Las Aguas Del Bautismo

This week was AMAZING. 

The quarantine doesn't stop the work. A lot has changed here at the house. We are getting a lot of new missionaries and things are just crazy. 

Wednesday, we had Maria's baptism. Not going to lie, it was so stressful. I met Maria and the Mata Family my second day here in Miami Lakes back in January. I have been able to teach Maria all the way to her Baptism, which is so cool. She is amazing and we are part of her family.  Like she makes us food, we go pick it up from her, and it's so cute. Maria was also born the same year as my Mom so that's cool. (Photos below to show the baptism). 

Speaking of Maria and her being like my Mom, it was Mother's Day yesterday. We sang primary songs to Maria over the phone about Mother's Day and it was so cute. She said we could make an album. Ohh, and HUGE shout out to my mom. She's the best. 

We have gotten 3 new missionaries in the apartment. One of them was reasighned here after he came home from Brazil. Another one is a missionary who has been here and he is training a brand new missionary from the home MTC.  It is super fun.
 
That's about all the news. I am loving it here and thriving. The Ward still feeds us super good. Elder Alvarado and I "fight" all the time because we are both so dramatic, and because sometimes he hits me where I got sunburned, but I still love him.
