The Argentina Adventure: Yamila's Baptism!

Yamila's Baptism!

The whole family Serra.

Yamila and her mom.

First off, here in Argentina everyone is going crazy in the streets with the world cup! People are just in the streets screaming or honking their horns. It´s actually pretty awesome! But we aren´t going to let it affect our work.

So we had a Yamila´s baptism this Saturday. It was so amazing, really, she´s just the best girl ever. She is always so willing to go to church and participate even though she is the only one in her family. Her whole family was baptized, but for a lot of different reasons, they are not attending. The was the best part of the whole baptism.

We had planned everything in advance so that it would be smooth sailing before the baptism at 6:00. At 5:30 we got a lot of calls saying that people couldn´t give their talks or lead the music. To make a long story short, the missionaries ended up doing everything, prayers, talks, and leading the music. We were worried, too, that Yamila wouldn´t get there, but she showed up with her family! Her whole family! It was absolutely wonderful. My favorite part about being a missionary is seeing others see and recognize when they are feeling something. Lorena, Yamila´s mom, really didn´t want too much with the church, but she went and she felt the spirit so strongly! Yamila was really nervous, but she got in the water and her mom felt it. I really wasn´t watching Yamila as much as I was watching her family. They started crying and absolutely felt something so special! The next day Lorena was at church and the confirmation was so beautiful! Seriously!

I have so much to write, but never any time. Sorry!

Just know that we are safe and having fun! The mission is the best!

I love you all!
