Hola mis Amigos y Familia!!!
    
          Happy Halloween!!!! I wish I could be there to celebrate with all of you, but I will just enjoy myself here in Maipú. It is strange, but there dont even celebrate Halloween here. Crazy how something so big for all of us is just another day in other parts of the world.  It is a little disappointing just because I love this holiday so much. 
          This last Saturday we had the Baptism of Joel Pavon.  Everyone  always has there story about how the font was super cold the day of there baptism.  I wanted to make sure Joel didn´t have this same experience.  Unfortunately, I made the water a little to hot... Oops. ha ha We were all laughing so hard as Joel slowly got into the water saying.... Yikes about every two seconds... I wish I could have recorded it. I am sure the for ever the word will talk about the Sister Missionary that instead of baptizing little childred likes to cook them.  Ha ha I will make sure that never happens again. 
          I am also very happy that this Saturday we will be having the Baptism of Matias Pizarro. I have been working with him for a very long time, and he is finally ready. He still has his little doubts, but have the faith that with a little more time he will understand everything better. It never ceases to amaze me the great faith that some of these wonderful children of god have.  I don´t thing they realize how much the are helping me in the process of there conversion.
          I love the work with all my heart.  I am so grateful for  my wonderful companion and all the work that we get done together.  I can´t believe how quickly the time is passing us by.  I will do my very best to show all the love of our Savior in the next week, and hope you all can do the same.  Have a wonderful week.  
                       Ciao,
                            Hermana Marlene Ricks
