ready! He has been searching for what church is true, met with Jehovah Witnesses yesterday, and the day before that a different church, and the day before that... a different one... (NO JOKE) We gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he will read it! He is going out of town for 2 weeks to Texas for work, but I'm super excited for when he returns!
Transfers is this week and my companion and I are both STAYING!!! Half my district is leaving...;( but I get to stay here for at least another 6 weeks!!
Hope ya'll have a fantastic week,
Love you all, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CURTIS, KYLE and UNCLE CURT tomorrow!!
