Campos2 - Week Ten


Hey mom. This week was pretty good. A few cool things happened this week. We caught a rat in our room at night so we hunted it. It was pretty small and he was trying to live in one of my suitcases that I always left open under the bed. That was interesting.

The best part of the week was definitely Sunday. The rest of the week didn't really stand out that much. We have been working with Elba and her family for some time now, and 5 of them were supposed to be baptized on Sunday. We were there on Saturday and they had two people there that were trying to talk them out of it, basically. But Elba had her mind made up that she was going to do the best thing for herself and for her family. But we walked away from that lesson feeling really down. Sunday morning came around and Yara, the daughter who is pregnant, was having some pains so she didn't go. Mariana didn't go either, but all the others did. That made me really happy. So, we started filling the font before church started. But everyone forgot about it . . . so it started overflowing and going into the hall. Haha Oops. During sacrament meeting I sang. There is a member here that lived in Canada for a long time, and he plays the piano really well. I sang "Where Can I Turn for Peace" and it turned out really awesome. I should have had my comp record it or something. But everyone liked it. After church and some complications, the baptisms happened! Felipe, who we reactivated, helped and baptized the youngest. He was really excited and happy to be a part of it because it was his first baptism.

In the end it turned out all right. =) Another happy day on the mission.


I also got the news of transfers last night. I'm going to be here in Campos for another 6 weeks with my current companion, Elder Diego. I'm glad that I'm going to keep my companion, but not all that excited about staying here. But that's okay because if I'm here then that's where the Lord needs me the most and it's where I still have work to do.

I love you all, thanks for all the support. I’m trying my hardest and giving all that I can, even when I'm almost exhausted every day. Haha

Love you guys!
