HEY!!!

This week was probably the coolest week ever!! We had like 50 parties for Elder Celis since it was his birthday on the 22nd and it was fun to celebrate that with him. Ok maybe not 50 but like 2 or 3. hahaha We had a really cool one at one of our investigators homes that was baptized on sunday here and after the party he said that was the best birthday party he had ever had before so it was really cool. They had a ton of people and there was probalby only like 3 members there so it was good to meet alot of new people and break down the misconseptions about missionaries or things like that. We spent a little bit out in the backyard playing soccer with the kids and some of the people were watching us and they could tell that we are normal people and just want the best for them so it was cool. But yeah Saturday we were able to baptize a guy who has been waiting 7 or 8 months to get baptized and it was so awesome to see him join the rest of his family who are members. It was especially nice because he is the dad and next week will get the priesthood so that will be a huge blessing. Sunday I was able to confirm him a member of the church and that was really cool. It was scary to do it all in spanish but it went well. Then right after church we got to baptize a family and it was super cool!! I got to baptize the daughter and then confirm the son and Elder celis did the others. It was awesome!! Probably the best part of my mission so far. I love just seeing families being affected by the gospel. Its amazing when its one person but when a whole family is invovled its relaly special!! So thats the exciting news for this week!! Everything else is going super good. We have transfers on the 2nd so we will know by next monday night who is staying and who is going. Hopefully we can both stay another one even though its unlikely to stay with a comp in this mission for 3 transfers but we will just have to wait and see.  I love y'all!
