Well, I had another great week here in San Marcos. Everything went pretty well. I had to give a talk in Sacrament Meeting and no body got up to leave so I guess that went pretty well too.
The other Elders in our branch are just on fire right now and had the craziest baptism last week. Basically Last Monday night they called me and asked if I could do a baptismal interview on Wednesday at 8pm and then a baptism at 8:30pm the same
day. Turns out after church on Sunday the Branch President introduced
them to a 12 year old boy who had been going to church his whole life
with his Grandma but wasn't baptized yet because his mom wouldn't let
him, and told them that he needs to get baptized on Wednesday. So on
Monday they had a FHE with the mom and she agreed to let him get
baptized. So Wednesday was just the craziest night. What happened was
I interviewed him at 8pm the he got baptized, then received the Holy
Ghost. Then he had a quick interview with the Branch President and
then came back and got ordained a Deacon, all within an hour and a half. It was awesome. And then to top his week off, on Saturday he went to
the temple to do baptisms for the dead. So that was super cool.

This past week we were able to meet a few awesome part member families. They are pretty solid. One of them came to church which was super sweet. We have met a lot of people who love the church and believe everything that it teaches. The problem is just that they work so much that it is hard for them to make it out to church. But God always blesses those who are willing to make the sacrifice.
This week I also learned that I am now the fat one of the apartment. All the other Elders are trying to lose weight and eat healthy. So whenever someone gives us a cake or something I have to eat all of it. But of course I am more than willing to help them out by eating all of it :)
Have a great week, Love y'all!
Elder Mackay
