Gabriel's Baptism

Gabriel was baptized on the 30th!  The baptismal service went as planned but took place an hour late.  Which was fine.  Long story made short:  we had turned on the water pump to drain the little smidge of water that was left in the font and forgot to turn it back off when we started to fill the font.  Not that it really mattered because Gabriel showed up late as well.  But a whole bunch of people came.  And the Noche de Hogar [Family Home Evening] that we hosted directly after the baptism was a complete success.

Yesterday we had a lesson in the Ferreyra's home.  Gabriel directed the lesson and his younger brother gave the lesson.  One of the other brothers who doesn't live there but was visiting also participated.  Hna Ferreyra was sooooo happy.  She wants to be sealed with all of her children, not just some of them.  Now all we have to do is teach and baptize her three other kids.  :)


Uuuummm...  The rest of the week was spent in a bunch of lessons with Gabriel and a lot of walking around looking for people to teach.
