Baptism Week (email dated 7/13/2009)

Well this past week was good week and a crucial week to help get things set up for at least one baptisim this saturday. Unfortunately i think its only going to be one because Carlos called us up like one hour ago and said he wasn't going to be baptized this week because he doesnt feel worthy to be baptized yet. When he told me on the phone he felt really bad but i told him that we would be coming over as soon as possible to see him and talk about it. so all that is up to date news. But for sure there will be a baptisim this week with a young lady named Liar Perez who is 18 years old. She was a reference from a member in Levitown and is all ready to be baptized. We basicly just have to go over the lessons with her as a review because she's been going to church over in Levitown for like 2 years but lives here in our area. She just turned 18 and now her parents are going to let here make her own choice and be baptized. The couple of times we had to teach her already have gone great and she is definately ready to be baptized. She's basicly what we like to call a dry member. The only challenge we're going to have with her is keeping her coming here to Toa Baja because she lives in our ward. She came to church with us yesterday and liked it a lot so think that she'll be good here. So we are going to have at least one baptisim this saturday. As for Carlos he'll be waiting for another day. He's been struggling to make the decission because still he has some problems with some of the commandments that are big like the law of Chastity which is a little wierd in his specific situation... ha i'm just going to leave it at that to be honest. He'll be able to over come it though i believe and be baptised if not this month the month thats coming.

To be honest everything is going great here in Toa Baja but right now my comp Elder Parodi doesnt feel to good so were going to a Doctor today to see whats up. He's been having a really bad head ach so were going to see what we can do for him with that.But now worries all will be good i think.
Well thats the update for now , and right now its time to close up because our appointment with the doctor is in a little bit so until next week much love!

Thanks for the prayers
Love,
Elder Lopez
