Well this week pretty much rocked. We had two baptisms, and three confirmations. Our first baptism is a little boy whose name is Luis (9 yrs old). Luis is pretty awesome. His uncle, brother, and grandma are members. We’ve been teaching him off and on for a while, but we were a little concerned about baptizing him because he’s so young and we didn’t want to baptize him if he didn’t have a testimony. We had been constantly challenging him to pray and ask God if the things we were teaching him were true. A few weeks before his baptism he told us that he had prayed and had a wonderful feeling as he prayed and told us that he really wanted to be baptized.
Our other baptism, Ana (20 yrs old) was a similar experience. Her boyfriend is a member and we were a little worried that she was getting baptized for him because they were planning on getting married pretty soon too. We started teaching her and from the start we challenged her to ask God if the things we were teaching her were true. After several weeks she was kind of frustrated because we kept on describing to her what she might be feeling, but she hadn’t felt a response yet. About a week before her baptism we asked her how she was doing with her prayers and she said "great!!!" She described about how that week she had prayed on her knees about if the things we were teaching her were true and she said she felt a wonderful indescribable feeling that just made her feel really really good. After that she was so excited for her baptism. After she got baptized and after she got confirmed she was crying with tears of happiness.
Anyway, that’s all the time for today, but...
The church is true!! I love you all!!

Luis was baptized by his uncle who is a member. He's a stud!
His uncle looks kinda weird in this one, but Luis had a great smile (right after I told a joke)
Ana, a golden investigator we taught, was baptized by her boyfriend Jorge. They are planning on getting married in a few months and sealed in a year :)
