Well another great week out here! I'm kinda short on time again so this will be a short one, but this week we had a few baptisms! Eric, Jean Carlo, and Sherlyn were all baptized on Saturday. Eric is the friend of one of the priests in the ward who has been coming to church for the past 4 or 5 months, but hasn't had permission from his mom to get baptized until now. I've never seen someone so happy to be baptized. He gave me the biggest hug after the baptismal service. He was so pumped up and it was a really special experience.
Jean Carlo is the brother of Monica and Alexa, who were baptized in July. At first when we were teaching them, he'd hide in his room, but little by little, the Spirit worked with him until he came out, listened to us, and decided to get baptized. And Sherlyn is the daughter of a few less actives who have been coming back to church and she wanted to get baptized. The sisters also had a few baptisms and the elders from the other ward had some later that night so it made for a pretty special Saturday haha.
So obviously we went and celebrated with some McFlurries haha. Also that night was a Mother's day activity, so we helped serve some food and they gave us bowties, which looked awesome haha. We also helped out with a small activity for the Primary (see pictures), and I'll just leave that up to your imagination haha but it was super fun. They even invited a mariachi band, but they didn't show up until later so we had to take off before they got there. I was super bummed.
But I'm out of time so I'll just cut it there! Love you all a ton! Hope everything goes well this week!
