Guess who got baptized on Sunday! Ariel Zelaya! The baptism was great! He asked me to baptize him so that was neat. I messed up on the prayer the first time and had to do it again. They had a lot of family show up for the baptism. After the baptism we had food and drinks and then we went to the Figeroa family for dinner.
Nothing real big happened last week. Wait, we did have my last zone conference. Every missionary at their last zone conference gives their departing testimonies at the end. Well we apparently didn't plan for ZC to last as long as it did and planned a lesson at 3:30 so we had to bail out early and I didn't give my farewell testimony.
We found an inactive family last week. We had no idea they lived here but a member family told us about them. The very first thing they told us is, "We don't want to come back to church." We told them that we weren't there to drag them to church but to help them in any way they needed. They thanked us and sent us on our way. Half way to the car they offered us some water, so they at least called us back. The other day we made them cookies and dropped them off and invited the kids to come play basketball on Wednesdays and to mutual. I hope they'll have the desire to go. I guess they are inactive because when they lived in Maryland they changed wards and the new ward didn't know they were there so no one was there waiting with open arms and that offended the family so they decided never to go back to church. That was 8 years ago. Hopefully the Lord will soften their hearts and they will come back.. I think that is all my news and big stories for today. Love you!
