A CRAZY WEEK, ANOTHER BAPTISM AND A GOAL OF 100 BAPTISMS FOR THE ZONE THIS MONTH!!!

No email problems this week!  After seven straight weeks of sending my email to Taylor Monday morning around 8 or 8:30 A.M., to make sure I didn't forget anything, knowing he didn't write until about 11:30 A.M., this week I sent it on Sunday evening to try and avoid the problems of the last couple weeks.  What a blessing, because today Taylor wrote at 5:10 A.M.!!

hola!

well sounds like all is going well back home. keep looking for the job mom! you will find something im sure. you are just finding a lot of people going to argentina arent you? well this is probably my most crazy week yet. a lot has happened. well to start off, silvana got baptized! but there is a super long story behind it. to start off, tuesday we had district meeting, afterwards, we did divisions and i went to maldonado and elder cox went to cerri with elder milne. so i am out with elder metcalf and we are doing contacts when i get a phone call from elder cox saying we are having a baptism that day. i was a bit confused. so he tells us silvana is goning to get baptized that night. apparently, while cox and milne were walking by a store, they saw rodrigo, silvanas son. he said that they were leaving that night. apparently, facundos friends had threatened her and she was planning on getting out of there and heading down to go live with her mom. so milne and cox went over to her house and told her she was getting baptized that day. so we called president detlefsen, got his ok and we had an emergency baptism. we also confirmed her as well. so after her baptism, she left an hour after her baptism with her kids. it was sad to see her and her kids go but what can we do? we got her address so we can send the missionaries over to finish all the lessons with her. so everything will go well there!

we also had zone conference this week. so i met all the missionaries in my zone. surprisingly there arent any hermanas in our zone. it was pretty cool seeing president and his wife as well. they told us that our gol is 100 baptisms this month and 180 next month! its a lot but we can totally do it. hopefully we have two baptisms this coming saturday. one of them is daniel ruiz and the other is abbigail lopez. her nickname is ara. yesterday both of them went to church, and we also had three other investigators in church. so we had five in church yesterday! daniel and his parents came, ara and another hermana who we tried to get a cita with but didnt. so we are having a pretty good transfer so far. well, those are the highlights of my week. i love you all and wish you the best!

con amor
