So first of all Happy Easter!! And also to Big K a happy Birthday!! The big 15! Thats freaking crazy hahah!! Just do me a favor and dont kill anybody when you start driving!! So another super solid week with another baptism!! This week Alejandra got baptized and oh my gosh it was so cool!! So we met her like almost 2 months ago and holy cow she was just totally prepared!! She lives in a different area but she would always come here because her Boyfriend lives here and also her family doesn't want anything to do with the church and wouldn't allow the missionaries to come to their house but she didn't care she started to read the BOM and when we invited her to be baptized she accepted sin hesitation!! And yeah it was just really cool to see how much faith she has and how strong her testimony really is!! Also it was super cool cuz her Boyfriend (Alonso) A member of the ward was able to baptize her!! Plus because she is from a different ward we got to go to a different area for her baptism and yeah that was sick cuz now i know more of Juarez than just here in La Cuesta!! Cuz well yeah still in my first area hahah!!
As for Easter we didn;t have plans to eat with anybody but when we arrived at a house for an appointment they just gave us food and not just any food, a giant cooked fish and for those who know me i really dont like fish, Thankfully after a couple prayers i was able to put it down hahah!!! Anyways as for conference i watched it all in spanish and yeah it was super good but i think my favorite part had to be in the Priesthood session when M Russell Ballard or Russell M Nelson i cant remember which said "Returned Missionary doesn't mean Ex- Mormon" hahaha!! I thought it was so funny because it is so true! Just because we serve a mission doesnt mean we are good to go and that life is gonna be easy!! We need to work hard everyday and try everyday to become better followers of Christ and members of the church!!
As for writing letters its still not to bad but there are many times when i want to just write some words in spanish cuz i forgot the word in English but still not to terrible like big Car hahah!! Still havent received the package but life is great here and im loving the work!! I love you all and hope that your Pascua was amazing!!! hahah!!
Love Elder Imlay
