Baptism!!!

Buenas Tardes!!
So, the Baptism went really well! They were both very happy and Rebecca had a really neat experience. One of our favorite parts of the service was when their son Frankie said “Wow, now all the bad stuff is gone!”, after Rebecca got baptized. It was cute, she loved it because he understood! I gave the talk and we had all the little primary kids sing "When I am Baptized" It was super cute. They were also confirmed on Sunday, and so we are very happy to see them as members and help them get to the temple!
We did splits this weekend with two 18 year old girls in the English wards. It went pretty well, we really wore Chandler out, but she got to see a lot of aspects of missionary work! We did some studies with them, and helped show them how to plan. We had fun getting to know more people- and we were able to show them that talking to everyone helps us teach more people! We were walking around in a trailer park talking to people outside, and a man was outside of his house so we just went up and started talking to him, he let us sit on his porch and teach him a lesson. We were able to challenge him to take another step towards Christ by saying prayers more often and coming to church.
We spent some time doing service on Halloween, and seeing lots of little kids dressed up at the library. Super cute! We stopped by  a recent converts home to see them and eat some food from their party they were having. We were able to meet some nice people so it was fun!
So we had some good times laughing with the members this week, we went tot he bakery to do service and they were all super tired, so we spent time trying to understand what they were saying to us, and then they started laughing at our Spanish a bit....we got two members practically on the floor dying of laughter, which meant we were dying to because they were laughing so hard. They said we helped them to De-stress...haha If anything we fulfilled our purpose by making people happier, even if it was at our own expense.
We have made some good plans to help members move forward with mormon.org profiles. it will be a fun week!
We are trying to find more people to teach, we discovered two new trailer parks (well new to us) this week and an apartment complex. We look forward to finding out where the Lord wants us to go!
Things are going well, glad to hear everything is going well back home, and in New York! We are really focusing how to remember that we are truly called her as servant of the Lord. He is in every aspect of the work and if we remember him more, we are closer to him and the spirit and we can help so many more people. The CES fireside was super good last night. How are we going to move ourselves into action?? A lot of times distractions, opposition binds us down, but if we have enough will power and ask for the strength of the Lord we can become "unbound" and see miracles happen, and lives change, including our own.
I love you all!
Make it a great week!!
