So, I realize that it has only been a couple few days since I posted last so this weeks is going to be fairly short. But, I made up for it in pictures :)
Wednesday was a pretty awesome day. It was a normal P-day so it was relaxing PLUS we had the baptism of Melissa Mendoza that night. It was pretty cool and special. We have completed the family and cannot wait to see her take off. Actually, from that baptism we found out that her cousin now wants to meet with us and be baptized as well so when we go to visit them this week we need to get her information and contact her. Who knows, we might have another baptism really soon! :)
Thursday was an interesting day. Weekly Planning for most of it and then some appointments with Hector and this little girl named Maria. Her parents are kind of less active (actually, I guess "Returning Members" is the correct term now). Anyway, we went to teach her lesson one, which we did, but also set another baptismal date for the 26th of this month! If all goes well, December will be a 3 baptism month for us! :) So, Thursday was pretty exciting. At 9:00 that evening, Elder Bingham and I met the Zone leaders and started a split that lasted all of Friday.
Elder Beames, Elder Bingham's step-trainer, was my companion for Friday. We worked HARD! We really didn't have any appointments to go to during the day so we ended up tracting for 4 hours, dinner, a couple of appointments with Hector and Manual ( a ninito that we have been teaching; also has a baptism date for the 26th) then did our switch back.
Saturday was filled with tracting. Elder Bingham and I tracted for 5 Hours...4 of which were straight. We were cold and TIRED after that! We didn't find a ton of people but we did find a few that we are going to check up on this week. That night we had an appointment with Natanael and Abigail, passed out some flyers for the Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple, then came in for dinner.
Yesterday was a big disappointment. Miguel and his family didn't show up...a big blow to us. They had expressed some concerns from last weeks meetings and we feel that that played a significant part of their non-attendance this week. But, we have a member present appointment scheduled for today so we are hoping to resolve the issue.
Well All, that's all for this week. This coming week is filled with all sorts of excitement so next weeks will be a tad longer :) Know that you all are loved and are in my prayers. Also, travel safe during your planned vacations and my friends who are reading this at BYU, MS&T, etc. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINALS. YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS! :) Alright, love you all!
"How great shall be your joy!": The baptism of Melissa Mendoza. It was actually performed by Marco Daugherty, a 19 year old Elder preparing to put in his mission papers. It was a pretty cool experience! :)
"Mexican Hat Dance": We have about 5 or 6 sombreros lying around the shack. I had to make a posed picture with one of these guys. Viva La Shack! :)
