Baptism Talk

hey family,
how is everyone doing? im doing really good. i just got done with my sixth week here. i love it so much. however i feel that someone is calling my name in mexico. it is a strange feeling too. i have a feeling the lord is going to work a miracle and get me to mexico very soon. im ready too.
this past week started off with service for an investigator. sister babilonia she isnt progressing but she is still interested. her husband is kinda anti. our car decided to quit working so we have one car for the four of us. it is a big pain in the but. we took the car to the dealer to get it fixed we should have it back by tomorrow. we have done alot of walking in the rain and cold. yes it is cold here. we are now requiered to wear suits after 5. i dont mind it helps keep me warm. brenda is now getting baptized. her dad wasnt going to let her but my companion talked to him and helped him understand why she wants to and what it means. she is super excited.
lupes baptism was on sunday. she is ten. getting her ready for the interview was painful. we would ask her who is heavenly father............i dont know. are you kidding me?!!!! who is president monson................i dont know? you are kidding?!!!!! she didnt remember anything. it was so painful to go through everything. over and over. and over and over and over till she remembered. she passed.
i got to speak at her baptism. i was nervous. well i was terrified. i did good tho. my companion looked over at me when i was done gave me the thumbs up. i sat down next to him and he said "why cant you teach like that too". it was a big boost for me. it helped shed some light on the doubts i have had about spanish. after the baptism we talked to her sister. she said that she wanted to get baptized. we are starting to teach her. her baptism is next month.
we talked with linda and gabriel. they are going to be married on the 18th. and baptized the next day. they are almost done with the lessons. President jimenez also talked with them and they know what they need to do to get the paper work. hopefully i am here for that.
i am still losing weight. i had to punch another whole in my belt. i promise im eating. i eat all them time. it just isnt junk food. maybe that is the difference.
we now have 6 missionaries in the branch. that isnt normal. usually there are just 2 missionaries in each ward or branch. president gonzalez feels that there is alot of work to be done. we are excited to have them covering the north part of the area. we havent had alot of time to go up there yet. so the branch should grow quickly now. we are really happy about that.
we set 2 baptismal dates with two youth. one is solid. he likes church the other. i dont know what his problem is but he wont come to church. we are going to visit him tonight to ask.
anyway. that is all that happend. i love you all lots. i hope all is well. have fun at thanksgiving. ill let you know how my mexican thanksgiving goes. dont miss me too much.
love you lots
Love,
Elder Taylor Paskett
