Un Bautismo - A Baptism

Elder Read says THEY HAVE HAD A BAPTISM!  Eva's husband baptised her and it was an incredible day.  The truth is that it had been a difficult week - but it was worth it!

He'll be in Castilleja de la Cuesta for another six weeks, which is what he had been praying for.  Elder Read prayed to serve in that area and then he prayed to be able to stay. So they're very excited and now they have a goal to have a baptism in this transfer. And they can!

He's received a parcel from home and is especially delighted to have received all the chocolate.  He says he's like some more Jaffa Cakes!!  His companion also says thank you as he too loves chocolate! 

Elder Read says he forgot to tell us that Elder Orr is from Thatcher in Arizona and his old school appears in various Mormon Messages - and Elder Orr too.

A number of Elder Read's friends are finishing their missions this week.  Oh Nooo! he says. He's really going to miss them.  

They are delighted now to have an investigator by the name of Richard, who is from Ecuador, and is the fiancé of the Ward Mission Leader's daughter, the Ward Mission Leader being the brother-in-law of Eva who has just been baptised.  So he has a lot of strength there and they hope to be able to baptise him this transfer - and their goal will be realised!!

So all is going very well in Castilleja de la Cuesta.

Elder Read dice:
Pues... ¡TUVIMOS UN BAUTISMO! :D Su esposo la bautizó. Fue un díe increíble :) La verdad es que tuvimos una semana difícil. ¡Pero todo vale la pena! 

Me quede 6 semanas mas aquí. La verdad es que estaba orando por tener la oportunidad para quedarme. Oré por servir aquí y oré por quedarme.  Estamos muy animados. Tenemos la meta de tener un bautismo mas este traslado. ¡Sí se puede!  

Pues, recibí el paquete! :D muchas gracias :) Especialmente por todo el chocolate! ¿Me podrían mandar mas Jaffa Cakes? MI compañero dice gracias también. les encanta jaja :P 

Se me olvidó contarle que Elder Orr es de Thatcher en Arizona. Su colegio aparece en algunos mensajes mormones y él casi también jaja :P  

Varios de mis amigos de van a casa esta semana... D: ¡¡¡¡¡NOOOOOO!!!!! :,( Les voy a echar mucho de menos. 

Estamos animados por un investigador que se llama Richard, es Ecuatoriano y es el novio de la hija del Líder Misional, quien es la cuñada de Eva quien se acaba de bautizar :) Entonces tiene mucho apoyo :) Queremos bautizarlo este traslado :) 

Todo va super bien por aca :)
