The Spirit was WAY STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week was pretty good. We had 3 baptisms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hermana B and her 2 grandkids D and L. It was pretty sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually had the opportunity to baptize one of them!!!!! I baptized D. It was SUPER nerve-raking because it was my first time I´ve baptized someone in Spanish. But it went really well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After the baptism they all bore their testimonies and Hermana B´s testimony was SUPER GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! She told us how she´s known the missionaries since 1995 and for all these years she always found something that kept her from being baptized. But after almost 18 years she said that she finally felt ready and she was SO GLAD that she got baptized!!!!!!!! It was SUPER GOOD and the spirit was WAY STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But yeah the baptism went REALLY WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also have 2 other investigators that are pretty close to getting baptized. So we´ll probably baptize them by the end of this month!!!!! So we´re praying, fasting, and working hard to get them ready for baptism.

The House is actually pretty dang nice!!!!!!! It´s WAY nicer than my last house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha it actually has tile floor instead of just straight up cement!!!!!!!!!!! I haven´t had the chance to take too many pictures here yet. It´s been raining non stop for about a week and a half now. So as soon as it stops raining I´ll start taking some pictures. But yeah the house is nice!!!!!!!! There are people here that cook for us but we´re just a branch and we have 6 missionaries so we don´t have all of our meals cooked for us anymore. But most of them. Also President Ward got rid of the concineras for some reason and now instead of cocineras we just get money to use to buy food and cook for ourselves. It´s pretty nice but I wish we had cocineras still. It was nice. But it´s all good. 

No I don´t have a bike...I wish I did!!!!!!! But it´s still good. And no I didn´t think I´d ever be living in Panama let alone by the Caribbean Ocean!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha it´s kind of a weird feeling :) 

So we have this investigatorl and she really likes it when people cook for her. So she asked me if I could cook something for her. She said typical food from Utah. So can you send me the recipe for funeral potatos? I´m going to try to cook those. Ha ha hopefully it goes well!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha I´m not that great of a cook.

Well I´m glad that you guys are doing FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It sounds like you all are doing cool things and having fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
