What An Awsome Day!

Today was awesome. We went to play soccer at the stake center right next to the temple. There were a bunch of buses in front which means that people from out of town made an excursion to the temple. I asked a little boy where he was from and which wards were there and it turned out that camacho (my ward from Poza Rica was there) First some of the youth came out and i talked to them. They told me that not many people from the ward came- that kind of bummed me out. but later i talked to some of the members i got to know from other wards and talked to the bishop of the vegas ward and my old bishop. Later some recent converts from my old area showed up- Andrea and Narda. When i was there they moved to a different ward, but had also came to do baptisms for the dead. It was fun to see eveyone and talk to them. Later while i was playing soccer a sister from Cañada yelled my name and motioned me over. i was really suprised to see her. She was my favorite hermana from that ward, Hna. Margarita- 2 of her daughters were baptized right before i got there and the other one, Ana, got baptized while i was serving there. It turns out she had just received her endowments! i was kind of flustered though- i had just talked to the elders from cañada on wednesday and they didn´t tell me anything about it! They only told me the daughters were going to do baptisms in the temple on thursday. Oh well- i´m happy for the hermana. I think we´ll drop by her house later today. Today we also had an appointment with Jonathan. He is really interested and told us he wants to be a member- we put a baptismal date with him for the 21st of Febuary! The only thing is that he really has no knowlege of religion whatsoever, so there will be a lot of teaching and learning going on in these next three weeks. I am excited.
