Hello One and All,
Well where to begin. We were very happy with a successful baptism this last Saturday. We got chewed out a couple of times about our poor scheduling by very stressed out relief society sisters who were simultaneously running a Christmas party, but I say our event was more important. So too bad for them. The baptism went great, the program even went over fantastic and there was a ton of support from the branch. It was super spiritual and awesome. Anderson baptized Omar and Alejandra. That just leaves Griselda (the mother) and Andreina (the oldest daughter). They're not quite there yet, but with time they will be.
One thing that me and Anderson are excited for is that tonight to celebrate the baptism, the Ramos family is taking us out to Chuck E Cheese's, where Andreina works. The last and only time I went to that place was when I was 17, and it was not that great, but I am hopeful and optimistic for how this time will go. It will certainly be with a better group for that kind of activity.
Christmas is in the air. The temp has finally settled in the mid 20's. There have been a few attempts at snow, but nothing of note.
One mystery that we are trying to figure out is as follows: Last night Anderson and I got home only to find a white bag complete with Bow hanging off our door knob. Written on it in mildly girly had writing was: "To Elder Anderson, With Great Admiration!" Inside said bag was a zip lock bag filled with home made cookies, and written on that baggie was "To Elder Anderson and Crew, Keep working hard!" So not only does my demotion to the title of "crew" make me feel like a "tree of no account", but also Anderson has some sort of secret admirer. We are absolutely stumped as to who this could be from. But that's ok, it made for a fun evening.
Mom and Dad, happy travels. You too Whit and Cody. Eric, enjoy hosting the folks. Mike and Jess, I don't know your plans but Merry Christmas!
Love,
Elder Richards
