Family and friends,
Wow! I have now entered the last transfer of the mission. Each transfer is 6 weeks so I figured I'll now just have the group email's title be how many weeks are left. It saves me a little time too haha!
It was a great week! We had Aracely's baptism on Saturday. She had asked me to do it so that was extra special! Then she was confirmed on Sunday in sacrament meeting. She really enjoyed the experience!! We're supposed to also have Francisco's baptism this Saturday. It is going fine but just last week he had lost his phone. His girlfriend who is a member had told us and she sent us his Facebook so we could try to get in contact with him there through his computer. That didn't really work. But just yesterday when we followed up with her she told us that he was there with her and we could do a quick video call! So we did and we were able to get back on track. He got a new phone so he gave us that number. We were really worried at first but now it should all be good. Last week was also a little more eventful than usual. An Elder in our zone got pretty sick. We got a call from them pretty late at night. Later our mission President told us to go over to their house. After we gave the Elder a blessing, my companion went to the hospital with the sick Elder and I stayed with his companion in their area. That was a pretty late night. Not quite as late as my companion who went with the Elder! They didn't get to bed until after 4:00AM. So that was rough. The next day my companion came back and switched with the sick Elder's companion. He got out of the hospital yesterday and he is back to normal so all is well! But since this transfer ended, I got a new companion, Elder Barraza from Sinaloa. He is great! It's just hard to believe that he will be my last.
That's it for this week! Take care!
