Capítulo 93- Thursday we had the baptisms of Marylin and Allison!

Wow... This week was SOO busy. On Tuesday we were doing baptismal interviews, on wednesday we went to Tegus and received a training or a lesson or a talk, or however that's called in english, from Elder Uceda (Area President) with all the leaders in the mission. Then On Thursday we had the baptisms of Marylin and Allison! On Friday we went back to Tegus but this time with the whole mission to receive more training from Elder Uceda. Then on Saturday, there were parades and a whole bunch of parties going on because the 15th of September is independence day here. then on Sunday we had Stake Conference.

  It was a pretty busy week to say that least. The meeting on Wednesday was really cool. supposedly whats happening is our mission was selected out of all the missions in central america to receive a tour by the area presidency. What they told us is that we have been increasing rapidly in our success and results and they wanted to see what we were doing. President Chase was really happy with us haha.

  It's not normal to have baptisms on a Thursday, but we had to move the baptisms because on Saturday we had stake conference. We would have normally just moved the baptisms to Friday, but on Friday we had to go to Tegus again, so we decided that Thursday was the best option. The baptisms turned out great! So many members showed up, and we even sang a special musical number. 

  On Friday, the training was basically the same training that we received on Tuesday, with a few adjustments after asking us a few questions about the difficulties that we have in the mission on Tuesday. The really cool part about this guy is that he's a very direct person. Elder Uceda doesn't like beating around the bush. And that's what we needed. Someone who is direct and gets to the point.

  Stake conference was also really cool. I just started freaking out when I saw a message from president Chase where I thought he was asking me to get up in front and translate Hermana Chase's talk. After reading the text again he just wanted me to translate HIS talk to Hermana Chase. It was still  a little awkward getting up in front of everyone at stake conference, but I always like translating, it's pretty fun, and it's good practice.
