Happy Memorial Day!

Because of Memorial Day all the libraries were CLOSED so that is why I am emailing so late! Sorry about that. Sounds like everyone had a fantastic week by the way :)
WEllll this last week we had a BAPTISM!!! It was SO GREAT! Our investigator Nicolas, who we've been teaching about 3 months, got baptized. A member family brought him to church and we were like, "Can we come to your house?" And he shrugged and said, "Why not?" He didn't want to be baptized at first, but one day that just changed and he wanted it.

His baptism was CRAZY. I mean literally.
Everything that went wrong with the baptism:
~Jonatan (a recent convert who baptized him) and Nicolas got in the font before the baptism began thinking that they had to just wait there. They didn't realize that we had to do part of the program first. So then we had to get them new suits and everything. And everyone was like, "What happened?! Did he already baptize him??!?!" Luckily he hadn't.
~They both forgot towels (and we forgot to remind them) so they that through the entire baptism and afterwards wet.
~The Bishopric wasn't there so this random member welcomed him and it was really weird.
Everything that went right:
~HE GOT BAPTIZED!
Being baptized is the most important part and we are so happy for him! Next week he will be confirmed and it will be great!

Another classic moment of the week:
Yesterday, teaching an investigator about the Restoration:
Sister Reed: "We can know the truth about our message by reading the Book of Mormon and praying to God whether it is true."
Investigator, looking at my companion: "Is she always this happy?"
Companion, nodding solemnly: "Yes, hermano."
At Neil's request, I am going to explain a normal preparation day!
8-10: Normal studies
10:30-12:30 Emailing errybody in the whole world
1-3: buy/put away food
3-6: clean apartment, clean car, shopping, or getting together with missionaries and playing sports or the  ukulele
Because we couldn't email on Memorial day we had extra time! So we got together with all the missionaries from the Newark church units (English, Spanish, and Portuguese) and some of the Spanish Ward members and played soccer all day. It was a blast and I got the best burn ever. Yay for farmer's tans! But boy I am soooooore. My poor body.
It RAINED this week. When it rains in New Jersey, it pours. Luckily, I had a raincoat, but my knees down were completely soaked through. I could have jumped in a pool and not been any wetter. So then we jumped in puddles and gave bemused people cards in the pouring rain.
Hope you all have a great next week and remember to crack open those scriptures! Love you all! Choose the right and know what you stand for!
Love,
Sister Reed
