Semana 70: Bautizar Bautizar

Image
Ayooo friends and family!! I can't believe I just hit 70 weeks in the mission. That is a long time. Two days ago I completed 16 months being a missionary and representative for Christ's church. That means I am 2/3 of the way done and I feel like I've done "ni un chile" but hurrah for Israel!!  Jumping pic for the memes Our family of 4 got baptized!!! Well, only three of them because the dad flaked out several hours before the baptism. Not gonna lie, I was pretty afflicted. Why is it always the dudes who flake out? Gosh. My companion called him and tried to convince him and the man just wouldn't budge. Then I called him and attempted to do the same. I testified, read parables, logically and spiritually proved the importance of being baptized in our church. He started to come around and the Spirit was convincing him... and then his phone died.

Semana 69: ¡¡OH SHIZ!! ¡IT'S A GHOST!

Semana 67: Transfers

Que dicen güeros Sorry for not sending another email last week my bad. I don't have any excuses. Ni modo Our Pdays have been getting pretty extreme not gonna lie. After the water balloons and fireworks, we decided to play the game called "huevasos". It's where you spin a bottle, whoever the cap points to picks up an egg while everyone runs for their lives and tries not to get hit. I got some pretty gnarly bruises on my back from getting pelted by eggs. An Elder accidentally pelted an investigator in the head with a egg and that got me so dead. The investigator keeps listening to the lessons and comes back every Pday so I guess it is fine.  Here is the difference between a Mexican and an American... it all started when we were playing wall ball (the game we all played in elementary school). An American missionary didn't catch the ball and started running towards the wall before he got hit. All the Mexican missionaries swarmed around him and started kicking his shin
