Today was good, we finally found one of the inactive
families we were looking for and they're really awesome people. So we'll keep
working with them, the dad was Elder's Quorum President, and the mom was a
counselor in the Young Women's organization. They are actually references from
a contact we made from Wednesday, so that was cool. The directions to get to
their house weren't very good, so we spent a good 20-30 minutes trying to find
them, but we did, finally, so everyone was happy about that.

Our Zone Leaders had a baptism
today, so that was exciting. I got to give a surprise talk about baptism (not
a big deal, we talk about that all the time. Actually, most of the things we
give talks about we talk about all the time. That sentence made a ton of sense.
Sorry.) Apparently everyone forgot to bring towels, so Hna Rosas and I had to go solutionize that problem, and we were successful in the
end. The Ward Mission Leader told us an hour before the service that he
couldn't come, as he was working. And the sister that was supposed to talk
about the Holy Ghost fell asleep at home and woke up just a few minutes before
the service was supposed to start, so a recently returned missionary gave that
talk with about 15 minute's notice. Poor Elder Roldan was stressed out of his
mind. But, everything went surprisingly quite smoothly, actually, and the lady
was baptized. There's always, always, always opposition on a baptism day.
Always. Drives me crazy.

On Saturdays we have dinner at the house of Hna Betty, who
is wonderful, and she has a pet dog named Oso (Bear) that is a "special".
It's a little fluff-ball sort of dog, with pointy ears, and honey-colored fur
that sticks straight out. He has brown eyes that look a little bit too alert,
but go cross-eyed sometimes, and his tongue is always sticking out the side of
his mouth. Walks kinda funny, and likes to follow you around. Really sweet dog,
though, haven't heard him bark or growl or anything. Just kinda trots around
the house, living his dog life.
So yeah. Gotta get my talk finished up for tomorrow in
Church, I'm speaking with Elder Pocock, and our Ward Mission Leader. And we
might possibly give the Gospel Principles class if he isn't able to stay. Ha
saber.
