This week was slowish. I can't really decide. We had a lot of success with Mariela; she is getting excited for her baptism -- as are we. And we had a really great lesson with Ruth and her family / husband again. Her neice Ligia came with her non-member husband as well. We watched the Testaments and when we flipped the lights on all the women, and me, were crying. Booyeah. I love that movie, it really helps us understand the BoM and also the love of Christ in our lives. We had a great little testimony meeting afterwards and it seems as though Ligia has made a few mistakes since her baptism in December so we told her why we have repentance/confession! Not to scare you, to help you! So We are cheering her on! We're hoping the movie impacted the husbands a little bit and maybe they understand the message a little bit more, we'll see.
Our branch does something really cool that I haven't seen before. Each fast sunday at church the Elders Q. and Relief society are each given a paper that they put their name on and the families they have for visiting teaching, at the end of the month, they bring them back with the information they recieved from the family. Including, whether they talked to them on the phone or had a visit and what they know about the family. If they don't bring it back, the President(s) work with the individuals that aren't pulling the line. How neat! It's a little harsh, but it really makes it easy for everyone else and they love to do missionary work because of it.
Well, Next week is the baptism! Going to be a great week! We're going to do a little more finding this week and hopefully everything falls correctly! We don't have super crazy plans yet that I'm just going crazy about, but that could be just because I'm really tired. I'm glad it's P-Day!
I included some pictres of the apartment and one of Elder Rogers and I! Not too shabby of a place, right?!
I love you and I'm praying for each of you every day!
