Baptisms of Facundo and Lucia

Hola mis queridos familiarers y amigos!

Well, we were able to have two baptisms on Saturday! Wooooh! Facundo and Lucia both got baptized, and it was such a neat experience! And the ward was so supportive! The baptismal service seriously looked just like a normal sacrament meeting, and then everyone had to squeeze in the Priesthood room for the actual baptisms haha. 

[...] is doing well too. We only saw her once this week, but she has been reading the BOM and already told us she feels it is true. We talked a little about marriage, and she actually took it really well! She said she would talk to her partner and that she doesn´t think he will have any problems with it, which is really awesome because they already have a few kids together. The only downside though is apparently the marriage could take a while because I guess the judge who would have to legally sign off on it is going on vacation until mid-January. I don´t really know how all of that works, but a few people have told us that, so that is lame haha.

Anyways, [...] is doing AMAZING! She is sooooo prepared, and seriously such a miracle. We had our first charla this week, and when we got there, she showed us that she already started reading the BOM we left her with on Sunday from the start, had prayed about it and that she knows it is true! And on top of that, she read both pamphlets we gave her, and 13 chapters of the Gospel Principles book from Sunday! She is suuuuper awesome. She wanted to know the absolute soonest that she could be baptized, and so she accepted a baptismal date for December 9th. And on top of that, she has been totally showing us up on missionary work haha. She apparently has been talking to a lot of her family and friends about the Gospel already, and gave us a few references after the first visit. She even went to go clean the church on Wednesday with the Relief Society, came to the baptisms on Saturday, and to church on Sunday, again with her little great granddaughter. She is already so excited about baptism!!

We have changes this week, and sadly, the whole district is getting torn apart :( Only Elder Peterson and I are staying. Elder Heaton and hermana Hibbert are both finishing their missions and Elder Ribeiro is going to be the new AP. It was a super awesome district :) Lots of fun. Gonna miss these guys!
