Pura Vida

This week was pretty dang good. We had Pedro's baptism and confirmation this weekend, Elder Portillo baptized him and I got to confirm him. It was ward conference so the Stake Presidency was there just to make it all more nerve racking for me. Pedro is awesome I just hope he follows his testimony. He bore it after the baptism and said that "at first I didnt really care or even want them to come to my house, I just did it to please my girlfriend. But then when they started to explain it to me and when I prayed I knew and felt what they were teaching was true" Oh man it was so cool. Right now we are starting to teach his brother and sister. His little brother is 18 and he has ear and tongue piercings but wants to get baptized. Haha. We still have a few people who wanted to get baptized a while ago, but are just too weak to fix their problems. We´ll see waht happens We got like 6 good references too this week and we are hoping that they will play out well. Changes will be like at the first of March. I dont know if Ill be leaving. I will have 7 months in this area by that time. There isnt much more that happened this week. We did get a ward mission leader, after 6 months of being here. I hope that he can help us out a little bit. I'm doing well.
