HAPPY MOTHER`S DAY!!!!
This past week was very very eventful. We had a lot of things going on. I basically just tried to keep up this week.
On Thursday, we had our weekly ward activity. This week was our responsibility to plan the activity, so we planned a big competition of "Minute to Win it Games". We did a bottle thing, rely race, and opening a bar of chocolate with a knife in the mouth. It went really well and everyone was super excited and involved.
On Friday, we had splits with the assistants. I got to spend the day with Elder E from California. We had a good time working together, but I will be honest that at the end of the day I was missing my companion Elder S .
On Saturday, we had the baptism of Y (the young women that we had been teaching). We had a super big baptism for her. Almost the whole ward showed up to support her and the had a huge reception. Y ´s family came too to watch and it was a very spiritual event. I was super happy.
On Sunday of Mother´s Day, we had church with the special Primary musical number. They sang a song I had never heard before in the US, but it has two parts. One part for the kids and another for the Moms to sing in response. It was asked to play the piano. It ended up going really well. For lunch, we had a super big BBQ at a non-member´s house. We were surprised that when we arrived, she had a band at her house with a small group of friend all smoking and drinking. We thought this situation was going to go badly, but it didn't. We ate and talked with everyone and we got a couple references. Go team!!
It was a super great week and it was super cool to Skype the family. It helped kill a little bit of missing home. Oh and included below is a special photo for my most amazing Mother. I love you lots, Mom and miss you.
