Font of cold water

Hey family sorry for not writting you guys yesterday. I have been having so many problems with the stupid computers here. Yesterday i spent the first 30 minutes trying to get logged into my account. Then after that I got to read all the emails that you guys sent me but it took forever. Then when I tried to write you guys it kept erasing my emails…oh man I was so frustrated. So after about a hour of fighting the computer me and my comp finally gave up. I guess the church site is having problems so I am sure all the missionaries in the world are having problems talking with the families. But ya now everything is all good…

Haha this have been a pretty good week. We are working as hard as ever to find new people to teach and trying to help the people we have to progress. This past Saturday we had the baptism of Anastasia. It went really well, but at the first I was about to have a heart attack. We got there and started the baptismal font and went to go visit a investigator. Then we came back and there was barely any water. And it was 8:30. the baptism was suppost to start at 9. so I was freaking out. So then at nine the only people that were at the baptism were me and my comp, Anastasia, her brother and grandpa, and the president of the primary…oh man I was freaking out. And still we didn’t have very much water. So we turned off the hott water and turned on just cold. Finally at 9:30 we had enough water and about 20 other people showed up so it all turned out good. At the end all went well and it was a very nice baptismal service. Anastasia said that the water was kinda cold but that it was ok haha. 

Also this week we found this really awesome lady. We were knocking doors in the blocks (really getto) and we knocked this door and this lady came out. We told her that we are reps of Jesus Christ and we wanted to enter to leave a blessing on her house so that she would be more calm and happy. So she let us in and we did blessed the house. After that, she told us that she has been passing through a really hard time. A little while back their 14 year old daughter told them that she is pregnant. The dad flipped out. So the mom send her daughter to the south with some relatives so that the dad wouldn’t do anything stupid. So the dad left a couple days ago and still hadn’t arrived when we got there. She said that she hasn’t felt peaceful or calm for 2 weeks and then when we got there she felt so calm. We taught about eternal families and that this life is for us to progress and learn. We taught about the atonement and it was awesome. She said that she loved it and wants to learn more. So we are going to go and teach her and her husband and hopefully in the near future her daughter. 

But ya I better go cause I don’t know if this email is going to work or not. I hope that it doesn’t get deleted again. I love you all tons. Hope you have a awesome week. Keep praying for me. Chao!!!

Love
