Fecha Bautismal‏ (email dated 7/6/2009)

Well another week has flown by like usual and here it is P-day and i'm looking back to try and remember everything that happened. This last week we had a way sweet p-day that they do once every year i believe. It was what we like to call out here in the mission field a supper P-day. So your probably asking yourself right now what is included in a super P-day, so let me tell you what is. First off we cut our studies a little bit short and all headed to a place in Vega Baja with the entire mission. So then while we were all at this place called Tortuga, which is basicly a huge park, we all just played a bunch of games like with everyone. We had some games of basketball going on, some soccer games going on, some volley ball, some dominos, and even Ping Pong.... Yup your thinking right you found me at the Ping Pong table doing the same thing i used to do to Mark at home in our games of ping pong.... that means whipping up on people... hahah but seriously... Oh yeah, and Elder Wells and I ( He's going home this august to play baseball at BYU) played a little catch. Then i hit him some pop fly's to get hime some practice in before he gets back this 18th of August. That was pretty fun to get the ball going around again. The good news is that i haven't forget everything about how to play ball... I can still catch :)

As for the work now, we had a good experience this week with Carlos. We were able to set a baptisimal date up with him for this 18th of july! He was a little timid at first because he actualy wanted to put the date back a little bit so he could have some drinks at his birthday party this 24th of July. When he told us the reason why he wanted to move his fecha back we were a little worried but luckly we were able to help him realize that what is important is making God happy with obeying his commandments. So with a nice talk about why God has revealed the Word of Wisdom to us and how it will be a blessing for Carlos and not a hinderance he excepted the date of July 18th to enter the water of baptisim. We still have a little ways to go with him but i'm pretty sure that he's going to make the goal of baptisim! We're really excited too to be able to have a good baptisim for this Transfer!

So those are the highlights for this week and until next time take it easy, but not to easy...
Much Love,
Elder Lopez
