Week 80 and 81

Christmas and New years! We spent both days with the members and they were super nice to us. They invited us to their family dinner and everything. They were both barbeques. For new years, we went to the house of the other missionaries, and we were able to see the fireworks from their apartment! It was a good firework show, just like in the states, and it was pretty fun to watch.

We also got to talk with our families for skype, which was awesome!

This week, we had the baptism of Maximiliano and Sofia. They are the kids of less active members who have been getting reactivated in the church and are now able to baptize their kids because they`re active now. They are 9 and 11 years old.

No one in the whole ward of 140 active members can play piano, so i`ve been the pianist these past weeks for the baptism, for the christmas party, and sundays. I can only play the right hand, because i mess up too much playing with both hands, but the members are happy that there is finally a pianist in the ward, because they haven`t had an elder who could play the piano for like 2 years!

We are teaching a lot of people here, so that`s pretty cool. I think we`ll have a couple more baptisms in 3 or 4 weeks here because the ward helps a lot and the people are great.

thanks for everything!
