Birthday Baptism and Bolleyball


Hi!

I can explain the "bolleyball" because in Spanish they don´t differentiate the B and the V sound so volleyball could technically be spelled bolleyball for the way it sounds, and i just needed a third word that starts with the letter "B"... AND i include that only because today we had a mission wide volleyball tournament (or should i say Bolleyball) today for Pday. My team lost so I don´t know why i included that, but it was fun!

Ok now for the good stuff! This week ANA AND THIARE GOT BAPTIZED!! They have worked so hard to get to this point so we were super excited! Plus this Wednesday was her birthday so she kept talking about her baptism as her best birthday present, and it was super cute. We were a little stressed all week planning out the baptism because we found out on Thursday that the other ward in our building had a baptism at the same date and time so we had to morph the two plans which worked out perfectly fine in the end :) Then we couldn´t find dresses for Ana and Thiare BUT we got them from a member and another ward so that also worked out perfectly fine in the end too! See the theme here about baptism stress, but it all somehow working out perfectly in the end? I am telling you! The church is true!

Another cool thing! Yesterday we had our day full of plans, but for some reason, they all cancelled... We were a little bummed because we haven´t been able to find the people we are teaching very much lately so we have been trying to find new people, and when all our appointments fell it meant contacting (in a way). SO for the majority of the day we walked around our sector with a list of tons of people, knocking on their doors. To your surprise, we actually had a blast! AND we were able to find four new awesome people that we are going to see again next week! Attitude is everything!

I hope you all had an amazing week!! Thank you for all your support!
