Happy Halloween!! First baptism!

Hey everyone! Happy Halloween, hope no one will be at the dentist this week with to many cavities from all the candy the kids have probably been eating. Well what's the weather like there? it's getting pretty darn cold it actually snowed here the last 2 days and its been like 30 degrees, Time to bring out the winter clothing. Well i hope everyone has had a good Halloween cause we don't really have one here we actually have to be in early tonight. Heard about them cougs what a disappointment. Well we didn't have the greatest week number wise but that doesn't really matter. It's been hard lately but what can i do just keep trucking a long. I actually had the opportunity to baptize a kid yesterday whose name is Ray he is 19. When i was with Elder Spear we found him and handed him off to the English Elders but it was pretty cool to see just by opening up my mouth i helped someone progress towards baptism. All i said was "hey throw me the ball" as they were playing football and right there it sparked interest. He has been kind of a troubled kid and it's really cool to see his life change and do see his desire to follow Christ even though i didn't teach him. It was really cool to baptize him. The water was really cold but man did it feel to get in the water for the first time. I actually had to do it twice cause his knee came up out of the water (wasn't my fault) ha ha but it was good. He wasn't too happy about that. It's so cool to see people making those steps in their lives to do the right things. We have a few investigators that we are focusing on. We had a really good lesson with a new investigator named Carlos this week. He really opened up to us and really has a desire to change his life. That's really good when you gain the trust of your investigators. Then we have Ramiro who is kinda being flaky about coming to church. Then we have Ana and Victor they are doing good, he is trying to change his work schedule so that he can come to church. But we are having a good time ha ha Elder Lindsley and Elder Tryon wrestled this week and Lindsley won but Tryon slid his face on the carpet and now his whole forehead and what not are all burned its pretty bad, i think Elder lindsley feels a little bad. We also got a new car today we were driving a 2009 Chevy Malibu but we got a Ford Fusion 2012 its nice. But all is good we are going to do work this week it should be good. Well i hope all goes well have a great day love you all be safe tonight. Elder Smart
