Baptism day complications

3/16  So this week wasn't very eventful, but the hermanas here got two baptisms on Saturday, and there are a couple of stories to tell about that. First of all, we were put in charge of filling the font, which is just a portable tarp pool thing. No big deal right? Wrong! The water in the entire building shut off when the font wasn't even knee deep. We ran around in a panic for about an hour trying everything possible to fix it, but nothing worked. We decided to say a prayer, and then call bishop. When bishop showed up, he made a couple of calls, then left the building. He came back 30 minutes later, and the water worked perfectly. I don’t want to know what he had to do to make that work, but he had his serious cop face on when he left... Everything from then on went perfectly. The next day on Sunday, we had the confirmation of both of the baptisms, but only one of them showed up. During the confirmation of the first one, I was praying so hard for the other one to show up. Right when the confirmation was finished, he walked in. Such a huge miracle.

So today for Preparation Day we took the train into Barcelona and rented bikes. We rode around Plaza Cataluña and all around that part of the city. It was super fun, and we will probably do it again sometime soon. It was really fun to spend a little time with the other elders in our district, Elder Ward and Elder Cox. They are super funny, and the 4 of us get along like best friends.

When we got back from Barcelona, we saw a huge miracle! We decided to walk down a different way than we usually do, and by doing so, we ran into our long lost recent convert. We have a recent convert named Alberto, but when I got here he had just disappeared. We have been trying to call him every day, but had not seen nor heard anything from him, or even about him. He told us that he is living and working in Sitges, which is still in our area, and that he got a new phone. We were so happy to find out that he is still alive, and still really happy. We will definitely be visiting him now that we know where he lives. He seemed like a really cool, very nice kid, and I am excited to get to know him.
