Mirta and Pelusa, her aunt, came to church today, and went to all three meetings. They enjoyed it, but it was a long time for them to sit. I hope they will come next week too. Thank you for your prayers. Here is a picture of us in the lobby of our building, as the taxi was pulling up.
I am wearing the beautiful scarf they gave me for my birthday and Christmas. I got lots of compliments on it, in front of them. That was my idea. Our ward was so friendly to them! I am grateful to be in a ward that welcomes everyone. How wonderful it is to see a ward embrace and encourage new members and investigators. There were 5 investigators at church today and a one-week old member, Diego.
Diego is in his late 20's. He wanted to hear more about the church because he has a friend who is a member. He took the discussions and was baptized last Sunday. He received the Aaronic Priestood today. He came to church in a suit and tie and looked like a returned missionary on the way to being a stake president. He is a very impressive tall, handsome young man. The father of the friend (a girl) baptized and confirmed him. His future looks bright.

Changing the subject, Mirta and I go to the feria on Saturday mornings about 10:30. Yesterday, she looked so summery and stylish with her sun hat, I had to take a picture or two. She is a good friend and I will miss her dearly.

It is always hard to say goodbye to good friends, I am excited to have you home but I am sad that you have to leave behind so many good people!
It's so true. I tear up everytime I think about it, which is at least once or twice a day. I will be okay once we get to the United Staes.
That is wonderful! I also read your post announcing her baptism (that's so amazing) but again the post is showing up in google reader but not on your blog. I love the pictures. When do you guys come home?
