There were 6 people but it was chill...they just got crappy five dollar phones
2. Is the metro a subway system?
Yeah its a subway station. Its super packed sometimes. We don't use it often but we do use it
3. Any Baptisms this past week?
Yeah we had one. His name is Ramses. He is super cool and had a long road to get to where he is but he made it and was baptized!!!
4. Do they have Ward Activities that you get to participate in to get investigators to come?
Not really... its just soccer for the young men so we don't have a ton for investigators but the class in English
The area we are in is safe but we were in the Hermanas area haha. Its like an hour to do our laundry and then we come back and its dry. Its pretty easy actually. The pee thing...yeah I don't know what the kid was thinking. Honestly every missionary in the area does not give talks but me...I don't know why but it was good. I will get the package this week. It is very very strange to have a birthday. Thats awesome about Charlie... how is he? I haven't seen him forever. I didn't know Taylor was going to play for USC.
This week was a good week, so first we played our soccer game against adults and almost won haha. The thing I got over them is I'm willing to go all out... they aren't haha. After we had a junta de districto (District Meeting) on Tuesday which was super fun as well. After we found a bunch of people to teach but they told us that they didn't want much. Wednesday we set a date for baptism with Patricia. She is super awesome and she told us she wants to get baptized on my birthday!!!! She told us her testimony about how she felt an impression to go to church and so she did and then the first week I was here she told us that she didn't feel ready for baptism and that I helped her get to this point... to know the importance of baptism. Since I'm District Leader I was able to do the entrevista (Interview) for Ramses which was super spiritual and he got to the point where we could baptize him. It was super cool and I have a connection with him. Its crazy because we have only know each other for a little while but I gave him a tie and shirt for his baptism and I got to baptize him as well. He is super awesome. Thursday and Friday were duds... we knocked on tons of doors and talked with a lot but didn't find anybody. Saturday we had our English class and also we had a great lesson with a family that we are teaching...the fam. Sanchez. The wife is a member but he isn't... so we are trying to work with him. After we talked with a missionary that served in our mission who returned and lives here in the area that he served in and he told us that it is a hard area... it is true, but I read this card I have that says that God has called us in the areas we are in and what we are doing here is for a reason and that he won't let us fail and we will learn things about ourselves that we never knew and it was good and it made us feel better about the area we are in. Sunday was the baptism and we had 148 people to church. The Zone Leader was amazed because he has never seen it that big before.... so it was a good feeling for us. We then went with our mom Maria Gonzalez and she shared her experience when her child died and how she wanted to touch her baby. She had a dream about her child...that she could walk and talk and had a book and was holding hands with Jesus and the thing is that she wasn't a member and didn't know anything about the church and the next day the missionaries knocked on her door and showed her the book and she knew that book was true and this is the Word of God... it was super awesome!!!! So that was my week. I hope you have a good week too.... love you!!!!!!!!
