Lets Goooooo! Hola mis amigos, Ok so this week honestly was kind of just like a normal week. We contacted a lot of people and just talked a lot to people. I am trying to learn my area as fast as possible. Its super hard because my area is massive, we combined two areas into one and that makes my area of Junchavin. But it means that there is so much potential. But we are working slowly but surely. I am now the senior companion, which means I have the responsibility of the area and to make sure that we are doing what we need to be doing. But I also found out that I am going to be district leader, which means I am the leader of about 4 different areas. Hahah I am a little stressed but I am also so ready to help the people of my district. We had a baptism of Jose this week. He was the last member of his family to be baptized but he was so happy to be baptized and it was so amazing!! I was able to share a short talk about the importance of the holy ghost!! ...

So here, eat this. . . . Hola mis amigos!!!! Yet again I am sorry that I haven't written in a while....... I am not the best at it. But lets just say this week was one for the books. First of all we had the baptism of Bryan! The 10 year old that is a better member than I am!

He was baptized yesterday and honestly almost the whole ward went, so I am going to take my name tag off and just hand it to him. One freaking crazy adventure this week was planning for the baptism. Us and the sisters had an appointment in the church. So while we waited we checked the font to see if we needed to clean it. Welp my good people that thing hasn't been cleaned since DECEMBER!!!! So it was cover in dirt, the water was about a foot tall (The draining system does not work.....gotta love Mexico). We tried draining the water but yeah nothing. So we were trying to figu...

Service Gets Your Wallet Stolen Hola Mis Amigos!!! Hows everyone's week going! Well this week was crazy like always haha. I just have a couple stories. One, we are teaching this youth named Angel. He was actually baptized before I got here but not confirmed. So we had to keep teaching him till he got confirmed. But one day we got to his house and him and his younger sister had no food or water. So Elder MAcedo said we would go buy them some. Which I dont know if thats allowed, but hes the trainer so I followed. We left our stuff there. When we came back our stuff was outside the house, when we left it inside. So we left and then went to buy some water for ourselves because its hotter than hades here so we sweat a ton and drink a ton too. We went to get his wallet and it wasnt there. So we checked the house and the other stores. And then realized that Angel or someone in his family stole my companions wallet. Haha we hope he didnt but we are pretty sure he did. Se...
