Happy Baptism Birthday! Sadly, I didn´t get the chance to eat pinapple-upsidown cake or rootbeer floats BUT we did have a baptism which is WAYYYYYY better. Mary has been through a lot to be able to be baptised. We actually had to call our Mission President 3 times for 3 different reasons in order to ask permision for her to be baptised. It´s been a fight, but she is so happy! She has a deep desire to be able to start over. In other news... saturday we were in the Colonia Veracruz looking for various people we had contacted. We ended up on the far end of the Colonia, up a nice little hill. We started to talking with a Señor and found out that his son had passed away that week, leaving behind a young wife and 2 small children. We entered the house and taught the 4 of them about the Plan of Salvation. What a blessing to be able to tell them where Oscar is now, what he is doing, where we all came from, what the purpose of it all is, and what they can do to be an eternal family. The Spirit was very strong in the lesson and I started to cry when we begain to teach baptism. The Spirit testified to me the importance of this sacred ordinance and I felt incredibly blessed to be baptised with my entire family. I may not be with my family right now, but I have all of eternity to enjoy with them if I do my part right here, right now.
So Happy Baptism Birthday, 40 years.
Love you all!
Me, Mary, Hermana García

Elder Smart and Elder Clark are super Zone Leaders. They took out hours of their day to help us out with the baptism. Round of applause for Elder Smart & Elder Clark

Is it still against the rules if the TV isn't on. This is why Hna García and I shouldn't be left alone in a house.
I'm gonna miss the mole here....
We had to find a new house. This one should do nicely.
