That Little Twist
This week we were blessed and privileged to have another baptism. Except this week instead of having it in the baptismal font in the church like always, like every other baptism I have had, we decided to throw some spin on it. We took advantage of the opportunity and the fact that we are in Loja so we asked around a found like a little pool pond to have the baptism in. We got the approval from him and from the President and so after church on Sunday we headed out. I was expecting like 10 people from the branch to come, but like everyone was so excited and like 40 came out. It was awesome. The pictures prove that. His name is Angel Zapata. He is from Saraguro, a small city like 2 hours from Loja, but lives here in Loja. The clothes he wears in the pictures is there native dress. He is a way cool dude. Including when we got in the water to do the baptism he like dove into the water. It was super funny and a great experience. The water was super cold but other than that it was a super cool experience. The branch loved it as well and everyone wants to do the baptisms in the branch in that pool from here on out.

The Rest is Boring
Other than that the week was quite boring and normal without any major highlights or anything that are noteworthy or that would draw your attention. I apologize for that but I will make up for it by sending a lot of pictures. We took a lot this week and they are super awesome.Hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for all the love and support. Always greatly appreciated.
