Well all I can say right now is 9.

Maybe next week you will understand a little more haha.

This week was really hard, not for my comp but for the investigators. Everyone we had just practically aren't completing with their commitments and some don't want to be baptized anymore.

so just pray for the Moya family still. We want them to get married and at least the wife can get baptized. We hope so.

and well this week we are going to do a lot of changes and just try to find a lot of people that are ready.

Well thats it. Haha!

Love you guys!

Hoy!!!

This week we had changes and my new companion is Elder Villalobos. He is from Mexico and he is 18 years old.  He has been out 7 months and he is the kid of Elder Laing (means he was trained by Elder Laing).

It's going pretty good here in our area.  This week we started with 2 dates and now we have 7 and 3 for this week. :) So this week we will send a pic of the baptism of the family. :)

Well we don't got much time this week but it's going good and we should get another family to be baptized in the month of July. :) So pray for the family Moya and family Portillo. :)

Love you guys!

Well crazy week,

We didn't have the baptism....sad. We will see when we can get them to be baptized. Other than that we have changes. my comp is going to zone Molino and he is going to be with a friend, Elder Rivera.

I'm going to be zone leader again with a new zone leader but here in my area. We will see what we can do to change this area into a model area and work with the members good. Well, other than that I'm feeling better and not to sick haha. I am still working and everything. We will see if we baptize some more this next change. haha!

Dear family and friends,

Well this week was also a good week, because we had another baptism. The youth we baptized this week was someone who we talked with on the first day here in our area. It took really long to baptize him because his grandma didn't want to give the signature even though she is in charge of him. She said he had to talk to his parents who don't live there with him. Even though all of his family are members but inactive it was a little hard. But we finally got them to support him in his decision to get baptized and 4 of his family members were there at his baptism and one being his sister who isn't a member yet, but she goes to another church. But we will see if she wants to keep coming to church and would like to get baptized also.

Also, this week on Saturday, the day of the baptism. I woke up feeling a little bad and that day when I got done taking a shower I felt like I was freezing and all my energies were gone. So I went to bed and put my blanket over me but I still felt super cold. My comp got done getting ready and came over and asked me what was wrong and he felt my forehead and I had a fever so I just stayed there in bed with my  body aching and aching. So we just left in the morning to fill up the baptismal font and to visit one person and then I went to eat and then to the house to rest until the baptism, while my companion left with someone else to visit. Then when we got there to the baptism my hands started to itch a lot. So some members told me to take some pills so the itching would go away. Then later that night I talked to the nurses and they said that it looks like I have a case of Chikenguya. So I might have to go take some examines today to see if that is really what I have or if it's something else. But don't worry because they say that your body only hurts for 3 days straight and then it goes away! haha!

Also, we are planning on baptizing this week again so we will see how it goes and if she is all ready to get baptized, because she has to get married first to be able to be baptized. But her husband is really hard hearted. He is fine with her getting baptized but he doesn't want to stop playing soccer on Sundays to be able to live the day of rest and too be able to have an eternal family. His priorities are set upon the things of this world and it's going to talk many prayers to change his heart. So please pray for them and so he can change his mindset.

Well this week was a blast!!! I first went on Thursday to baptize one of the hermanas (sister missionaries) in our district and then on Friday was our dates baptism. It was so awesome to be able to baptize two days in a row. The baptism on Thursday was special because during the time when we were changing the stake president got up in front and talked to everyone there. He shared  a couple experiences from his mission and then he invited all the investigators there to take the same step. The step to be clean from their sins by being baptized, and all the investigators said yes!!!! It was pretty crazy!

Then with our baptism I almost slipped getting into the font haha but the best part was when his grandma bore her testimony. The spirit just filled the room so much and it was a great baptismal service. We had 3 investigators there and they all are pretty pumped to keep listening to us and prepare to get baptized.

This week we should have another baptism which is a huge miracle, because his grandma didn't want to give the signature but in the end after praying a lot and fasting he was able to get his dad to sign the paper, I know that the lord helped there. But after the next week we should baptize too.  So we should baptize 3 weeks in a row!!! Yeah! haha, but we will see how it goes!

Other than that, I got a package from my family. Thanks mom and dad!!! I love you guys so much!
