Hey! This week was awesome. I have been on my mission for 8
months. I think it's felt about that long to be honest.
To start off, diomed (Dewey) was baptized! That was awesome. He's only 10 but he understands so much about the gospel! His family was so supportive and the service was great. We also found some really cool people. Jessica and her 4 kids came to church. Hopefully If things go well she will be getting baptized on the 9th of March. We also set some baptismal dates with a guy named Jacob and his girlfriend raelynn. They are planning on getting married this week or the next so they can be baptized on the 9th also. We didn't even find them, a member called us and told us her son wanted to be baptized. Well, that son was Jacob. He's pretty motivated and really liked church so we'll see what happens :) Straight blessing (we literally did nothing) ! After meeting with us he told us about his girlfriend and how she wants to do it too and they're trying to be better for their kids. I can't remember if I talked about Jerry last week but Jerry is another guy we're teaching. He has 6 kids and has been reading the Book of Mormon. I really feel like he feels something different with the message that we carry and he said that he wants this for his whole family. His wife (girlfriend) told us she wants to listen too. We extended a baptismal date and he wanted to do it but they're not married yet so that will have to happen first. Yesterday my comp and I were fed three different times by members - One of them being unexpectedly. Talk about feeling horrible about yourself. They don't mess around down here with food! This is the last week of the transfer here in Harlingen. We'll see what happens, I honestly hope I stay here but with the mission you just never know what God is going to throw at you. Love you guys so much!
