Week 43

Ford, Hansel and Elder Rivero

Hansel and Dad

Dear Mom,

This week, I shall speak a few words.

We had the baptism of Hansel this past Tuesday, a young man whose Dad is working on reactivation. I was able to do the ordinance which was really cool. He´s the second of my converts who I have been able to baptize. I momentarily forgot which side he needed to be on but quickly made the correction.

The week has been good. We had this really cool lesson with the Uncle of one of our investigators. We got there planning on teaching her and ended up teaching the aunt, Uncle and their little daughter who really wants to be baptized. We´ve invited Eliani to be baptized this weekend, for the Noche Blanca (white night) the stake is having. It´s basically a giant baptism of the whole stake. She still feels unsure but committed to praying about the decision.

It's crazy how it's already Christmas. The homes here are lit up with Christmas lights, when there is power (the city was without power yesterday, he didn't e-mail until today, Tuesday), and we're all working on the light up the world project the church is doing. Day two, said call your parents, We decided to postpone that assignment to the 25th.

Love you Mom,

Elder Call
