Esevan Bassaga, Jr. baptized by Esevan Bassaga, Sr.

Hola there!


Yesterday we had the baptism of Esevan Bassaga, Jr. His dad did the
baptism for him (his dad has been menos activo the last few yrs but
now is doing gr8). His dad received the priesthood so he could bapt his
son right after church, then he ordained his son a deacon. It was sweet!
We were going to have 4 in total yesterday baptisms, but the oldest
daughter of Patrcia got kinda scared and didn't want to come to church.
So Patricia and the rest of her fam went to church. Then comp went on
splits with the other elders and went to the house of hers with the mom
and a member with a car to try to help her and stuff, but she didn't
feel quite ready yet. The mom didn't want to get baptized without her
kids. No doubt they'll get baptized soon. The mom wants to so bad. She is
gr8. The bishop said a quote that I liked bout her. He said that she could
easily be a Relief Society Pres some day. So we're goin to talk
tomorrow bout when we are goin to have the baptism. Maybe this Saturday,
between conference or the 8th or 7th. But hey, the sun shines every day! No
woorries that she'll be baptized! It's all good!

Also yesterday, the family that lives below us attended church.
They're an awesome family and  we always see them and I've always wanted
to talk to them, like teach them, etc. So we finally did last Monday
night. And 6 of them attended. 4 can get baptized cuz of their age. It'll
be 5 baptisms after 29th of March cuz the girl turns 8 and we're goin to have a
lil family nite with them tonight. Comp made a lil cake thing for her.
The gma of the mom is a member and she knows some bout the church. They
aren't married. The dad its pretty cool. He is from the same neighborhood
as the sooccer player Messi and they were on the same club team. So
that was a cool fact that he knows Messi (or did better said).
Monica has been hard to find lately. I think she's been sick the last few days.

Sent Alyssa a bday card today feliz cumple.

The weather has been getting colder. It's like early October weather haha.
But the good thing is that it doesn't snow. I got the lil invitation from
Elena the other day and a lil postcard from gam Merlyn! Muchas gracias!
Wahhoo! She's going too get baptized. I was baptized 8 of April, almost the
7th.

CONFERNCE wahooo! I'm so xited for it! It always is gr8! We will be
watching conf in Centro. Wahoo Centro! We have it 1 to 3, then 5 to 7 both
days. Then priesthood is at 9 to 11at night, but we attend in the morning
on Sunday to watch it like 10 to 12. Ugh I'm so xited! I love reading the
Ensigns Lihona magazines and really love learning from the latter day
prophets. Is it Saturday yet?

Wahoo Final 4! In the rivalry game, UK v Louis, I pick UK. Then Kansas
69-73. Jazz v Hawks - 4 ots. Haha, that would've ended like the
time I wake up each morning lol.

Anywaysss, we'll be passin by Catriel more this week. The leaf colors?
hmm they might change. I'll pay better attention haha. Yeah Sub! Getting her
cast off. The advice I'd give. 1st thing u do is go run a mile as fast as
u can. I heard that helps hahaha chiste.

All my clothes are in good shape. I'm glad I already went thru a winter
for the experience. We need to figure out how our lil heater works lol.
But it's not thaaat cold yet.

Pres sent us a good job letter thing on baptisms so far this month. We
have like 106 as a mish and in the last 16 yrs in the months it hasn't
been this high.

Haha yesterday after the bapt, we were all laughin at me trying to say
this really hard tongue twister word hahaha. It was gr8! it's
Otorrinonaringologo. Yep that is a word in espñ. It means a nose and
throat Dr. haha They were like, "Say it again, say it again!"  I was like,
"Otoringolingolingoglo." hahaha Funny people! That'd make a gr8 middle name.

It's the last week of the transfer and we're going to tear it up!
