baptism, barbeque on the beach

hello lovely and loving family and friends, another week has come and gone out here in urugay. elder bartons week went fairly well, i started off the week by heading out on divisions with elder olivares from peru. it was a good division and elder oliverares is a super cool and good guy and dont mean to be racist but one of the few elders from peru i like haha i know im terrible. so yeah that went down there than the week was all fun and games just working hard. we had a baptism this last saturday she was a lady that me and my old comp found and we finally got her to get to church and get excited to get baptized haha it was really cool cause throughout the week i was a little nervous to baptize her but as we kept going by she just kept on showing us signs of the light of christ she has and her whole character changed she went out and bought her some new clothes for the baptism and than after invited us over to her house for a little party it was super fun, anayr lives in the middle of a bunch of drug dealers haha so it can be a little sketchy to go by her house and she is pretty dang poor but she promised us she was going to go to church everyday by foot and really thanked us for all that we did for her helping her get to know jesus christ so it was just another one of those moments that made me feel like i was doing my job as a missionary. a little funny story while we were getting the baptism ready she started to fill up the baptisimal fount and so while it was filling we decided to leave and work....and yup you guessed it when we got back about 1 hour and a half after it had overflooded haha not to bad though we just ran in there stopped it and started mopping up where it had spilled into the hallway haha so yeah definately learned to keep a better eye on the baptisimal fount when i am filling the darn thing up haha it wasnt to big of a deal but it definately was a funny experience and just one of those things that brightens up the week. things with me and elder morales keep going good, he is kinda getting obsessed over me haha like when i am hanging ot with other missionaries he says he gets jealous and i have caught him taking pictures of me, he says its just one of those things he does when he thinks people are cool he admitted that it was weird haha but he just says he likes to do it, so yeah i dont know haha. thank just barely i took my district to a beach nearby here in montevideo and we made ourselves a little barbeque as mark should know an "asado" so that was super fun a little windy but its alright. things are really cooling down here in the guay, at night it gets a little cold and gotta start putting on 2 blankets so i am beginning by 2nd winter....not to excited i hate winter down here in the guay and on the mission but its just one of those things i gotta learn from i guess haha . so yeah i hope everything is good with you guys, i didnt really hear from anyone but sue haha but i am sure things are doing great. talk to ya´ll next week. keep it real. be good, elder barton
