man this was a way crazy week. really good, really bad, but it finished out good. ok we ill just tell you that we flooded the church at our baptisms. it takes about three hours to fill up and we came back a little before 3 hours and the baptismal font needed a little more water so we went out side and took a bunch of pictures and kinda forgot about the font............well when we went back inside we saw that there was a ton of water in the hall way and the viewing room. i ran to the janitors closet to get the mop and we started cleaning up the water immediately but there was already a lot of water. ill send some pics. anyways after about 20 min of trying to mop up the water from the carpet we started the baptisms. there was 4 people getting baptised. 3 of them we were teaching and another was a little girl from the ward who turned 8 and her uncle baptised her. it was really cool because he leaves for his mission soon. but anyways when it was my turn to baptise one of our investigators i said the baptism prayer and once i started putting her in the water to baptise her she started panicing like crazy and was like shaking while i was trying to put her under the water. it was really bad. well long story short she didn´t end up getting baptised and i pretty much traumetized her, after flooding the chapel of course. but we still baptised 2 of our other investigators!! but now everything is alright and she´ll get baptised soon once she calms down...hopefully. but other than that we had a killer week. this is my comps and i first time not being junior companion and we got a call from the zone leaders and asistants congratulating us on our week. so i guess we did alright.
so how is everyone doing? sounds like katie enjoyed efy and kevin is riding his butt off on his bike. and everyone is getting married! jeeze that is so awesome. i cant believe talina is getting married. that is really good for her. and jonnie langford way to go! chelsea too!. there will be like a hundred more crying babies when i get home. that´ll be fun.
well it has started to rain like crazy here. you are all in the nice summer and i wear a complete rain suit with my umbrella getting soaked. its actually pretty funny i find myself just laughing for some reason walking down the street while it is pooring and we´re the only ones in the road. its awesome. but we have a lot of people that we are teaching and at least 4 really good possibles for baptism.
dad you asked if i really wanted you to send my longboard to me. i would absolutely love that here the hills are crazy but i couldn´t really use it. i would like a real sized american flag and some of my white and purple electric jacket when you do send a package. hahaha and money is always welcome if anyone is thinking of sending something........
well i love you all a lot i hope you are all doing great! i am having a way good time down here in chile. i liked seeing my plack too that is in the church.
well take care everyone
