What an awesome week we have had this past week! So many awesome things happened including the Baptism of Andrew! We had a Baptism! Yes!
Monday was an interesting day. We went to play sand volleyball and the sand was to hot so we played football instead. Then it got even more warmer outside so we walked around the mall for a couple of hours. Story of a missionaries pday. It was alright. That night we had dinner with the Perez family and they had a non member friend over. They are the best.
Tuesday we had a lesson with Jeff and Karen. Jeff is Karens non member friend we are teaching now. It was the second lesson we taught him. He is doing well. that night we went to teach Teresa. I was a good lesson. At first it was hard to teach with her kids going crazy!
Wednesday we had D-meet. it was alright. Then we went see a new gator Chip with Bro. Ruiz his friend. it was a great lesson. Then Andrew was interviewed by another missionary for Baptism and he passed! Then we went to see the Patillos. Then they took us to play some dodgeball with some gators.
Thursday we had a good last lesson with Andrew before his baptism. It was amazing. The rest of the day we did not have any lessons because all our appointments fell through. That seems to happen a lot. oh well.
Friday was good. We had fun. we had a good dinner at Eckerts with the Gross family. we left our number there hoping the waitress would call and want to be taught. And she did! It was awesome! It has never worked before... We had the best lesson yet with Randy. It went so well with him!
Saturday was the Baptism! First Baptism in this area! Andrew and his 8 year old sister were baptized. Andrew is 10 so he counts as a convert. It is a part member family that just got active again. My comp and I sang and I played the uke for the musical number. Then we went to a bbq that night after service with Randy and the mission prez and all the missionaries in the stake. It was a blast!
Sunday was awesome. A random couple showed up to church! it was great. We are teachign them now. Randy came and so did Jeff. they loved it. It was aweosme because i got to confirm Andrew and Bishop baptized him. it was a great week!
