First Baptism!

Chaparro Family
Hey Mi Familia -
The baptism was super good! Ezekiel made his decision to be baptized the day he was baptized! He also decided as he was going into the baptismal font who was going to baptize him! I had just baptized his older sister so he chose my comp. We baptized 4 people and the bishop baptized the Mom. My comp got to baptize the little girl Leila too btw. But it was cool-- I have never actually gone into the water yet to baptize! We confirmed each one of them and had the bishop and other members confirm them members in front of the whole ward! I also got to give a 15 minute talk on Joseph Smith and got to talk about my experience of going to the sacred grove which was super cool. The spirit was super strong in that meeting!
Baptism Day! The dad is in the blue obviously. Sorry about the shadow in some of them mom! I baptized the oldest girl and my comp baptized the other two and the bishop on the end baptized the mom! They were all confirmed yesterday in front of the whole ward and we all participated! But we let the members do it to make better friendships with them!

Here are some photos of families from my last area (finally!)

Allergies and Kenny G

So this week was a good one! We got to teach A LOT of lessons but it's starting to get super hot here! One of the days the wind really picked up too so that was nice but then it was replaced with my super bad allergies.  I went to the farmacia and got some stuff that would help. Apparently the drugs this girl gave me were super strong tho cuz I took one right after and seriously was sooo tired. I was like "ah freak--- vamos!" I can do this. Why am I sooo tired in the middle of a lesson??  Then the family we were teaching asked me if I was super tired and  I told them that I took two of these pills I had bought.  They told me that I should only take those at night and that they are SUPER powerful! I don't know why they needed to be that strong but they just were? LOL  Sometimes I'm really confused with how things go here haha but it's whatever!

We sang to a couple families this week and that was fun! I got to sing a verse in english for families can be together forever and they really likied that haha. They think people that can speak english is the coolest thing ever.
When I speak a little bit to my comp in front of people on the bus everybody just stares at me. They have absolutely no idea what I'm saying. Maybe it's the same in Spanish haha. My spanish is coming along but ya it's another language so I know it's going to take more time.

We also taught German and his family about faith and more on prayer. After, they fed us facturas which are almost like danishes? And we listened to Eminem on their phones haha.  It was a lot of fun. They're progressing but I want to push it a little faster.

So the Leon family! They love music! Sister Leon loves Kenny G and played it while we had lunch with them! I felt like it was christmas and I was with dad while putting on some Kenny G haha. It was weird...The dad is literally one of those crazy guitarists that's basically professional and plays super fast! It's like the latino songs dad would play literally haha.
They're all super good at singing I found out cause after lunch they turned on a bunch of disney songs( in spanish obviously) and they started singing. Then they were telling me to come in so I did with my comp haha. It was actually a lot of fun! They had the lyrics up on their computer and everything!

Anyway I can't send pics on my camera because it's too new. Maybe sometime soon or I'll just buy another camera here.  I love you tons mom and I'm doing super well! That's sooo funny about Hailey with the song ahaha. I can totally imagine that. When does Jordan and Tristan leave on their missions??

I love you tons mom and dad!! Sorry if I don't always respond to everything-- my comp is being dumb and wants to go get food but I tell him family is un poco mas importante que comida chavon....whatever..

Love and miss you all! Hope everybody is doing good!
