Elder Eppich and Lautoro getting baptized

March 11, 2013

Familia,

Wow we had a great week! Lautoro got baptized!!! It was a super good baptism! We had 5 investigators there and lots of members to support him. Fabi talked about baptism and made everyone cry, haha it was really good. Lautoro is such a Capo ( Stud ) he wants to serve a mission and everything! He has to wait 3 years until he turns 18 but he still wants to do it! So that’s good! So on Tuesday night Elder Nilsen and Aramburu from 25 de Mayo came out to do the interview for Lautoro. We made pancakes and waffles with homemade maple syrup, everyone here thinks I am a professional chef, Haha little do they know. I tell them one day I am going to open a restaurant with my family. Haha

  Well we were going to do the interview at 7:30, so we get there and Lautoro called and said he was on his way, so we were like oh perfect and started cooking, but the time keeps passing by and no Lautoro. And at 9 he still hadn’t showed up and we couldn’t get a hold of him or anything.. So me and Elder Aramburu went out looking for him, and no luck, so we went back to the house of Abuela Negra and started cleaning up and then started leaving and Lautoro comes running up and says wait I’m here. Haha he was with a friend whose parents were traveling home and he couldn’t leave him alone. So we did the interview! Then on Friday hermano hurtado baptized lautoro. I wanted Hermano Hurtado to have the opportunity to baptize in a pool and on his mission so he baptized lautoro then on Sunday I confirmed him. 

  Abuela Negra absolutely loved the baptism and so did the other 4 people that are considering baptism as well! We are really hoping that a few of them will be baptized here in the next few weeks!! 

 We found a lot of good people this week in a little town about 6 kilometers away from where we live! It’s a good little bike ride out there in the middle of a bunch of farm land and dairies I really like going out there. 

  Well my companion has to go home because he has to start school, so probably Tuesday or Wednesday we will travel there and I will get my new companion. I’m not sure who it will be. but it will probably be temporary. Who knows we will see. (Argentina is still having trouble with  VISAS so not many missionaries are coming and areas have been closed down. Kraymer is waiting to train a new Elder)

 Well sounds like all is going great. Love ya’ll! Good luck everyone with everything! Good luck Karigan with Jr miss, just enjoy it and do your best! Keep up the great work Kade!!

 Love, Elder Eppich
