I need to tell a little bit about my area. My area is the land of the thousand churches. Not really, but there is a church on every corner. It is the gangster party of Oaxaca where we can't go up the mountain at night. My investigators are all super poor. Example, I asked if I could use the bathroom and because the house is a tin can, he just told me to pick a corner. But they are the sweetest family ever!! So humbling. Well actually we are teaching like 6 super cool families with 15 kids in each house. The main reason we are teaching them is the kids just love us. I think all these little kids just think I'm a giant teddy bear or something and always want to hug me haha. I actually learned to love my comp, and we actually turned out getting along a lot, and he was working as hard as I was, and I saw a change in him. Just another testimony that if you persistently love everyone, and are willing to change yourself you can get along with anyone, and they will love you back.
I had 4 baptisms this week, but in Bosque (my last area) the mom Juana, and her sweet 3 kids Carmen, Emileo, and Alex wanted to get baptized and asked me if I could do it. So I traveled back to my old area, saw all my old converts and members whom I love. The little girl who is 9 almost didn't get baptized because she was terrified of water, just like her grandma Mago (remember?) and we had another 4th quarter pep talk in the water. and it took 40 minutes, but she finally got baptised!!! WOOHOO :D awesome
love
