More baptisms!





Well...we had three more baptisms this week! 3 jovenes! Olvin, Ronal, and Juan David. They were so excited to get baptized. Juan David is 10 and he was going to get batptized two weeks ago, but his dad wasn't ready to baptize him. We decided to wait a week and it all turned out great. Olvin is 15. His brother Mario got baptized about two months ago. He's super pilas. He answers all the questions we ask and has memorized 4 scripture masteries. Ronal was an antiguo investigator. He was taught all the lessons about 3 months ago. He moved pretty far away and then just moved back last week. We just picked him up and reminded him of everything. Ronal almost didn't get baptized! We gave him his clothes in the church to go and change, then he left outside and didn't come back for a while. We went out to check on him and he said that he was too nervous and he didn't want to get baptized anymore! We started freaking out a little inside and talked to him about it. In the end we said that if he really didn't want to get baptized, it was fine. We didn't want to force him to do anything. But when he saw Olvin dressed in white, he wanted to do it. That day, the three of them were baptized and on Sunday they were confirmed. It was an amazing experience.

Well mom. My apartment is pretty trashy right? There's just a bunch of scorpions. That's the worst part. The AC does work, but it's so expensive to run! We only use it for an hour a day. We were going to clean it today, but we stayed in San Marcos de Colon too long. 


This Wednesday we have Zone Conference with Elder Alonzo and I will be conducting the meeting! I'm not going to lie, I'm nervous. I've only conducted the sacrament meeting in Langue and that day 15 people showed up. haha  But I'm also excited for the opportunity. 

Mom, you asked about the ward building we attend. It's bigger here because it's a stake center. We have a basketball court inside. But we haven't even played yet. 

Well, I love you all so much. Thank you for everything!! :)

Love, Elder Carter
