So this
week there was a baptism here in Tanquian! Mateo got baptized and well,
before there was a rule that the missionaries couldn't baptize but for October president said that we could :) so my comp baptized him! :D And
this week we have another baptism! and I am going to get to baptize ! :) First time in my whole life! :) so cool! I will baptize Rubicel on Saturday :) Mateo is an older guy but is super great, he used to be a
carpenter but lost two of his fingers in an accident (he is almost like Stavi;) ) and Rubicel is a young guy, he's 28. It is
going to be super cool :)
In Tanquian there
aren't a whole lot of members... like there were 13 on Sunday... and 4
were investigators... but it is definitely a small little town out in the
middle of nowhere. The closest elders are an hour and a half away and
that is also a little town, they are actually the other two missionaries
in the district, the others in the zone are in a city called Valles,
like an hour away from the other elders.
This Sunday was rather
interesting, my comp and I were the speakers in sacrament, my comp gave
the second class and the guy that was presiding the meeting also blessed
the sacrament and I passed it... and my comp and I also gave the last
class, but to everyone, there wasn't any separating into classes or
anything... so it was a little different but it's great :)
That's
all I have time for right now for everyone but I love you all and will
try to say more next week about Tanquian! :) it's pretty great here :) I
love you all! BYE

PS My return date was finalized today in the morning... I will be coming home the 21st!
