Alexis was baptized!!!

Hey Mom!

Alexis was Baptized!!!! It was awesome. But it was the typical Latin American Baptism (her family is from Guatemala).  What I mean by that is it started 25 minutes late, her whole family was hugging each other and
celebrating the whole time. It was so funny. Everything went really well and she was confirmed yesterday. While we were waiting at church for Sacrament to start, the Grandma came up to us and was wanting us to come over for family home evening tonight but couldn't say it all in english so I said "Family Casa Evening?" as a joke and she started laughing and said that what she was talking about. It's always really cool when you see how one persons decision to change affected their family and that is what we are seeing with Alexis' family! It will be awesome to continue to be able to work with them.

On Wednesday we were on exchanges with the AP's. I wen into their area and worked with Elder Cluff.  He was in my District at the beginning of my mission. It was fun to work with him again. They cover George Mason University which is in my old are Wakefield. We did some street contacting there. We also had to deliver a car to some missionaries so we had to drive separately. That was awesome!

We had a couple of meetings this week and all went well. We were able to meet with this one less active man named Brother Rodriguez. He is really nice. One of the pictures I am sending is with his dog. It was a little yorkie that just laid right next to me and let me rub her belly the whole time. It reminded me of Trixie.

We had a lot of people at church on Sunday. We have a couple of people we are working with and 2 of them are progressing and will definitely be Baptized. One of them however is living with her boyfriend and his family. So we are teaching the law of Chastity tonight and really need to address that concern because that is holding her back from being baptized. She says she is ready and is on date for November 16th and wants it to be closer but obviously there needs to be a change made.

The 18 year old little Texan continues to be immature but it is funny. He pulled a good prank on us this week. He put flower on the Ceiling fan in the dining room and as we were all eating breakfast one morning he turned the fan on and flour went everywhere and got all over us. It was pretty funny not gonna lie but annoying at the same time. So that's what I'm living with hahaha.

Everything is going really well and we are loving the work!

Love
