First Baptism

The Baptism yesterday was awesome!!! but you know with me invloved it would have to get a little western!!! All week we werent' sure if maria would get baptized she was sick or her head hurt of she thought the baptism was at the beach and didnt want there to be a bunch of people or the ongoing fact that she was having issues with coffe, so we prayed at every opportunity for them and pulled out the big guns and brought bishop Montero with us to our lesson on like Wed and he did work he ended up dumping there coffe in the trash, he later was like i hope they dont scoop it out of the trash!!! it was pretty eventful and thats probably why maria's head kept hurting, Sunday they came to sacrament along with our golden inv Rodrigo i'll talk about him later, but maria was sicker than a dog and i had my doubts that she would be baptized. we gave her a blessing and sent her home to rest. later after church we called and they were still planning on getting baptized!! i was so happy!!!!! i was kinda nervous because i was memorizing the baptismal prayer in spanish! so we get to the church and they are a little late not bad we got Nicolas dressed and then maria comes out in her regular clothes and doesn't want anyone to see her in the jumpsuit haha so we just go with it and have her change right before hand. so Elder lamb says ok you can baptize nicolas and i'll baptize maria and i was like sweet becuase i didnt' want to be the one to screw up and make a bad experience for her. so im going into the font and nicolas comes in behind me and he's like is hot, its hot and i thought it was kinda cold so i dont know what his deal was. he gets in and i cant hardly talk to him so im just showing him where to hold and i cant understand him because he said his jaw was broke as a kid. so i raise my arm say the prayer and try to baptize him and i just can't get him to be flexible at all and we dont even get close, so i try to have him bend his knees and we try again same thing, he starts giggling so i turn all red and before long im giggling and trying to keep the spirit and we try again same thing i just can't dunk this guy the witness all have huge grins along with the sister missionaries in the front row. im just dying the bishop comes over and leans over the glass tells him what to do cuz i cant and then we try again and still nothing we start on one side of the font and end up over on the other. so elder lamb comes in and gives a couple wacks at it nicolas is still giggling every once and again. after like the third time i come up and help him and we almost tackle the poor man but we finally got the job done. he said afterwards he felt good i hope so we kept telling him he was too strong and needed to be baptized so many times, Luckily afterwards marias went smoothly. man they are a great family. its just cool how he was such a good sport about it and he knew he wanted it he just couldnt move that way!!
