this week was really good. it was really stressful preparing for the baptisms. saturday i was really stressed out. we had to go down early and feel out the font. so we started filling it and started to clean the church which took a while, because it has been raining a lot lately so there was a lot of mud. so we cleaned it all up, and then my companion realized that he had forgotten the pants for one of the people that were going to get baptized. so we had to take a bus back home get the pants and come back. when we got back the water was green in the font, because all the rain we have been having. so the mom of the kid didnt want to baptize him in that water, so we had to empty the font and refill it which took a way long time. the baptism was suppose to start at 6 but since we had all those crazy things happen it started at like 7 30. luckily our ward mission leader had a bunch of movies about the church so we were able to watch some as we waited. so then the baptisms happened, it was really good. the water was still green and kind of cold but we did them anyway. the first two went well without any problems, the the third one was crazy. it was the evangelical pastor. her son who just got the priesthood a week before baptized her. but i think he got a little nervous because he mixed up the words a few times, and she was kind of hard to baptize because she is shorter and her belly kept floating up. the first time was kind of funny he dunked her and she came up saying all this evangelical stuff like blessed be the name of Jesus and stuff like that and then we had to tell her that they had to do it again. i think she ended up getting dunked like 7 times it was crazy. we ended up just using a chair, which we should have done in the first place, but they all got baptized and confirmed on sunday so it was a really good weekend. we got cambios this week and i am staying in Lota with the same companion for 6 more weeks. i am happy, the sector is really good, and my companion is a nice guy and we get a long pretty well. so all is well lota is amazing, i am really happy i get to stay here again. thanks for all your letters and everything i really do appreciate everything.
Love
Elder Brimhall
