First and foremost, Guadalupe got baptized this week! Super exciting stuff, we're hoping to get her to the temple to do proxy baptisms this coming week, so wish us luck getting all that figured out. The baptism itself was pretty awesome, a whole bunch of members showed up because the bishop sent out a statement that the limit on gathering sizes had been removed by the stake president (who happens to be in our ward... hmm). So yeah. Just a really cool experience. :)
Other things: We had companion exchanges this week, the district leader came and payed me a visit, and we invited the family of Oscar (Which is eight people in total!) to be baptized. And they said they would love that! So we've got a couple more baptismal dates to work with now.
We've also been teaching a family from Chiapas (Southern end of Mexico), and while the dad speaks spanish, the mom only speaks a dialect of Maya called Tzeltal. Yeah. So we were scratching our heads trying to figure out how to help her, when the stake president (Love that guy) came to the rescue. He just called the mission president down there, and got us the number of a lady who speaks Tzeltal and Spanish. So hopefully that should help. And it's also just really cool. Connections, man.
Anyway, to avoid going too long, I think I'll leave it here for now. Hope you all are having a great week! Go share the Gospel, time's running out! (Only kind of kidding)
