So there isn't much that happened this
week, but FRANCISCO BAPTIZED!!!! His baptism was on Friday the 21st of
October. Not a whole lot of people showed up but Sister Freebairn was
there which was really good since she is the only member in the ward
that is of Hispanic descent. There are a few members that served Spanish
speaking missions and so Francisco will have people to talk to in
Spanish. He is also pretty good speaking English and understands a lot.
One
of the cool things about the baptism was that his cousin Ricardo rode a
bus for 14 hours from Mexico to here just so he could come baptize
him!! His cousin is a High Priest in Mexico and has been helping
Francisco learn about the gospel. We got to talk with Ricardo a lot and
he asked if we would be able to teach Francisco again in English so that
he could learn Gospel English. He told us that he thinks that soon
Francisco will have an opportunity to share the Gospel in English and
wants him to be ready. We are planning on teaching all of the New Member
lesson to him in English now so that he learns.
Well that is all I have for this week. Love you all!!
P.S.
Yes we planned for me to be half out of that picture with the Sisters.
They are holding a pizza that I made and told me to stand awkwardly in
the picture.
