Hey Guys!!
I've got good news and bad news! The good news is that
Gustavo got baptized!! He gave a really great testimony afterwards
saying that he had been unfair to a certain missionary but that he was
glad he had made this decision for himself, even though his family
didn't come or approve (don't worry he's 18!). I really think that he'll
flourish in the Church and stay active because he's really there
because he wants to be, and no other reason.
Christmas
we went out and gave videos to inactive families and taught a couple of
lessons. We were supposed to give out 4, so we did 9, haha. It was a
little hectic since we did it in between calls to the family, but it
worked out! We got a family that was planning on putting off their
wedding until February 14th
when it was free to agree to get married next week, and have the
husband committed to not drink anymore. He's really been applying what
we said about studying and praying to overcome addiction. We're hoping
to baptize him the 11th for the day that every missionary in the mission
is supposed to baptize.
Sunday
mornings are always a little bit rough because all of the people we
think are going to come or are progressing cancel or have work or don't
show up. That's where the bad news is. Nestor, a great investigator, had
to fill in for a commitment for his grandma last minute and couldn't go
to church, even though he had a baptismal date set for the afternoon.
He goes back to school on the 5th though, so if he got baptized here
when he has enough assistances [attendances] in the chapel, he couldn't get confirmed.
As such, he's going to have to get baptized when he goes back to school
in Mexico. It may be for the best, but it still is kind of upsetting
for us. We're going to keep in touch with him though!!

I was glad to talk to you guys too! It's weird how same
everything is there. Anyway, hope you have a great week! I've got to
find some people to baptize!
