Week 19

 Don't have much time but I'll give you a quick run down!


-Elder Willardsen and I took a photo shoot on pday and we got some cool Christmas pics

-got to my new area and met comp Elder Thompson, it turns out he is my comp and Presidente changed it again!!!

- The area is nice and we had nobody to teach so we just started to find a bunch and get to know the ward members. 

-Carmelina from my last area had a baptism and she didn't want the new missionary to baptized her so I drove up there and baptized her!  It was the coolest experience on the mission. She recently had a hernia surgery and she couldn't walk for about a week and a half.  But when she was able to walk, she immediately told us that she was ready to be baptized!  Since she was barely able to walk we had to be really cautious in the baptismal font.  So my old comp (Elder Willardsen) helped her lean backwards to get baptized.  So all 3 of us were in the baptismal font together and it was so cool because Carmelina calls me and Elder Willardsen her niños and we are as tight as family now!

Elder Willardsen and I met Carmelina our second day together, so we spent a whole transfer teaching her. Then she knew by the spirit that she needed to get baptized!!!  The Lord provided and here we are!

To see the changes in Carmelina in these 6 weeks was more than special.  
Right before the baptism she told me and Willardsen that on our first visit when we asked her to pray about our message, that she did and she recieved an answer!!!!!

Brothers and sister, the gospel is true, I have no doubt in my mind.

   This is gonna be a long one... This week was very busy.. Monday was pretty normal.  Tuesday we had Zone Conference and I got to direct the meeting which was pretty cool.   Wednesday we had Zone Council. My companion and I taught our zone about the things we learned in MLC last week.  After that we had exchanges with La Victoria. I went with Elder Mortensen. Lit exchange, we had fun out there.   Thursday we exchanged back and we had some really long morning lessons.  We didn't get back  until 2pm  (lunch is  from 12-2:30 ). So we only had lunch for 20 minutes until we had to go to work again. Later that night the APs text us and tell us that the President wanted to do MLC AGAIN on Friday.   It was a pretty good MLC. We made good plans for our Zone. Then Pres bought us all Wendys🤝. Pres left early from The meeting and all of us debated about changing P-day and weekly planning day. It was pretty dope. We got bac...

  Wepa! Lots of contacting this week A lot of our old friends that were progressing towards baptism stopped progressing.  So that sucks.  But it's ok because we found a few diamonds in the rough this week!   Thanks to everybody who wished me a happy birthday last week it really meant a lot to me!  This birthday was really good.  I ate a dozen krispy kreme donuts and some hamburgers🙌🙌. We got robbed again!!  Homie just keeps playing with us.  This time he took my phone and some other stuff from the other missionaries.  That's the 4th time this has happened lol. Ricardo could not get baptized this week but we're getting there!! I took a bunch of  pictures this week but the phone got robbed so they got lost. We're going to the temple this week!
