7/23

Ok, well I guess I should tell you the transfer news first. I am staying as District Leader in Xalostoc with Elder Hernandez. So everything is the same. My district however got demolished. I have almost a brand new district. They also closed an area in the zone and so I got tooken away one set of missionaries to even it out. But it is all good.

 

We did not end up going to the temple for the session because the family had some issues with something. Not sure. But it sounds like most likely it will happen this week. Not sure if I am going though. We will see. I will let you know promise.

Yep Elder Oaks. The cooler thing is I think he speas spanish.

Yea
h actually we baptized him this week. And the even cooler thing about that is that the kid is so excited to change and be a part of the church. For starters. At his baptizm he told my companion that he wants to become like us, and so he wants to go on a mission. After he told us he wants to get into the ward choir and already wants to get involved in the youth program. So awesome. His baptizm was probably the best we have had in a while, too. The Spirit was strong throughout the whole service and we left feeling overly happy. I am beginning to understand the true meaning of that promise of how great will be my joy as I bring souls unto Christ. His name is Jose Luis, and his pictures is attached to this email. Probably one of my more favorite converts to this point.

 

Yeah, that big group of 20 went home this morning. Actually, regretably thinking about it, most of them are probably home and with there families. I got to know several of them in that group. And they are cool. But yeah one in particular is Elder Rogers. His photo is attached. He helped me realize a few thing and acted as my "Yoda" for being a leader. He is a cool dude. Haha. But yeah they are all gone now. The only adjusting President did was he closed a few areas were Elders were in a ward with 4 missionaries or more. so alot of areas got closed for this transfer until we get more missionaries. Which is like 17 or something like that next transfer.

Well. I tried to take care of myself mom. But the thing about being in a city so heavily populated is that you get sick quite easily. I got sick Wednesday night after the baptizm and have been sick ever since. Just a cold. But I lost my voice Friday night, all saturday, sunday and today. Today is a little better but still hard to communicate when you can hardly talk. So funny. Yet so frustrating. All at the same time. But ok. I am taking it easy no worries. Just a bit sick. Mad for a semi bad week. Being sick, and loosing your voice, makes missionary work quite difficult. Especially because the work is almost all talking. so funny but ok. Almost over it though.

 

Well, honestly that is it on news from me. The thing about this week is being sick has made it pretty uneventful. Oh! right before we left this morning we heard someone screaming outside. Well, it was a super drunk guy and he was just singing... it ws sooo funny. But yeah. That is about it. The rest of the week was uneventful due to my being sick.

 

Well. Hmmm... Ok. That is it. You guys take care and will hear from you next week. Love ya!
