Week 34 - Ya No Me Quedan

Que tranza amigos,

Awesome week this week!  We were able to get a lot of work done and had a lot of success!  First of all, you all should know that we played a ton of volleyball this morning and my team won the 7 game series.  It got intense.  We showed out big in game 7.  Just so you know that we made California proud today with our volleyball skills.

This week was sweet because we had the baptism of Abigail!  She's really cool.  She was the only member of her family that hadn't been baptized.  For the longest time she didn't want to get baptized but she finally said yes once we got here.  We taught her really quickly without any problems (she already knew pretty much everything).  Her grandpa was going to baptize her but he got sick last minute and since she didn't want to wait another week she asked me to baptize her!  It was a great day.

Also this week I was able to see how God blesses us when we do our part, even if he doesn't bless us in the way we wanted him too.  All this week we were looking for new people to teach or other people that we hadn't seen in a while.  We used the area binder a lot.  Anyways all week we were outside searching for those houses and literally nobody was home.  Even the members that are always home weren't home to receive us.  We arrived home tired and sad everyday haha.  But this weekend we saw the blessings.  First, we had the baptism of Abigail.  Then, we found an old investigator that already has all of the lessons, taught a full lesson, and put a baptismal date with her.  Then, when we went to take one of our investigators to church (he's a young boy who's 11 years old), his grandma said, "Go ahead and throw him in the water already!"  THEN, the Visitors Center from the temple called and said they have a really good reference for us that wants to learn more.  She travels a lot for her job but right now she's sick and is in bed all day so she can receive us!  Just a few of the blessings we saw this weekend, even though they weren't the ones we were looking for.

Have a great week everyone!  Love you guys!  Talk to you soon!
