Hello Everyone!

  

 So I need to start out by saying I’m sorry. I´m sorry for not writing faithfully every  week- to be honest, I’m just getting lazy! My life here seems so normal and I don’t know what else to say.  Let me think about what happened this week.

We had a baptism this week! It was really nice to help someone feel the happiness of helping someone feel clean again and become a member of the church. It was pretty funny because I made the program for the baptism all cute and girly, and when the Branch President was giving his message he said `I know for sure that what happened today was recorded in heaven. That this program is also recorded in heaven, well, maybe not in this ugly handwriting, but they wrote the general idea!` Ha ha, he is pretty funny. I´ve got some pretty funny stories to share when I get home! 

 We are working with the youth here to get a lot of referrals. This week we had a fun activity with them and played games and ate cake. They invited friends and we had some good success. But I have to admit that the best part was the clean-up, after all of them had left, because it was quiet! They are some noisy teenagers, that´s for sure! I guess I’m getting older!

 This week is the celebration of Saint Mary. They have a huge mass in the town center every night, then afterwards everyone sits around drinking or listening to music. They also have a fair going on too, with all of those creakily rides that look so fun!

The other night we set up a table with church stuff and sat with the elders making contacts. We didn’t have much success actually because I think everyone was embarrassed to talk to us as the catholic mass was going on.  O well- we talk of Christ and so do they! That´s what matters. 

 Well have a wonderful week everyone!

 Love, 

Sister Gordon
