OK here we go....

Hey there family how we doing?! So the good thing about this week is that we baptized!!! :) Her name is elizabeth and her kids name is francisco! :) This is a really good story actually. haha So we met this family over a month and a half ago. Like the first or second week I got here. So we didnt originally start talking with the lady that we baptized. haha we actually started talking to her daughter and her son of course. Well we didnt meet the mom until the second or third visit and she did not seem interested at all! Actually she left the room when we started talking about religion haha So it was like that for a while. Then one day we invited her to talk with us and she started to like what we taught. Kinda.... haha this family was super dificult though. We almost dropped them though. It was the last day that we were going to pass by and we decided to take a member with us just to try one more time. Well this investigator did something that we could never do. She touched the heart of this lady so badly that she was super excited to go to church on sunday saying I will be there right at 10 you dont even need to come get me. I will be there Punto! Actually the member was like I am coming to get you and I will pay for the trip. Well when she got in the church she loved it. Later she told me it was as if she had been there before. She loved church. Still didnt want to put a date for her baptism but wanted to go to church. haha So two weeks later we finally had a really good talk me and her and she accepted a date. We brought over our district leader to do the interview and she decided  not to do it. haha wow... So at church again we started to talk. With more members that she just happened to know. Well one member just happened to say, ¨when are you going to get baptized?¨ she was like I still dont know everything so I dont know. Then he said, ¨you dont need to know everything to get baptized.¨ She looked at him and then looked at me and was like I dont?! WE HAVE BEEN TELLING HER THIS FOR A MONTH AND A HALF!!!! We explained it a little there and went over the next day monday and set a date right there to get baptized with her son the following saturday! :) She got all  the lessons finished and then the interview again. BAPTISM!!!! So freaking hard but so worth all of the pain and stress. haha woot woot. So that was my story of the week.
