December 18, 2017 (Week 12)

Shoot well another semana has gone on by! 

This week was full of great blessings, first we got a baptismal date for a whole new family, they seem to be progressing great towards their baptismal date.  Also, we have been teaching with a less active family that has an 11 year old boy named Alex that wants to be baptized.

Interestingly enough, Alex is already reading the Book of Mormon every day and is ready for baptism, we just need to reactivate his parents.  But they are progressing well and we hope to have his baptism on the 23rd, this Saturday!  Also this week we had our zone conference/Christmas feast with the presidente del mision. 

Then the next day we had the Ward Christmas party, where there were "only" a few injuries with the primary pinata this year. The day after this we had the ilumina el mundo presentation in the city square with the whole zone.  It was a great opportunity for people to learn about the church and participate by writing a positive message on a pass along card and then releasing them all at once on baloons to someone who needs it in the world! 

Then, the unfortunate last event of this week was Elder Barragan needing to go to the hospital for a problem in his intestines, we pray that everything will be well with him.  Anyways, thanks for the thoughts and prayers, I love each of ya!
