Hello!
We had a baptism on Sunday. On Wednesday (before) they got a little unsure and unstable about it and so we invited them to fast with us about being baptized. Andrei (the mom) fasted with us for 24 hours and she said it was a marvelous experience and that she knew that she needed to be baptized on Sunday. And of course, with her lead, the two kids got baptized as well. It was really a testimony to me of the power of the fast. Other than them, at the moment, our area's not too hot. We've got a couple of good investigators but no one really firm.
At the baptism the second counselor of the bishopric conducted the meeting, all in all it was a great meeting and everyone loved it. It had the largest attendance of any of the baptisms this year.
This month the mission baptized 139 which is one away from tieing the record, and two from breaking it. President Frei is really pushing for us to have a "Miraculous Christmas" and so far we have been having one.
At a members house on Saturday, we ate cow tail. Not the delicious caramel candy, but the actual meat and bones from the cow's tail. The bones look like vertebrae (which I guess it actually is, isn't it?) and there's so little meat on it, it was difficult. What little meat I did eat was delicious, but definitely not worth the work to get at it. This was the same place that I ate at and then threw up everything after I got home. Luckily that didn't happen this time.
I guess that's all the news I've got for this week. Thanks for all the emails, I love you all.
