Hey fam!
Fun week this week - mostly because it ended with a baptism! Valentina got baptized, and it went really well. She's super excited. And she brought a friend that had listened to us a couple of times. She liked it too... but Romina couldn't make it (the friend that we've been teaching a lot). But she oddly enough did show up for the cake afterwards (pics included). It went really well... it was a combined baptism with a ward baptism and was awesome.
Oh - so turns out that I am DL again - nobody bothered to tell me - and I happen to get the district with two greenie sister missionaries. Still trying to get this house stuff finished up. There still isn't a phone contract worked out, so we don't have a phone in the new house. The other guys are willing to move today, but really it would just be them and their beds. So we are going to keep waiting for a couple of days to see if we ever get stuff from Deo. If the mission financers have known for six weeks that we are looking for a house, why did the stuff to fill the house not get ordered until Thursday? *sigh* (and yes, I just sighed).
So funny story... we are in the house Sunday doing our weekly planning wondering how the heck we are going to get more investigators and the phone rings. I answer it (because Elder Polera hates to answer the phone) and talk to this girl named Nadia - a 9 year old who went to church yesterday. She said hi, then passed me to the Primary President Sonia. Sonia explained that Nadia wants to get baptized on Saturday because she felt good in the confirmations of Valentina and Augustin, so Sonia told Nadia that she needs to be prepared before getting baptized. So now we have another baptism planned for the area, but probably in a couple of weeks. Score.
Ramos' son got his mission call to the Mendoza Argentina Mission. Ramos is super excited. Just FYI while I think of more stuff to talk about.
Thanks for the facebook links - I'll check those out in 9 months when I have permission to look at facebook! lol out loud. Oh, and the Prius. Elder Polera wanted to date Tina when he gets back, but if she is sporting a RED Toyota PRIUS (those are the two words he emphasized) he won't even consider it. Look up "Jeff Dunham Prius" on YouTube and you'll see why.
Pictures -

the other one is the three girls afterwards - Melani, Romina, and Valentina (L > R).
Romina is so awesome - she said that she prayed to see if God wants her to be baptized as a mormon, and she got an answer that was yes. She thought she made it up, so she prayed again! So funny!
Well, love you guys.
Oh - just to get you guys more trunky -this is a video for Nanny - one alfajor-candle for every 10 years. Video of your dear Elder Thorderson! Try not to cry mom... 9 more months. lol
