So the news of this week was that SAUL GOT BAPTIZED!!!!! He was very excited and he could not stop smiling the whole service! Right after the service, he called his wife in Mexico City and was just super happy. It was an awesome experience. The sad part was that Rosa got to the baptism and was really sick... she really looked like she was about to faint... it was bad. So we gave her a priesthood blessing and she went back home to rest. We visited her the next day and now she is feeling a lot better. We are planning to have her baptismal service this week! We also are planning a baptismal service for Angel. He is the 9 year old son of an investigator named Thelma. Thelma is also preparing to be baptized but needs to get married first. However, we believe that in this upcoming month of June she will be married and baptized! We are super excited for this week!

The other big news of this week was that one of our three wards, 5 de mayo, joined another ward and now is being covered by the sister missionaries in the other ward! So our area just got a lot smaller! This will help us time wise, however, we were working with four investigators in that ward. The sister missionaries will now teach them. We are sad to lose them but it's all good. Also next week our two remaining wards are joining together! The Uribe ward is joining the Tecnologico ward! That will be interesting for sure! So yeah, our three ward area now has become one single ward!

Another fun part of the week was yesterday we had the opportunity to take Saul to the chapel next to the temple of Veracruz! There was a fireside talk given by President Palmer for all investigators and recent converts, so we brought Saul to it. It was very spiritual and nice to be next to the temple. I also got to see a lot of other missionaries that I've met in my mission and see how they are doing, which was super fun!

But yeah, that was more or less my week!  Thanks for all your emails, hope you all have a great week!!
