Baptism for Dixza

Hola,

How is everyone doing? Things are alright here in Honduras. It rained a lot again for a few days so all the streets are muddy. We ended up having a baptism this week.  Her name is Dixza. She is in Hermanas Doras family - she´s about 11.  She has a really cool afro. We’re working with the mom and other daughter still. This is the family with the crazy dad that´s a member but is always drunk but he´s doing better.  They need to get married so we´ll see when that happens. I went on divisions again this week.  I went with Elder Cornia.  He´s from Randolph up by Bear Lake. He only has one change more than me. I´m pretty sure we had some extra help because for the most part we understood what was going on and we taught a lot of lessons.  We taught a lot of lesson 3’s because that one is the easiest, but it was a cool experience.  I was in his area which is La Lima so it was nice to have a little change.  I talk more about it in the recordings.  Mom, I got my garments package so thanks for that. We already ate all of the food.  I also got a lot of letters from Lizzy. I did get Tyler’s wedding card, and a christmas card from grandma and grandpa. We had 6 investigators come to church this week.  I think we´ll be able to baptize one of them this week.  The other one that we were planning on baptising didn´t come so that´s a little frustrating.  But we got to church early and we weren´t doing anything so I told Elder Galán that we should go contact so we just went in front of the church and invited everyone that walked by and one of them ended up coming and he stayed the entire meeting.  We’re going to go over there tonight so hopfully he really liked it and felt the spirit.  Then we have one more that is close to being baptized but she just doesn´t think she is ready.  Hermana Carla -  both of her kids are members and we reactivated one and the other one sort of.  She doesn´t understand that you have to have the proper authority to baptize and we´ve taught about that concept 5 times but in time she´ll be baptized.  She taught us how to make tortillas so I’ll send a picture of that.  Then we chopped hermanas Margaritas yard.  She´s the one that will probably get baptized this week.  Then the other pictures are of the baptism with Dixza.
Thanks for everything.  I love you all!!!!!!!!
