Oh yeah. Saturday - highlight of the week. Enrique was BAPTIZED. That's what's up. The baptism was so good. We had two really good talks, a really good musical number and of course, the BAPTISM. I know I have said this a million times before, but he was so excited and ready to be baptized. We taught him on Thursday, after English classes, before his baptism, and he said that he didn't feel any different than from before, but that all his friends and co-workers have all noticed a change in him. Like, he has more purpose in life and the light of Christ! So cool. Elder Josse and I didn't do anything for Enrique; he came prepared! The ward here is so fantastic too. There was lots of people that came to support Enrique in his bautismo and it was so cool to see that. The ward here is like one big family! I never thought I could love a bunch of people that I cannot understand in just a few short months. Then, the next day, Sunday, was excellent! The youth had just returned from Youth Conference the night before, and a lot of them shared their testimonies. The Spirit was sooooo strong! And of course, Enrique received the Holy Ghost! Man. So cool. And the Aaaronic Priesthood too! His weekend was jam packed with life changing things! I am so glad I was able to be a part of it.
Nothing really compares to that, so I think I will just stop there for the week.
Just kidding!
On Monday (yesterday), we got a new investigator! And she's getting baptized on May 20! (in Mexico). Her name is Copitzy, and she is visiting her sister up here for two weeks. She was being taught by missionaries down in Mexico, and she is ready to be baptized! When she came up here, she looked for some missionaries to keep on teaching her. So, we did! It's kind of a weird situation, because we have no idea how much she has actually been taught, but she already knows most of the doctrine. Her husband is getting baptized too on the 20, but he's in Mexico. So yeah, new investigator, but not really.
Also, on Monday, I was offered to be baptized in the Catholic church in the street! We were contacting, I went to talk to this guy, and he's like, "Hey! I can baptize you in the Catholic church right now!" I tried responding back, but he just kept on walking away. I missed my chance of being baptized :(
Today we had district activity! I love district activity. It was Elder Gibbons' last one FOREVER. He goes home next week. It's so crazy how quickly time goes by! Elder Gibbons, Hermana Kohrman and I were on a team and we played Ultimate Frisbee and our team destroyed the other team (Hermana Allsop, Elder Chavez and Elder Josse). It was a lot of fun.
That's really about it for my week. A lot of our appointments fell through, and so we haven't been teaching much, sadly :( But, we just keep moving forward! There's no time to waste!
So, what I found out about Mother's Day, is we go to a member's house to call. I guess anytime of the day, but I don't really know. We will be busy when you have church, so it couldn't be then :( :( :(
We are able to go to the temple every other transfer. We went to Newport again. It's such a nice temple! I can't wait to go to San Diego! It's SO COOL!
It's going good with Elder Josse. There are definitely a lot of rough times, but nothing too major. We are both pretty sure that I am leaving the end of this transfer (next week). He's taught me a lot of good things, and he has been a good companion. Elder Simmons is down in Elder Nealy's zone and they are able to work together! Lucky! Hermana Farr is in Fallbrook or something and the only time I have seen her was at transfers and Elder Nelson conference.
Tobyn is graduating?!?!?! OMJ! Time goes by wayyyy too fast... Soon, he will be out serving a mission too! In Carlsbad! With me! Speaking Spanish! WOO! That's pretty cool he was picked to be a cheerleader at SUU; that's quite an accomplishment. Tell him congrats! And Zack too! (even though he hasn't emailed for a long time :( :( :( ) He leaves in a transfer! Oh man! Time is going to go by so quickly!
Thanks for the package! It was a really nice one to get.
The new cabin looks really awesome! Only a little while longer and I can go there! Yeah!
Thanks for everything! I love you all! Have a wonderful week!
Love, Elder Hunt
P.S. Where did Maddy and Kelsey translate their Spanish from? jajajajajajaja
