The baptism that is still going to happen

Satan kind of won a little bit this week.  He tried to ruin our baptism, but he ended up just postponing it until next Saturday
We worked so hard with Nehemías and he was so excited for his baptism- but now it´s going to be an amazing service this week!
We had everything ready, we made a whole bunch of food.  Drained and cleaned the baptismal font as a district (we´re not sure why it doesn´t drain by itself)- and then Nehemías showed up when it was supposed to start and asked if we could move it to the next week because LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO A PERSON HAPPENED TO HIM IN THE 2 HOURS THAT WE WEREN'¨T WITH HIM BEFORE IS BAPTISM.  Satan is sneaky.
We read scriptures and prayed with him, and he felt better but we still postponed his baptism so that his family could be there.

We had a lot of really funny moments with  him through out the week because he´s crazy. 
He speaks 2 languages- castellano and gringo.

He accidentally left his baptismal clothing in the fridge.
And he pulled a a prank on us while I was on splits with our sister training leader.
He´s going to be the funnest convert in the entire world.

It´s the middle of winter here right now.   It feels like summer, because it´s 77 degrees outside.  In summer it gets up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit in the area I´m in right now. I miss real winter.

We had to move some of our furniture because it was like that part of the Indiana Jones ride in the blow-dart tunnel where it looks like the walls are completely covered in cockroaches.  And our bathroom has scorpions.  We´re trying to fumigate, so it´s kinda fun.  We´re all happy.

I love you guys.
Hasta la proxima!
