1-30-12 Baptism of Maria Jesus aka Nelly



Dear Family,
Well, this week was a very hectic week. We were getting Nelly ready for baptism but we also felt that this other girl should be baptized too. She had already made it to the date of her baptism in the past but the day of her mom said no. So, we went to her house and talked to her and she wants to be baptized but you have to be 18 to choose for yourself. So, she talked to her mom and her mom said no because she is Catholic. So, we decided to go talk to her and she said no and we kinda got into an argument her and I haha, but we smoothed it over but she wouldn't sign the form, so that girl wasn't baptized. But the good news is Nelly was baptized and confirmed and also we got Mena and Diogo confirmed too. So, it was a good week. Nelly was excited to be baptized. She had gone to Church for two years in Cape Verde but the Sisters there said she wasn't ready and wouldn't baptize her, so we did. It was a very cool experience and she chose me to baptize her. So, this week was a pretty good week and we did a lot of work.
Thanks for all the help and support that you guys are. I love and miss you all.
Love,
Elder Spencer Jensen
