This week we had a baptism that went really well! Her name is Lucina De Jesus Moreno. She already seems like she has been a member her whole life! While at her confirmation she had family show up that were members and it ends up that my district leader was in the area of where her family lives! I had the chance to confirm her a member of the church and it was pretty nerve racking cause I had to giver her a blessing in front of the entire ward! It went pretty well though.

Today we went to Teotihuacan for my companions birthday! We got there at about 10:30 and left around 2:30. It was a really fun time. The first pyramid that we climbed was el sol, the biggest.

When we got to the top there was a dog that was sleeping at the very top in the very center. We kept trying to get it to move but it wouldn't do anything. We kept making jokes like it was a sacrifice or something haha. I got a picture laying next to it! I also found a pretty cool knife and a chess set made out of rocks that I bought.

During the week we found a couple families that are going to progress really well. We didn't have time to teach one of them the first time we met but we left her a restoration pamphlet and when we came back, she read the whole thing! That is like the first time that this has happened. She is really interested in our church and told us that it has always caught her eye. We were also able to get another less active to the church. She got baptized like 8 years ago and stopped going and didn't really get taught very good. We are teaching her family all the lessons and hopefully we will be able to baptize her daughter! It was a pretty good week overall!
Hope everyone has a great week!
