So, I Had a Baptism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We received an email from Scott today!

He is really hot but happy!

He had a baptism and is working with many investigators. 

Here's what he had to say...

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I had a baptism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was pretty dang exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

One of the newest members of the church, Sara.  Isn't she beautiful!?!  I love her mom's shirt...it says, "Today MUST be my day!" Love it!!!!  His companion, Elder Meyer, baptized her and Scott confirmed her.  

 Also we have at least 2 more for sure this month. They're really strong fechas (that guy who we were waiting on his marrige papers, and Balbina) and we'll probably have 1 maybe 2 more!!!!!!!!! So I'm pretty excited about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I started uploading more pictures and and could you organize it in some way where all the Panama pictures are together and all the MTC pictures are together? Anyways, yeah it's pretty much incredibly hot all the time!!!!!!!!!! Like remember how everyone always pours water all over their heads and the water's dripping and everyone pretends like they're sweating a lot? That's how it is, but with real sweat and all over your body. Never in my llife have my forearms sweated. And here, they drip with sweat!!!!!! Ha ha it's pretty nuts!!!!!!!!! And yeah water gets into my house all the time. especially when it rains a lot. For some reason they decided it was a good idea to build the rain gutter on the inside of the house. So we basically have a waterfall in our house when it's raining hard. I'll get video of it the next time it happens. We also have a lot of other investigators. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot!!!! This area is nuts!!!!!!!! Investigators just seem to fall out of the sky!!!!!!! But yeah we've defintely got our hands full!!!!!!!!! Oh and one of our investigators works in a Chino (Chinos are little stores that they have EVERYWHERE here!!!!!!! They sell stuff for SUPER cheap!!!!!!!!!! and they're normally owned by Chinese people.) And most of them you don't go inside of the store, you just walk up to a a window and tell them what you want and they get it for you. And the girl we're teaching works in one of those kinds (with the windows) and she invited us inside and gave us free sodas and we talked to her for like 45 minutes on the inside of a Chino!!!!!!!! Nobody gets that opportunity!!!!!!!!! Ha ha it was pretty dang sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Like I said, everything's going good here!!!!!!!! Yesterday I had an interesting experience. We got invited by the lady who gives us lunch Sundays to go to the cemetary with her. Not knowing why, we went with her. It turns out her oldest son died 12 years ago. I guess he was 16 years old getting ready to serve a mission. And it was interesting becasue she told us that the only reason why she's not sad all the time is because she knows that he's in the Spirit world teaching and being a missionary to those who are in spirit prison. It was a cool thing to experience. I never realized until yesterday how big of a blessing it is to have the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. And to know that this life isn't the end. 

Anyways, it sounds like you're all doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That' SUPER cool about Cole going on a mission!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had like 3 dreams where we were companions!!!!!!!!!!!!  Anyways, I hope you all have a FANTASTIC WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love and miss you all SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
