Baptismal Interviews

Hey Mom! This week was great! We had a training in the capital, so we went to that, and it went well. We also found some good people this week, and we currently have 9 baptismal dates! I am very surprised and happy at the success we've had here in 1 transfer starting everything over here, but it's been great! Hopefully as soon as the next transfer starts next week, we'll start to see some of these baptisms happen. Super exciting stuff though!

As far as halloween goes. Noone celebrates it. It's just a normal day here. It's probably for the best though. Because they use most holidays here as an excuse to drink. Like, even their kids birthday parties, the kids will play, and the adults will buy CRATES of beer. 

Our investigators are doing well though. Nicanor now has a baptismal date. He didn't come to church though even though he told us he was going to. So we'll see what happened with him. 

Once we get the branch started (Which I think will be near the end of November) I think we'll be attending the branch.

On Sunday, We actually had a little sacrament meeting outside of someone's house in the sister's area, because I had a baptismal interview there. That was a cool experience. I'll send you a picture of the meeting. Also, I love baptismal interviews. My favorite part about interviewing people is asking them to share their testimony with me, because it's always something very special and heartfelt, and it's a wonderful guage to see if someone is prepared and spiritually ready to recieve the sacred ordinance of baptism.

Anyway! It was a wonderful week! We taught a lot, and we worked hard! I'm now trying to wean my companion off of english, so we have "No english times" Hopefully that will help him out. Love you guys! Have an incredible week!
