Mirella Jr. is pretty much ready to be baptized. She just needs a little...something, a little push to get her there. Mirella Sr. needs a little more work. The baptisms were great because Mirella Jr.'s less active brother, Jose, was there at the baptism and he told us he was able to get every Sunday off from work, except Mother's Day (cause that's their busiest day), he's coming back to church, and he wants to baptize his sister when she's ready, but he has to get the Melquizedek priesthood first. So, yep. Starting out the mission with a golden contact. That's great.
We have a TON of other people we're teaching. Just to name a few: Alejandra, Victor, Vicky and her daughter Jacklyn, Juana and Juana (we have two different Juanas, they're not related, as far as I know), Yolanda, Miguel and Bryan. Those are all our progressing investigators. Much of the Spanish group (It's not quite a branch, yet. We're working toward that) here is less-active, so we go out to try and find the lost sheep and bring them back into the fold. Yup. Good stuff. I don't know all the names of the members in our group yet.
We're also the sister missionaries for the English ward that our Spanish group is in because they don't have Sister missionaries. So, it's a big job in a little area. Both Spanish and English. We did teach one lesson in English over Skype. That was interesting. It was a guy named Matt. He is Hermana Wilcox's friend from back home in Layton Utah. So, yup. Those are, more or less, considerably less than more than more or less, the people we're teaching. You look in the area book, though, with all the potential investigators and the investigators we're to be teaching right now, and there's a LOT.
President Riggs wants us to type up all the information from the book area book into our area books on our ipads and it takes quite a bit of time. So we do it when we have a spare moment. Our mornings are jam-packed with studies right now (1 hour personal, 1 hour companion, 1 hour training, and 1 hour language), and evenings are what we call "Prime proselyting time" because everybody's home. And, yeah. Life is good. Busy, but that's why it's good.
Haven't seen any roaches here yet, but it is bedbug season, so we are taking precautions to protect ourselves.
