Just got back from playing baseball again with the zone. It was cooler this time because the cuban wasn´t burning in fastballs like last time. So, people were actually able to hit the ball.
Rosario, the wife of Carlos, a 32 year old returned missionary from Chiapas that just moved in right in front of us, was ready to be baptized next sunday, but it turns out that they´re not legally married. I think they would already be married if it weren´t for the fact that they both still have to finalize divorces. They such cool people though. Carlos speaks perfect english and Rosario is so receptive to the gospel. She´s already felt her answer that the Book of Mormon and the Church are true.
Maru and Javier, the older couple that went to stake conference last week were also willing to prepare for baptism the 6 of November, but to our surprise they aren´t married either even though they´ve been together for about 10 years. Maru started telling us about the problems her and Javier have had. Javier was willing to get married the next day. However, he hasen´t been the most faithful companion and, therefore, Maru still isn´t ready to marry him yet. I felt like a marriage counselor when they started telling us all about the problems in their relationship. It´s funny how much these probably 70 year old people trust me, a 21 old kid. They listened so atently to my advice. Javier is already like half through the Book of Mormon. So, I have faith that they´ll decide to get married and baptized soon.
Two other families went to church on sunday and it seemed like they enjoyed it. One of the families, the family gonzalez is getting very close to baptism even though they never want to accept a specific date when we teach them. They experienced a huge change in their life and their state of mind.
My birthday went pretty much just like any other day. Norma, the most recently baptized person we´ve taught, gave me a really nice blue sweater and made me some tacos dorados and that was about it.
I promise I´ll respond to Marc´s email next week. Right now I don´t have time.
