Well, first things first, I got a new companion. Elder
Guerra. The brother of Lainey's new friend, Antonio. He's been out here for a
little over 1 year and 2 months, so he's got a bit more time than me. He just
came from the mission office where he was working as executive secretary for 6
months. So it was a little bit of adapting for him when he got here - it's a
bit different working out here in the field! But we're getting along really
well. He's a cool guy and it's good to be out here with him. Maybe in the next
couple weeks I'll send a picture if I can get a cable for my camera.
So last week I talked a little about Julia and how she went
to church for the first time and loved it, right? Well on Friday she went with
the youth to the temple. Obviously she couldn't enter, but she helped take care
of the garden outside a little bit with them, and then waited outside the temple
for them while they were doing the ordinances inside. She came back, and said
she absolutely loved it. She's super excited, already doing Personal Progress,
she has tons of friends in the Young Womens organization, and is just having a
great time. Her baptism is scheduled for this Saturday night! We're all really
excited for her.
Oh, and Sônia has decided that she's going to be baptized.
She got a new job where she is out of the house the whole week, and she
actually sleeps at the house of a lady that she is taking care of. She has
started not even sleeping here in Aracy. So she can be baptized at any point
now. We'll see how that goes!
There's a sister in our zone that might be going home this
week as well. Her name is Sister José. She's been having some health problems
and is not doing well at all. It's really sad to see her going through this as
she's a really nice person and a really good missionary. It's been really good
to have her here in this zone. Pray for her that she'll get better!
I think that's about all that happened this week. We ended
up working a lot in different areas this week, so not much happened here. Next
week should be more exciting with a baptism and with more good stuff! And we're
gonna eat esfihas this weekend as well! Wooooo!!!!
Love you all!
