Weeeeelllll… Not much to report from down here. It’s actually been a little different this week, but not in an interesting way: We spent a lot of time setting up a wedding for one of our families so that they can get married the 19th of this month and then we can baptize them! (Well, her; the soon-to-be husband’s already a member.) And that might sound kind of interesting, but this “wedding” is just going to be them signing papers so they’re legally married and stuff. Soooo… Not going to bore you guys with that!
As for more interesting stuff… Yeah, I don’t really have much until Saturday, when we had FIVE BAPTISMS! We baptized the Trujillo family that I talked about last week, and it’s really awesome because it was just a really great experience! (Except for the hour before and 30 minutes after it should have started, because during this time we were looking for baptismal clothing for all of them; we only had two jumpsuits for the parents! Eventually Elder Rodriguez, one of the other missionaries, gave some of his white button-up shirts to the three kids and some white pants that they rolled up so they weren’t too long so they hade white clothing. It looked a little ridiculous, but it worked!) Of course we have pictures, and the cool part is I got to baptize the parents, Jesus and Vilma!
I’ve also got this photo that we took outside with the flash, but it’s not as good because we look like we’re all posessed or something (Especially me! What the heck?! Do I just open my eyes really big or something?!)
(Elder Mayta really needs to smile when we take photos!)
Well, not much else going on here, so I guess we’ll just have to hope for some more adventures in this upcoming week! Hopefully they won’t involve lots of dangerous ladders or parakeet attacks!
