Yo ya me voy (tal vez...)

So this week was quite busy!  Wednesday we had the weekly activity at the church!  This time we set up the volleyball net and the members had a lot of fun.  There were about 40 people that came, many of which were not members, which is awesome!  We are quite happy with the turnout we are getting!

Me and my boy, Vicente!

Me and the Cancinos, an awesome family in the ward!

Thursday was a crazy day.  We went on divisions with the zone leaders.  I went to Tierra Blanca and Elder Uribe came to Tres Valles.  I assumed that I was going to be with Elder Browning all day ... but nope!  I got there and I went with Elder Rangel and we went door-to-door contacting for a few hours.  We then met up with the other missionaries and I went with and Elder Brimley (from Long Beach, CA) to eat lunch and to teach his investigators.  Not a single one of his investigators was available ... so we went door-to-door knocking for another few hours.  Basically, I spent all of Thursday just walking all over Tierra Blanca.

Saturday was pretty awesome! Jose got baptized!!  On Tuesday, we had a good lesson with him and his mom.  We invited them to be baptized.  Jose said, "I'm all ready, baptized me this Saturday" (more or less).  Hermana Flor said she wanted to see the baptism of Jose first and then get baptized the next week.  Jose is setting the example for his mother!

Jose's baptism!



However, transfers are tomorrow and I am most likely leaving.  So I probably won't be able to see her baptism.  But they haven't told us anything yet about transfers so who knows!!  Stay tuned until next week to find out.

Sunday was awesome because Joseph (a 19 year old boy in the ward that goes on visits with us) got his mission call.  He is leaving for Hermosillo, Mexico on March 13th.  It was way fun to see him open his call.  It brought back all the feelings from when I opened mine.

The mission call!

But yeah that was my week!  Hope you all had a great week too and that you have a great week this week!

Miss you all!
