10-17-11 Edimilson & Zinha's wedding; Edimilson's baptism [PHOTOS]

THIS WEEK WENT GREAT! TODAY IS TRANSFER DAY AND ME AND ALBUQUERQUE STAYED TOGETHER IN SAN MARTIN, AGAIN! WHEN I LEAVE I WILL HAVE SPENT AT LEAST 7 MONTHS OF MY MISSION IN THIS AREA. I WAS HAPPY THOUGH, BECAUSE WE HAVE A GOOD WORK GOING HERE NOW (FINALLY) AFTER 3 MONTHS.

THE WEDDING OF EDIMILSON AND ZINHA WENT REALLY WELL. ME AND ELDER A. DID ALMOST EVERYTHING FOR THE PREPARATIONS.  THE RELIEF SOCIETY COMBINED TO GET ALL THE INGREDIENTS OF THE CAKE TO THE BISHOP'S MOM AND SHE MADE A GREAT WEDDING CAKE. THE WEDDING WENT WELL, THERE WERE ALMOST 100 PEOPLE THERE AND THE MAJORITY ARE NOT MEMBERS. MOST OF THE PEOPLE STAYED TO WATCH EDIMILSON'S BAPTISM AFTERWARDS, WHICH MADE IT SO THAT THERE WAS ONLY STANDING ROOM IN THE BAPTISM ROOM. IT WAS GREAT, THEY ARE HAPPY, (AND EDIMILSON WAS VERY NERVOUS HAHA). HE WAS CONFIRMED AND RECEIVED THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST YESTERDAY.

 
Wedding of Edimilson & Zinha

WE'VE GOT 2 MORE WEDDINGS COMING UP (ACTUALLY 3 IF YOU COUNT IRENE'S, BUT WERE NOT IN CHARGE OF THAT ONE). JUNIOR AND DAHLILLA DIDN'T GO TO CHURCH UNFORTUNATELY, BUT JUNIOR HAS AGREED TO  THE GOAL OF BEING PREPARED TO BE BAPTIZED ON THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER (THE WEDDING DAY) WITH HIS WIFE. 
SILVIO AND CARMEN ARE DOING GREAT! THEY BOTH WANT TO BE MARRIED AND BAPTIZED AND THEY LOVED CHURCH YESTERDAY! CARMEN ONLY WENT TO THE LAST HOUR, WHICH IS SACRAMENT MEETING HERE, BECAUSE OF HER PREGNANCY (SHE'S 6 MONTHS PREGNANT BUT HAVING SOME DIFFICULTIES).  SO PRAY FOR HER.
YESTERDAY WAS STRANGE, LOTS OF INVESTIGATORS WERE AT CHURCH, BUT NO RECENT CONVERTS. WE'LL HAVE TO START WORKING WITH THEM MORE. LITERALLY NOT ONE PERSON THAT I'VE BAPTIZED SINCE I GOT HERE WAS AT CHURCH (BESIDES EDIMILSON, TO BE CONFIRMED).
THANKS,
LOVE YOU ALL
