Service Project, Investigation and baptism

Image
 This  week flew by.  I can't believe its p-day already. I've got some good stories this week!! To start out we did a service project. It was our first big service project.   We were asked to build a chicken pen, well we traveled to this older lady's house who lives in the middle of nowhere and when we got there, we had 0 plans.  It was a mess of a project. Basically, we are in the middle of a forest with trails and 3 kinds of open areas we can build this pen in. The lady chooses the worst area and we start to dig holes for the posts with what grandpa price calls the "big pry bar" and a coconut shell. It took forever to dig one then she decided to move it so I was a little mad cause we took 10 min to dig a 1-foot hole and now we are moving it. We moved the material to another area and she said that there were fence posts on the edge of her property so me and Ramirez went and grabbed some.  As soon as we got back and set them down our legs were in so mu...

  What's up everyone? To start off I'm just going to say it me and my comps are awesome at this missionary stuff! We finally got Harold and Evalyen married on Friday and got her baptized Saturday! Getting married here is super complicated and strange. But it all worked out. The wedding party was fun even though we can't dance or anything we still had a good time.

Well, When someone starts yelling at you in a language you don't know very well you get a little frazzled.  I paniced and just starting saying NO ENTIENDO, NO ENTIENDO!!! which means I DONT UNDERSTAND!!

This  week has been amazing and I'm starting to love it here. We have had cake 7 times this week!!!It was Elder Hernadez birthday at the beginnig of the week, so we ended up having cake at 2 different people's house. Then we had cake for a lady's birthday party, then at a baptism, Then on Saturday it was my comp Elder Ramirez birthday and we've had cake 3 times for it.  We plan to have at least one more cake!!!!!  People like to eat and celebrate. We had a baptism which is sooo awesome but there was a little hiccup, and it was partially my fault but IDK how I would have been able to fix it.  Saturday and we baptized 3 kids, Allison, Elvia and Elvin. I baptized Allison, shes almost the same size as me.   It was kind of hard because the faunt WAS SLOWLY DRAINING!!! By the time I got in the faunt it was lower than my knees.  I didn't know how I was going to do this. It took my 2 tries but I somehow got it. After me, Wixom and Ramirez had to baptize with l...
