No hacemos nada!!!! 12/15/14

Hola hola everybody!! Ok I'm writing this earlier this week so that you don't sass me mom haha!! Sorry about last week! Ok this week was pretty stinking awesome but I also feel like we didn't do anything, but it's all good!! First of all on Tuesday morning we went to Mexicali and spent all day there because we had the christmas dinner and conference with the president!! We didn't get home until after 10:30 at night and we left at like 7 in the morning so literally we did nothing! But it was SO much fun!! We spent ALL day with the missionaries so I was with Hna Alba all day and it was just the funnest day ever! They gave us dinner and we watched a slidewhow of the mission. We had to do skits which was way embarrassing but it was way fun!! 
Then on Wednesday night they randomly called saying that Thursday morning I had to go to Tijuana to do my visas. So like 4 of us went to Tijuana and did nothing all day because we were traveling for like 8-9 hours there and back. I saw Hna Beaumont there and it was fun to ask her about El Dorado. THen we had intercambios the next day and finally on Saturday I was bakc in the sector to actually work.
And the best part was that we had a baptism on Saturday!!! His name is Francisco and he's awesome! The Hermanas have been teaching him for 8 months and he finally got baptized!! When I first got here he said he wanted to learn more and didn't feel ready for a baptism. We prayed for him a bunch and just tried to do anything we could. Then randomly one day we show up to teach him and he's stoked and wants to get baptized!!!!!! The pictures from this week on my camera aren't working so I'll have to get you some of the baptism hopefully next week!
Congrats Chase!!!!!! I can't believe he's going home tomorrow!! That's soooooo awesome!! Everyone is starting to go home!! And happy birthday on Wednesday for Kylie and on Sunday for Tanner!!!!!!! Love you all!! Oh and guess what......there's a member in my ward named Encarnacion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahaha it gets me everytime and I just want to burst out singing!! Good old Mexico!! Ok I don't know what other details you want mom. There's a lot of dirt here, and it feels less sketchy here than in Tijuana. We're getting there with the ward. I had to speak in church yesterday. About an hour before church the bishop called and asked me to speak because somebody backed out last minute. People gave me more compliments than usual so maybe in the future I shouldn't prepare very much haha! I don't know that's all I've got for you. There's some HUGE houses that are so nice, but then on the other side we've got some really poor people who hardely have money to buy food so we have both sides. Love yo uall so much and hope you hav an awesome week!! I'll talk to you next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I"m sure everybody has heard of the "He is the Gift" initiative!! Everybody watch it and share it with the world and introduce them to the missionaries!!!!!!!
