First Baptisms

Family,

Felicidades on the LEED award, and on the kids 1st place.
[Note: Dave's employer, a commercial developer, was named Maryland's Greenest Company. Daniel and Julia got all 1s on their band trip performance.]

Over here I just baptised for the first time yesterday. And since today is Cinco de Mayo, its celebration day. Elder Harding and I havent been eating junk food, but today we ate candy until we were nearly sick. No regrets.
I'm going to send some pictures in the mail today.

Things are going really well over here. In the last two weeks we had 3 less actives return to church and an investigator family. The Agramon's haven't been in ten years, Hermana Agramon and her daughter came. Another guy Hermano Tavarez. And then the Orsonia family came. They had about ten of them, mostly teenagers. Spanish families are way to hard to follow.

They went to the English ward, and the English Elders were super surprised that a herd of Mexican looking people came in. Then Carlos and his wife and 4 kids came. Church was a little long for him. But his wife liked it and wanted to talk with the bishop afterward. Oh yeah, and we found out about him because of the Less Active family Maroquin, so she came to church too. That was in the past two sundays.

After church was the baptisms of Julia(the Grandma), Kimberly, Angel, and Wilson. Elder Harding baptised the Grandma and I baptised the other three. After the Grandma was baptised she said "Que ricco" or in English "thats cool".

Elder Harding and I were thinking that we're really not too smart, or good enough of missionaries to be getting all this success on our own. We know that the lord and your prayers have been going a good portion of the work. Thanks for praying and supporting us. Keep it up for us.

Hasta la vista,
Elder James Meiners
