Rain

This week was great as well. We baptized two more investigators this weekend. Remember how last week there was no water to fill the font? Well this weekend, on Saturday, there was an overabundance of water, via Rain and Thunder and Lightning. The bad weather prevented most of the people from coming, so there was almost no support from the ward. But she is a strong investigator and has a strong testimony already. Last week I had lent my white pants to the husband of the woman who was baptized, so he could baptize her. He didn´t come until halfway through the baptismal service, right before the baptism. But luckily our investigator had multiple sets of white clothing just in case. I wore the overalls that she was going to wear, and she wore another set of clothing. Everything went well afterall.
They say that the sun is very very strong right now...between 10-12 on the UV scale...and they say that 14 is solar radiation. I´ve started to cake on the sunblock...It really helps. Sometimes I can just feel the sun burning my skin. But it´s nice out right now. Overcast and about 75-80 degrees. It has rained the past 3 days in the night, so it gets really cold in the mornings, but that´s how I like it, when my head is cold and I have nice, warm covers.
Transfers are tomorrow, but both my companion and I are staying here in Meyehualco. I really do like it here, and there is a lot of potential. Speaking of moving around, they say that the mission is going to split in June or July and that they are going to take some missionaries from the Mexico City South and Mexico City East missions to create the Mexico City Southeast mission. We´ll see if I´ll get moved. If so, I´ll have had the opportunity to serve in 3 different missions and have 3 different mission presidents. Pretty whacky.
Well that´s about all for this week. Will write next week. (this week is Semana Santa, or the week leading up to Easter. On Saturday, everyone throws liquids at everyone else on the streets, so we´re expecting to get pretty wet that day...details to follow :)
Love you all.
