Baptism!!

Guess who got baptized this week! Luisa! We got a call on Friday saying that they wanted to do it on Sunday, so we got it all prepared and it went through! We had planned that I would do the baptizing but at the last minute the branch president authorized the dad to do it. It turned out way awesome! We had to scramble to get everything ready for the dad to do it and the water ended up really cold for some reason. I felt bad about that... but it went really well and we have a new member here in Loma Verde!

Luisa and her family, with Elders Navarette and Talbot

So last week we had the exchange Monday and Tuesday and that went great! Got to visit a few different families. Wednesday we started the leadership conference by leaving Lakeland at 6:30 to get there by 8:30. We did a lot of role-playing to practice all that we had learned. At the end of each night they had arranged member visits for us to go see. The first night President Summerhays stayed with us to visit the family, which made me nervous that pres had chosen us, but it was great! After the visit, pres took us out to dinner to a restaurant I chose and we had an awesome dinner. The next day we had another member visit that went really well. Friday Elder Gibbons came and talked a lot about member work and how to get referrals from them. It ended at noon and we headed back to our respective areas. Now to put into practice what we learned. This week we have 10 member meals planned so hopefully we can get a few referrals.

That was pretty much our week. Not a whole lot to report on, just a lot of boring meetings.
