It`s been a pretty crazy week.
All 3 of our baptisms ended up happening, but not the same night. So we spent most of the day thursday getting ready for the baptisms that night. Carlos, Micaela, and the rest of their family showed up about a half hour early. Then Carlos took us in his car to go look for Beti, the old lady that was getting baptized that day too. We got to her house and no one was there. We rang the doorbell a ton of times but she never answered. We tried calling her too but her phone was turned off. So we ended up just going back and having the baptism of Carlos and Micaela. It was a really cool baptism though. A lot of members came, and afterwards we ate some pizza and cake.
The next day we were able to find Beti and she told us that she had been really sick and had went to the hospital. Luckily, since the weekend was stake conference, there was a big baptism planned on saturday for the whole stake. So she was able to get baptized and confirmed saturday afternoon right before the adult session at 7. Carlos and Micaela came early sunday morning and got confirmed before the meeting started. Elder Clayton was at our stake conference. Turns out he speaks spanish really well because he served his mission in Peru and lived in Argentina for 4 years while he was the Area President. We also met as an entire mission yesterday and he came and visited us. That`s why I`m writing today.
Carlos and Micaela are so cool. Carlos is preparing to recieve the Aaronic Priesthood. We also started teaching the grandma, María, and she wants to get baptized too.
Anyway, this is kinda rushed but we gotta send in 3 baptismal records today so I gotta get on that.
Have a great week!
-Elder Shelton
