Baptism of Eliza

I shall try to attempt to write short, to the point and effectively of all important occurances of this last week.

1) Baptism of Eliza. It was great....poor lady had the hardest time getting in and out of the pool, but she did it! She did a great job and she said she felt so relieved to get baptized because she had been wanting to for a long time. She always complains, that when you are a little kid, you dont have sins...so she loved getting baptized and she loved the book of mormon. She might look super old in her picture...but she is actually super active and super funny. Grandma Etelvina thing....she wanted to have a dance after the baptism. it was hilarious. Love that lady.

At Zone Leader Conference with Elder Gonzalez

2) Zona San Rafael. lots of thigns are changing. I finally feel that i am getting a hold of things in San rafael. I love being Senior Zone leader of a zone. I finally feel like things are getting better, and I don´t even want to think of what it will have to be like to stop being a missionary. anyways....we had a great meeting with the zone this morning and i have been using this new idea i came up with of every investigator has a calendar....and that the missioanries have to plan everything with the details of how they are going to baptize every person they want to in agosto. i am pumped. and also...last week only two areas had people at church...out of nine. but this week we got 8 out of nine....thats incredible! i love seeing the fruits of my work and especially when i can feel the trust of the Lord in the work. Everyone left the meeting this morning, rather excited. I think President is coming down to work with us this week....a little intimidating but i am excited! hahaha. Things are getting better in San Rafael.
