I'm getting good at frying eggs :)

Hey so this week was a busy one! We had the baptism of Felipe and Matías Romero. It was a very nice program and a lot of people came. After Felipe was baptized, he started going up the stairs and then turned around and jumped head first into the font haha. I was one of the witnesses and had the doors closed with my head peeking in and saw it. It was pretty funny. Matías then got in and got wet up to his neck even before getting baptized haha. This week we had a lesson with Caterin and she told us that she really wanted to get baptized and realized that she needed to go to church-that was what she was missing. Well she came to church yesterday and loved it! She was already walking to the church when we went up to look for her. She said that she had had a work party for her husband the night before and hadn’t gotten home until like 2 in the morning but was going to church no matter what. It was pretty cool. We had been working with a lady named Jessica. She is really receptive and loves the “classes” we give her. She has the problem that she works on Sundays. We were wondering on whether or not we should keep teaching her because she can’t really progress and we have other people to teach. We even fasted to know what to do as well as to help her know the importance of going to church. She told us this week that she was going to take an indefinite amount of time off of work so that she could go to church and prepare to get baptized. She doesn’t really need to work because her husband does but did it for something to do. She said she was going to church this coming Sunday so we will see how things go. The two families that we have been working with to re activate came to church as well. We went around yesterday to a few families and got pics with some of the families in the sector. Tonight we have changes. Wow the change has gone by fast. I really hope I don’t get transferred. We have a lot of potential for this next change in the sector. Well that’s what is going on here with me. All is going great and I am lovin it. Talk to you all next week!
