well. had a reeeaaallyy good week. last monday we ended up going back to the beach. and it was COMPLETELY empty. so we had the whole place to ourselves. super nice.

the week and the work was good. elder godoy (a seventy) came to the mision and did a conference. it went sooooo well. i loved everything he talked about. he helped us each through a "personal counsil" it was great. soooo many things we can always be improving on. dawson got a few packages from his family too! one was filled with peanut butter and chocolate... i may have mooched some. haha

the day of the baptism was a hectic one. our District leader lost the baptismal font keys. so we were thinking we might have to just go baptize her in the ocean.. Dawson really wanted to.. but luckily i have illegal skills from the government and got the door open with a kitchen knife. hahaha

it turned out great though. Marly is kind of a shy girl and told us she didnt want a big crowd.. but the whole ward was invited. she got her wish though and only about 8 people showed up. it was a nice little service. Dawsons first baptism.

i was super happy.

Marlys mom this week gave us a few good laughs this week, we were filling out the paperwork and asked for her birthday and she said march 1st.. then marly said "No its feb 28".. s we got confused then they told us it was actually feb 29th but that they put on her birth certificate March 1st... then we asked what year and she said 1961.... then i realized that cant be true if she was born on leap day. so i asked if she was sure and she said "i dont know. on the birth certificate it says 1961. but im not sure if they put it back a year or forward a year"........... SHE DIDNT KNOW WHAT YEAR SHE WAS BORN!!!! hahahahaha we figured it out for her. 1960 was a leap year. 

but yeah, that was our week. loved it. and love the gospel. miss you guys!
