Juanito got baptized! Ahh what a great week. Yesterday was Juanito’s baptism! Everything worked out perfectly. During the week, we visited him and gave him a box of some white shirts, pants, a pair of shoes, and 2 of our ties. He showed up to his baptism looking fresh . And on Sunday, one of the young men in our ward named Brandon (I’ve only seen him come to church like 3 times, but he’s dope) attended and he got a long pretty well with Juanito. That was pretty great to have him that day because, he got to speak at his baptism and welcome him into the young men’s quorum (group of kiddos ages 12-17).
Also…SUPER SUPER, SUPER great news. You guys probably all know Larissa and Arely by now, if not you’ve probably seen a picture of them in my weekly (a pics attached as well). Well Larissa the daughter is one of our recent converts (recently baptized), and her mom Arely is still hearing our messages. She’s attended church, events, and knows all the missionaries in my district but still hasnt accepted a baptismal invitation…this week when we visited her we told her that Monday (today) we have transfers, and she was like, “aaaww no, don’t tell me that. I was just about to tell you guys that next I’m ready.” Then continued to say, “I’ll get baptized if both of you guys stay next transfer”….guess God wants her to get baptized cause we’re both staying another transfer ! We told her today and she was very happy.
Also yesterday night we ate at our bishops house for that last hoorah for the Elders that are leaving the district. Super good food in the moment, bad in the night .
Happy Valentine’s Day!
