2 Baptisms

Soo...... big news for this week: TWO BAPTISMS! wooooo!!!! These two pretty much fell from the sky into our lap, what a miracle. It was supposed to be three, but I´m not gonna complain too much. So two weeks ago a member took his cousin and her kids to church, she liked it and accepted us to pass by her house. She lives in another city so we either have to take a busride there or hitch a ride with a member, which is much better, first lesson:
*so... Joseph smith restored the church.... wanna be baptized?*
*hmmm no thank you*
*it´s good*
*hmm.. OK!*
Exactly like that... sort of. So we continued to pass by every few days until they went to stake conference in the center this Sunday and her and her daughter got baptized. WOO!! And since it was after stake conference Pres. Prieto watched the baptism, so that was pretty groovy. Her other son was supposed to be baptized too.. But he decided to be dumb and didn´t go. Oh well. we´ll get him this next week.

Other big news... I was walking in the street the other day... daydreaming, looking in the sky, when i saw a bunch of trash just flying around in the air... in circles... i stared for a while with glossy eyes not entirely realizing the event that was taking place... then i snapped back to reality and saw a massive dust devil passing us. The next thing I know, my body has taken control and I´m sprinting down the dirt street after it trying to catch it. I cant imagine what it must have looked like to all the people watching, an American in shirt and tie sprinting after a dust devil yelling with glee. wellIi finally caught it and threw myself into it, I experienced a few seconds of awesomeness before it decided to disappear... lame.... but so worth it. :D

So now the zone has 9 baptisms for the month... not TOO bad... but still not where we wanna be, we´re shooting for 17, and with one more week in the month and a few dates in the zone waiting to be thrown in the water... we´re pretty sure we´re gonna make it... and watch pirates of the Caribbean after. haha :D I´m still waiting for the *glory-of-men-newsletter* to come in to see where our zone is the standings, I think we´re doin pretty good.

As we were leaving one of our investigators, she stopped us at the front gate and said *brothers... Jesus is telling me to give an orange to each of you, so go pick an orange* hmm.... sure! so we got our oranges and left. cool lady :D

Also, we got the chance to break a mental sweat again this week, one of our investigators had found a bunch of anti-Mormon material and printed it off and asked us to explain, at least he was really sincere, otherwise we would have just laughed in his face and left. So we did our job and explained most of it... the more *reasonable* objections while throwing out the completely ridiculous, then told him to just read the Book of Mormon and find out for himself. Good guy, I like him. Bible dictionary=missionaries best friend

hmm.. so last night I had another nightmare that I came home early.. almost started crying.

Alrighty, so I just got the email saying where josh is going.. that´s WAY COOL!! Paris France!!! wooo!!!! I´ve heard lots of things about missions in France... I´ll wait to tell Josh once he´s there... or he´ll just find out for himself. OH YEAH! that´s way cool!!! HOO RAH!

well, I love you all.
