Let's see, this was the best week so far... we had 2 baptisms last Saturday, it was beautiful, and you might want to make sure your sitting down when I say this... I played the piano for the service... yes the prelude, the opening and closing hymns and the postlude... it wasn't great, but Antuane loved it... my comp and I also sang a song. The only sad thing is Antuane's daughter cried the whole time because she wanted to be baptized too, but she is only 7. She needs to wait 10 more months! We had a ton of non-members at the baptism, and the next day one of them at church, José came up to us and said I've decided I want to be baptized this Saturday, and lucky for him he gave up smoking the week before, so he is being baptized this Saturday, and then Silvia who also had a date for this Saturday said she wanted to be baptized!! So we have 2 more baptisms this Saturday, we are so excited!! Also Silvia's mom wants to be baptized and her youngest son too!! SO wow! Also Antuane brought a friend to her baptism and church the next day, and her friend loved it, she told us she felt something in her heart when Antuane was baptized! We have an appt with her on sat! Also Antuane bore her testimony after being confirmed on Sunday, and it was beautiful, the most powerful part was at the end when she stopped and looked out at us and said "Yo sé que la iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Días is verdadera." Wow that was just amazing because we had never heard her say that before... so so powerful!! If you don´t know what that means, it's just "I know that the church is true!"

I must say I´m incredibly blessed to be here in Tigre! Welp, I don´t have much time left, so I guess that is all I will share, I had a great Christmas, I loved talking to everyone, and I wish you all a happy new year!!

Love ya
