Hey y'all, wow what a week its been. Well I'm attaching a few pictures. The first two are from the baptism. The baptism was awesome!! There was a little bit of confusion with the talks and somehow Cristina's Aunt thought she was supposed to be talking on repentance, so Elder Nielsen ended up speaking on the Holy Ghost. He did a good job. It turned out really great. I've been waiting my whole mission for this day, to baptize someone in Spanish. And it was everything I thought it would be and more lol that's way cheesy but its true. Also this week we set a baptismal date with Ovidio Reyes. He's that guy who called us in the hospital and wanted us to come give him a blessing. We set a date for the 23rd of May. There is also a child of a part member family who we are teaching that will be getting baptized that same day. Its a child of record so it doesn't count for us but its still way exciting. Oh and supposedly the branch president's brother is supposed to be moving here from Italy next month and his son who just turned nine has been taking the lesson's from the missionaries over there and wants to get baptized here in San Angelo. So that's a huge blessing. The Lord is blessing us a ton right now. Well the weather has been kinda crazy here lately. There was a huge storm last night. I woke up at about 4:30 this morning, it was raining so hard and the thunder and lighting were crazy!! Elder Nielsen woke up too and neither of us could fall back to sleep. So at about 5:30 this morning I went outside and saw the water flowing down the street like a river. It was crazy!! Well to say the least, Elder Nielsen and I decided to go for a little swim haha it was a good time. Transfers are coming up next week and I've been trying to get an inside scoop from Elder Tripp(AP) but i haven't been able to get anything out of him yet. Elder Nielsen has been here for six months and he's pretty set on leaving. There are five new Spanish missionaries coming out next transfer. We'll see what happens. Well the work is progressing, the weather is crazy and the church is true. I love being out here and serving the Lord. It's the best time of my life. I love y'all. Thanks for all the love and support. I love hearing from y'all and I pray for y'all daily. Have a great week.
