1-23-12 Baptism of Diogo and Filomena





Dear Family,
How are things going? Sorry, I have been slacking on letters, but I will be sending some today. Things here this week were pretty good. First of all we baptized Mena and Diogo!!! It was way cool but it was a fought til the very end with Diogo´s mom, but she finally realized that it was for the best of Diogo. It was way cool and I am glad that I got to help them. So, Mena had a stroke and it paralized the left side of her body a little bit, so when we were baptizing her her leg kept coming outta the water. And it turns out that she has a fear of water and whenever her head would get near the water she would panic. And she isn´t the smallest woman in the world and I had to baptize her. So after three tries the fourth one was the winner and all of her went into the water haha. It was pretty funny and she will have a funny story to tell. This week was just spent helping them get ready for baptism and teaching them the things they need to know. And we have a woman named Nelly marked for next weekend, so pray for her. But things here are good. Thanks for all you guys do for me and the support.
Love,
Elder Spencer Jensen
