Maria Fernanda's baptism

(Elder Larson and Elder Ledeno. Elder Ledeno is from Ecuador)

This week was the baptism for Maria Fernanda.

We've been teaching her for 8-10 weeks. She was ready for this gospel and we just needed to find her, which we did. She got everything we taught her but the only problem was that she is 16 and needed to get permission from her mom that lives in Texas. With that and a lot of problems with her family here in Magnolia it was a long process. But she knew it was true and she has made a lot of friends. She goes to all the activities. She went to 2-3 activities before attending church for the first time. This Saturday I believe she is going to the temple with the youth. I'm glad we found her and that she is doing the things she needs to do in her life. She doesn't have any family support but she has made a lot of friends in the church and I hope that will help out. She is the type of person we are looking for here. I'm happy for her.

Saturday it rained A LOT for a good 2- 2 1/2 hours. At the time we were with our leader misional and right now he's selling basically french fries on a corner by his house. So he had a big tarp and we waited out the rain with him and ate some fries and sang a few hymns at the top of our lungs. It was pretty fun. That was fun.
