Howdy pals! This week was awesome! First off, my comp and I get along really well and that has helped a lot. We like to talk in our hick accent and it is always a good time. Most importantly, we have 6 baptismal dates set up!
So let's start with the baptismal dates:
1. Maria Esther and her son Alexis. We were looking for another person and we passed their house and I told Hunter we should go ask them for directions. We ended up contacting them on Tuesday and set the date on Wednesday. She is such a nice lady and her son is super cool too. Only problem is he has school in Villahermosa so it is tough to find him. During the lesson we asked if they had heard about our church and she said, "I know you guys worship Will Smith or something like that." I thought that was funny.
2. Omar and Arturo. I talked about them last week if you don't recognize the names. We taught the Plan of Salvation and Arturo was freaking pumped when we told him the Celestial Kingdom is like the sun haha. It was tough to find Omar but we finally did on Friday. He told us how he talked to his parents and said he wants to be a member, but they didn't like that because they are super catholic. All we have to do is talk to his parents and he can be baptized. At least that is what I am hoping and praying for. Please keep them in your prayers, especially his parents. I am hoping they will have an open mind and their hearts will be softened when they hear our message.
3. Claudia and Luis. This is a funny one. We found Luis in the park with his buddies and contacted them. We have set up dates to go visit all of their families so we can gain that trust. We were joking around acting like we spoke Chinese and the kids really thought that we did so now they are always saying "how do you say _ in Chinese?" and it is hilarious. Claudia is the mom of Luis and she loves us... a lot. I set the baptism dates with them and talked about goals and I later asked what her goal is. She said, "to have my daughter marry Elder Hunter." Not sure that one is going to happen, but it’s good to have goals I guess.
We also found 14 new people to teach so this was a good week. I think we were so successful because of my nice beard I had. On Wednesday I forgot to shave and we set 2 baptismal dates and found 6 people so Hunter told me I wasn't aloud to shave. Fear the beard! (Know that I am kidding dad. If you know me then you know that I can’t even really grow a beard)
I titled the email "cutest couple" because we have been told how “cute” we are. Hunter made the joke saying, "we need to use our looks to get in the door.” I also named it that because we get along so well. We are literally the same person even though he hates country music.
This week was awesome and I am so pumped to keep working here! Love you all!
