Hey Family!
Well this week was great. Lourdes and Miriam got baptized on Saturday and it was a great service. We had a lot of people come and there was just a great spirit present. I made some banana bread from the recipe that you gave me (mom) and everyone LOOOOVED it. Even if they don´t have shortening here. I baptized Lourdes and Elder Larsen Baptized Miriam, and then our Bishop, Obispo Villarroel confirmed Lourdes, and the High Priest group leader, Abuelo Gomez confirmed Miriam the next day in church. We had kind of an exciting day getting the font filled on saturday and trying to get everything ready. At first we just shoved a hose into the kitchen sink faucet and let ´er rip, but the water ran out after about an hour and we had no idea what to do until about two hours before the service was to start, two hermanas showed up and let us know about the secret spickot from outside the chapel.... so with two hours to go, and about 4 feet left to fill, we started and somehow there was enough water in the mobile font by the time everything actually started. It was really great. Lourdes made us some matching knit hats...on mine, she put W for "Willians" and on Elder Larsen´s she put a L for Larsen. I think it´s pretty dope. She also got us some shirts. Mine is about the rugby team here in Argentina, the Pumas, and how they won the world championship back in... 1946 or something like that haha. Elder Larsen says something like "Mendoza, Capital internacional de vino"
Anyhooo besides that, the sacrament meeting on Sunday was great. The Stake President came and talked about temples and how they bless us, and how we need to go si o si to the Buenos Aires temple or Santiago Chile temple as often as we can. It was just a good talk about the next steps that Lourdes and her family will be taking... soon. By the way, this is the Gutierrez family that I have been talking about for about 4 months. Ya buddy I´m happy!
We have to keep working with the rest of the family, but they will come. This next weekend we will be working so that Graciela and Matias can also be baptized. Keep them in your prayers!
I am good. I ate mondongo again recently. Its been a while, but I have been here long enough that it was actually muy rico.
I hope you are all doing good. Love ya! Have a good week!
Also, we have interviews with President Avila this week (the 20th) and so I will get my package that arrived! Thanks! Lots of love
