Well, this been a very good week for me. They came and
fumigated the house again! So that is always a lot of fun. The house always
smells a bit funny afterwards.
Today we went to the cross again that is sitting
on top of the mountain with most of the zone. Then came back and the district
president bought us all pizza to be “motivated”, as he put it. It was fun, but
I am also really tired. We hike up and down a mountain every day doing
missionary work. So hiking up a mountain for fun is not the same right now.

This week we visited some references that we got from the
branch at church last week. The first is named Annyi who has been going to
church for a while . The missionaries haven’t visited her for a while since
she couldn’t get her mom’s permission to be baptized. But supposedly she has it
now and we have plans for her baptism this Wednesday. She will also be getting
married that day.
The other reference is named Aldo. He used to be a pastor in
another religion and has been baptized in three other churches. All I can say
is that he knows the Bible really well and we learn a lot when we go over to
teach. His wife is a less active member. She told him she wanted to go to
church last week so she went and he went with her. We have plans to baptize him
and their 9-year-old son the next week or maybe this week. So we should finish
the month with seven baptisms which is really good.
We also had the baptism for one of the Maria’s we have been
teaching. We had the baptism on Sunday before church and it almost didn’t happen. We put her in the taxi and then we ran down the mountain to get the
church. But all went well and she was baptized and confirmed.
But that was the week. Mom, I can still send you the
pictures of the spiders, if you would like. Or maybe tell other stories, but
that wouldn’t be any fun. Have a fun week.
