Filling the Font!

So this past week has been loaded!!! First off, on Friday we had the baptism for Hermana Bertha. But it was quite an adventure to get everything in order for it. Paramonga right now is kinda in a drought and we only get water for certain times of the day for a certain period of time. Lucky our time in our apartment is in the morning so we can take a shower, but the time for the chapel is at 3 in the morning. We had it all planned out to were Elder Trinindad and I would clean the font Thursday during the day and then President Condermarin (our Branch President who is the clown for a living) would wake up and turn on the water to fill the font. But come Friday morning we went to check on the font and it was completely clean and very dry. The President didn’t wake up on time so that left us with an empty font! So Elder Trinidad and I hauled water for six hours Friday. The nearest place we could get water was at a member’s house 4 blocks away and the only member that could help us was our mission leader but he did more overseeing that work! It was times like that, that I wish we had a Grant Loveless in my branch! lol. By the end of six hours with no breakfast and lunch we decided that we had enough water, when actually it only came to our knees. But the work still goes on and we performed the baptism for Bertha. It was really great and quite a few member showed up which is always a good sign. I gave a short little talk about the spirit and its role in our life after we have received the gift of the Holy Ghost. It was all good.

Saturday she invited us over for lunch. This was the first time we had eaten in a member’s home so I was a little nervous but it was very good. We had chicken, rice, and French fries. Oh and this really cool drink that they make from corn, kinda crazy but it tastes really good.
