Familia!!! how are you guys doing! this week has been a very stressful
week! i'll tell you about it right now with my investigator update.
This week was a pretty crazy week but it was a good one! We had our
baptism of Yefri. He is going to be a strong member of the church and
will be a excellent missionary some day. Our other planned baptism for
this week needed to get post poned at the last minute because we
caught her drinking coffee two hours before her baptism. We went to
her house to finish filling out some of the paper work and after we
finished it we looked over and she had a cup in her hands. We had
smelt coffee when we got there but we figured it was one of the other
family members in the house that isn´t a member. We talked about it
and decided to post pone her baptism til the 7th of April. Two of the
other investigators that we´ve been teaching with her, Hilary and
Negro, wanted to get baptized too. So we put the same date with them
too. They have all the lessons also and have been to church almost
every sunday since i´ve been in this area. Our other fecha is Celenni.
She is still a super investigator and does anything we give her and
her grand daughter, Kayla, is sharing with us too. We have put a fecha
with her for the 21st of April. She comes with her grandma every
sunday and is as acceptive as Celenni. So yeah everything else is
going good the thing with nicole was messed up! awesome little 11 year
old drinking coffee two hours before her baptism! whatevs! its the DR!
i'm still laughing that it really happened! but it should be for the
best because they'll have the three friends together! but yeah i've
been sick this week! i have been eating some of the street food
because it's good but i swore off it i decided! and lately i've been
getting like allergies or something! i've been sneezing like crazy and
stuffy nose and all that! luckily i've got things i take back at the
house! So yeah other then that i've been making elder richardson some
good food! i think he's loving having me as a companion! he's been
with some dominicans and they've eaten alot of dominican food so when
i started making pancakes and burritos and chimichangas and
quesildillas and stuff like that he just started falling in love with
food again! This week i did get to learn from one of our ladies here
how to make a tortilla de papa which is a dish from spain! so i'm
gonna start working on that to come home and cook for you guys! i also
