Hey yo this will be short but don´t worry it
will also be good!
So we had four
baptisms this week, and I was the only available leader to go to all of them on
the same day, and they were all over the zone! On top of that I was called to a
leadership conference in the morning. So
we drove to Valsequillo, and then spent 5 hours talking about leadership. Then we busted our butts back home to get to
the first 3 baptisms (which started late), and then we headed to the other
area´s baptism. This time we took a
taxi. Except the taxi driver had absolutely
no idea where anything was. So we had to
guide him through crappy dirt roads until we finally got to the other
baptism. Guess who was there? The whole freaking ward was waiting for us to
arrive. We finally arrived and started the baptismal service, and my son
baptized!!!! It was so good to see! I loved the services, but it was such a
busy day.
That was a quick story
of a fun day not gonna lie. But yeah
this next week we will be able to focus more on our own area thank goodness.
Also, super sick to
know my old climbing coach has been called to my same mission! We await you
here Taisha!
Also, not gonna lie --
a highlight of this week was to hear that the Eagles beat the Patriots. That is a good thing to hear always. Always.
Not gonna lie—I have
no more time. So I love ya’ll.
Stay solid and stick to the scriptures.

NO MANCHES
This week was just
crazy!
We started the week
off sick. After all of that time in the
house and I finally get to start working again and I get sick.......... but, I
did not want to stay in the house. We worked and worked and worked!!!!! I
was so sick with my stomach. It
just ached all of the time. One day after the comida we had an appointment.
We were on our way to the cita (appointment) and my stomach just ached and
ached some more. I was in
so much pain until I could not walk!Then I start
walking really fast but the stomach pain goes away and I got sick on the side
of the road. We had to get home fast so
I could change. We stopped a taxi to take us to the house. I leave the
taxi when we get home and I just open the door and run in the house. The
taxi driver asked my companion dude what was your companion recovering
from??????? It was awful.........
Then the next few days
we just worked and had a ton of success! If everything goes
right we should have about 6 baptisms in Fresnos before I
leave!
Later in the week
Elder Guerrero got so sick that we had to stay in the house all day on
Sunday. Ugh !!!!!!!! But I needed that day because I was just
exhausted!
Also today we played
soccer. I wore my Barca (Barcelona) jersey to the game and everyone saw
me and started to scream: “Iniesta”! (Who just
happens to be a professional soccer player).
It’s kind of cool because we look a like. I think it is very funny.
We had a great week of
work even though we were sick. I can’t
wait for all 6 of these baptisms!!!!!
Prayer List:
Miguel- so he can get baptized 27
Silvia y
familia- They can listen to us and get baptized
Sergio y Maria y
familia- To get baptized
