Hello Folks!
This week was quite exciting, although now that I am thinking about it, I can't
remember all the reasons why. But hopefully something I say here will interest you.
Tuesday, we had an inspection from Sister Rodriguez, the President's wife. She
was not very pleased by the lack of cleanliness in our house, but at the end Olga
and Ernesto said some very flattering, partly true things like, "they have
baptized a lot of investigators, and 90 people are going to the temple this week."
To which Sister Rodriguez said, "they are hard workers, but very dirty."
This was a good reminder, that although we are hard workers, we need to try and work harder on the cleanliness part.
After that we had interviews with President which went a lot better. I also
got to see Elder Cohelo that day which was a joyful reunion!
This week flew by and we were excited when Saturday came because we had a baptism!
Emilene Ortuño decided to be baptized and Elder Valencia baptized her.
Her two sons were baptized a few weeks ago and she was really happy to follow their example.

Her sister, who is the Relief Society President, spoke at the baptism and it was a really great service!
We have two investigators on track for baptism this week, Mia, a nine year
old girl from the Ward, and Javier Burgos, a 16 year old boy whose friend
invited him to church a while back! So kids, invite your friends to church! It
might work! We are REALLY REALLY excited for Javier because he has been wanting
to get baptized for the past few weeks, but his dad didn't give him permission.
Well, last Sunday we decided to fast for Javier's dad so he would have a change
of heart and let Javier be baptized. Last night, we passed by their house and
talked with his dad, and he had changed his mind completely!!! I know that
Heavenly Father answered our prayers and that when we fast we become more worthy
of his amazing blessings!
I am really happy with my companion and my Ward, and also happy to be back
where I started.

I wanted to share a picture of a stellar referral we recently received that didn't have an address, but made us smile...
If anyone knows a Fatima who makes bread, please let us know where she lives.
Love you all! Have a great week!
Elder Harris
