La Serena semana 12‏

Can you believe that Elder Holmes training ended...just like that! Thats 3 months since he got here, and I feel like he just got here! Mi hijito es grande ya! *llorando lágrimas de felicidad*. jajaja Seriously though, I cant believe how time flies, nor how many blessings we have received! I remember about 6 weeks ago we were saying that we needed to pray for miracles and in these 6 weeks together, we have seen MANY miracles!!! 

First of, we were able to have the baptism of Tsuyoshi, and it was awesome! Also, Felipe from the other two elderes was baptized as well! So there was quite a few people there and it was all just awesome!!! We had all the clothes and they got there on time and it wasnt too stressful! jaja Thats a miracle in itself! jaja 

Also, sharing with Ricardo, he is SO AWESOME!!! He has told us his testimony, and he feels that everything is true! He has some small fears, but he knows that he needs to be baptized and he wants to do it. Now we just have to help him so that he doesnt feel scared to folllow through with his part! We are very excited for him .

      the funny side of things, Jueves we were walking over to lunch and we passed an englishman and he said " Los mormones, what can I do for ya sir?" in his thick accent, and Elder Holmes, with out missing a beat he replied "Get BAPTIZED, sir!" jaja It was quite hilarious!!! 

We also had a GREAT ward activity on friday, noche de postres (dessert night) and I made some 7 layer bars (oh were they GREAT!!!! jaja) and they actually were a pretty big hit! I had several different hermanas ask me how I made it because they didnt believe me that I had made it! jaja Thanks mom, I pass all the glory to you! ;) jeje 

Then Sabado we spent the day getting everything ready for the baptism and it all went well! We had all the white clothes and everyone got there on time. Tsuyoshi was happy and it was just awesome! I love when the familias can al be happy and excited for baptisms like that! And His older Brother was able to baptize him and I think I liked that most of all. To see two brothers in the baptismal waters together and that they can be sharing that spiritual moment together! jaja 

Then Sunday Elder Hancock had finished up his last day, and he left. Leaving elder Hales with Elder Holmes and I together! jaja So we are going to be in a trio until we have changes! It will most likely be like this until thursday morning! jaja But we are going to have a ball! Great Elderes, and the best mission, I love this life! jaja 

I hope that everyone is just loving this time! Felicitaciones to everyone who just graduated and I hope that the future brings you many great things! Always remember your prayers, and to read the book of mormon. I promise that it will be your anchor for when times get rough! I love you all!!!
