Semana Santa

Hola de Guadalupe!! the biggest news of the week is that WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BAPTISM!!!!!!! Raul Ventura, who studied for five years to be a priest, is going to enter the waters of baptism, and join the true church of Jesus Christ. It will be a double baptism this Saturday, with one of the elders’ investigators who is also golden. She and Raul have known each other since high school, and at church yesterday they were planning the time and everything for their baptism haha. It has been the best to see Raul's progress since we met them in December, and for Hna Mancilla and I to be able to see him get baptized is so awesome. I didn't think I'd be grateful for all the craziness that made us not have transfers, but I can't imagine Raul's baptism without Hna Mancilla there. WE ARE SO EXCITED!! pics next week(:  

Other than that, we've found lots of new people this week, received references, and had a great week having fun together. There are so many crazy things that happen between us every day that I couldn't write half of what happens. 

This week they fumigated (is that a word?) in all the houses to try and reduce the mosquitos, but we're 150% sure that they're just more ravenous now. So we continue with heat and mosquitos. But life is good! I love being a missionary and getting to do the work of the Lord with mi loca at my side es lo maximo!!

Love you all, have a great semana santa!!

I think Anna forgot some of us don’t speak Spanish – from google translate

Mi loca – my crazy one = Hermana Mancilla

Es lo maximo – it’s the best
