First Baptism- Real de Palmas Week 3

That is crazy that you guys are packing. I kind of can't believe it. It is also crazy that you have done all that stuff, and that you have had such a crazy week. We have been a little crazy, too, especially today. We went on a zone activity to a place that means tale of the horse. Cola de Caballo or something like that. It is a waterfall and was pretty cool, but it took from like 7:30 to 5:00, so it wasn't so cool. We are going to see Elder Holland tomorrow, so when we are finished writing, we are going to go spend the night in Fraustro with the other missionaries again, because we have to be at the mission offices by 6 in the morning. So yeah, things are kind of crazy, but we baptized somebody this week. Her name is Heidi, and she is 9, and her family is becoming active again, and because she is nine, she is our responsibility. So if you are all keeping track at home, that is one baptism. I have pictures, but i don't have my card reader at the moment, so you'll have to wait a week. Sorry. Also this week, we started teaching a family of like 15 people! They all live in one house, and there is this one lady that is like super pregnant and has this other little kid, and her husband got thrown in jail this week. The whole family has really been shaken by the whole ordeal, and I think that it has opened them up to the gospel, because they all listen really well and accept everything we teach. We may baptize them in like 2 weeks. They want to, and we will see if they are ready. But more than anything I just want to help the poor pregnant lady. And they are all pretty great people, so it is really exciting. I don't know what else to say, because those are some bits and pieces of stories, and I hope that is good enough. I will tell you more about things if you ask, and maybe I will find a way to write more and then take pictures like I was talking about earlier, but everything here is really great, and I am excited to take our trip to Spain when I get back. I will talk to you all in a week, and I love all of you!
Love, Elder Parkes
