Hellllllllo everybody!
Pretty exciting stuff this week! We had a baptism! Hermana Clara Gallegos got baptized on Sunday morning, nice and early. 9:00am, to be precise. And since the font takes about four hours or so to fill up... we had to wake up at 4:30 to go fill it. Yep. That was fun. I'm not sleep deprived. You're sleep deprived. Anyway. :P The baptism went really well, Hermano Martin (Clara's boyfriend) baptized her, and then after the baptism, proposed. Definitely a new experience. I think that's the first proposal I've ever been at, which is surprising, since I did spend a whole semester up at BYU. ;) Speaking of, Congratulations to all my newly married and engaged friends! (Making me feel old, but whatever)
Other things: We had a Blitz here in my area on Friday, which went remarkably well. Turns out, street contacting is just kind of overpowered. I think between the six of us in our district, we banged out about a hundred fifty or so conversations in an hour and a half. And we got a bunch of numbers to call. So that should go towards increasing our teaching pool nicely. We're going to have another one in my old Area, Aguilas, on Wednesday. Should be fun. Plus, right after that, the plan is to start Companion Exchanges, and I'll also be going to Aguilas. Nostalgia seems to be on the menu this week.
And to wrap things up, a tale of Mexican things. There's a little store about half a block from the chapel, which makes it very convenient when we're hungry. And the store has always been blue. Until yesterday. When they painted it red. Why did they paint it red? Because they contracted with Coca Cola. And apparently, one of the requirements to contract with Coca Cola is that you have to paint your store red. So now it's red, I guess. :P Just thought that was kinda funny. Anyway. See you all next week!
