Fam Damily Week 22

Hey everybody, I got to baptize the Sister missionaries' Investigator this week, She is a basketball player six two, and she is the girlfriend of a member here who is a pro basketball player. But her name is Astrid Berenice Sanchez Curmina and she chose me to baptize her because one day we were at her boyfriends house eating and she said I had a noble spirit... so yeah. I'm noble. just thought you all should know haha  

Then this week we had an awesome lesson with our golden investigators Elizabeth and Alejandra, their Baptismal date was changed to the first week of march but they came to church and that was awesome. Also we have one investigator Leopoldo who is living the word of wisdom and trying to quit smoking and he is doing so good. already gone down from 11 smokes a day to 4 and by week 3 he told us he will quit completely. He is progressing really well and reading the book of mormon and told us he thinks Joseph Smith is a prophet of God so that is all good with me. This week my companion got to speak in church too so that was way cool, only 4 weeks and he is speaking in church, I really felt like a proud papa. He is the best and we are such good friends. 

Also the last 4 weeks we have been digging a hole for a member in the ward. Hermano gabriel. He loves missionaries because he says we are the only people who have always loved him and had patience with him. The hole when it is finished will be 1.5 meters wide, 4.5 meters long and 1.5 meters deep. If you don't know how much 1 meter is, about 3 feet. so yeah, it is a huge hole. I will send a pic when it is finished. But this week instead of digging it we moved his three cactus he had out of the way because that was where he wants the hole. We are only about one third of the way done after about 8 hours worth of digging. It's hard but pretty fun too. Like everything in the mission. Hard, but fun. 

I speak pretty decent spanish now, my goal is to be able to tell people I am argentine and have them beleive me. I think by the one year mark, I will speak well enough to do it. thats my goal at least. 

Not a whole lot of super exciting stuff this week, sorry, just not the most exciting week ever.
