heyehey guys! well we´re in an office depot and i forgot the paper that i write of what i want to send to you guys and i dont have my camera cord so i cant send pictures either! its ok cuz its way expensive here so we have to hurry! well. we didnt baptize ANYONE this week hahahahahhaha ohhhh my heck it was seriously the most frustrating week ever. the 7 we wanted to baptize were 2 families of 3, and one like 11 year old girl. so they say they are all ready to go for this week, so me and one of the zone leaders go on splits for the whole day in our area and i take him to each house so he can interview them to be baptized. we get to the first family of 3 and the mom is like ´i was praying about my baptism and i recieved an answer that i should wait at least another week´ hahaha i really had no idea how i could argue with that so i was like alllll right hahaha her daughter is the one that we had throw her coffee off the roof. all 3 of them are ready and love going to church i dont get what the problem is but hopefully this week. so then we went to the other family of 3 and he started to interview the mom of THAT family and they talked for like 45 minutes and then after that we left and he told me that she has to be interviewed by the mission president before she can get baptized so she has to wait at least until next week too hahah ohhh my heck so our last hope was this leetle 11 year old girl named nahomi. we got there and her dad has to sign her cedula that lets her get baptized cuz shes under 18 and he went to uruapan, another city, for the next 2 weeks hahaha itwas sooo disappointing hahah ohh my heck. but! this week we should have better luck. remember that guy thats been meeting with the missionaries for 13 years? hes gonna get baptized this saturday so thats cool. we are gonna try to get as many of those 7 as we can for the same baptismal service that saturday. we wanna get as many of them baptized before next sunday because its the end of the change and either me or elder barnes will probably get changed to a different area! i hope its not me i love it here its way cool and our barrio is way cool too! everytyhing here is going good! I promised one of our investigators that if she stopped smoking id buy her her favorite pan, so she stopped and told me her favorite is something called a GARIBALDI and that they only sold it in a panaderia thats like an hour from our house hahahah so me and elder barnes had to walk all the way there to get this leetle donut thing thats the size of like a donut hole. it was expensive too. i bought one for myself cuz i had to know if they were good or not and it was OK but nothing that crazy! geeeez lady. ahhh im almost out of time but i love you guys tons! write me tons this week and i miss you guys! elder teeeeebeets
