First baptism

We had a Elder De Hoya, of the 70 come in and talk to us, him and his wife and pres Call and wife. It was mostly in spanish, the quourom of 70 is spanish and Hna. Call did her best to hablar la idioma. it was fun. There´s 3 of us from my mtc district in our zone, Elder Willmore, Elder Cook, and I so i got to see them. Elder Cook is in our District so I talk to him at least once a week at meetings.
Ya, we finally had our baptisms on Tuesday and they were confirmed yesterday. I baptized an 11 yr old boy Claudio Aldair Charles Lara and my compa baptized the prima que tiene 9 anos... it was great haha I wish you all could have seen it... I kind of thrusted him with the left hand and then had to scoop him out and dang near baptized myself in the process!! It was great. His name was almost harder to remember than the baptismal prayer and is almost the same amount of words. The two kids live with their grandma and she decided a little while ago she wanted them baptized so got a hold of the missionaries who were before us in the area and they started teaching and we got to reap the harvest... We have 4 fechas for the oct. 9. 3 from our first family we found and taught the first day we arrived and 1 other we´ve taught a few times.
When you serve a mission you end up meeting all kinds of people, one really old lady we´ve taught told us when we taught the first lesson that she remembers what happened to the apostles of Jesus... That those bad people that drive around shot every last one of the Apostles after la muerte de Jesucristo.. Another visit she told us she believes everything we say.. She´s about to the point were she´s losing it, poor Maria de Jesus....We taught a normal guy and a 92 yr old guy a few weeks ago, it was hillarious. we would teach and the old guy would ramble off something the whole time, like ´"cuando tenía 40 anos, tuvé un maestro...me enseñó cada cosa sobre Jesucristo´"....Alright Paco,....Great insights haha
idk, we got to do something about transportation, it costs too much money.. you could ship me my truck with the next package , it would be great help down here!!!

From Tuesday to i think Saturday Elder Cook and I are going to be comps cuz his comp and mine are going to Tampico for something haahah a two gringos that have 3 or 4 weeks in the field toghether!!! its going to be fun.. fun to see how it works out and to be comps again for a few days hahaha we have alot of citas for those days in my area tooo haha How is Tucker, and Austin and Chase and whoever else. Maybe you could get me the email of Tucker since he´s my family idk thanks for the love, bye
