Week 68 (September 4, 2017) Labor Day

Well this week was definitely one to remember. First things first, the one girl in the picture is a baptism we had 2 weeks ago where I forgot my camera and a member sent me the picture, but she got confirmed on Sunday. 

Then this week we were able to baptize 5 more! It was so great! We had some good member support in the baptism and then the 5 were able to be confirmed the next day along with the other girl making it a total of 6 in one sacrament meeting!! It took forever but it was so great to sit there and be apart of that. I could definitely see the lords hand helping us to baptize them! 

Also on Saturday morning I got a call from the assistant that I would be receiving changes. I got put with Elder Green in an area called Veracruz, its near the canal and the beach. We eat a ton of fish in this area because most of the local merchants make their money fishing so its really cheap to buy it. Just today we had a zone activity and we bought 12 dollars worth of fish and it was enough to feed the entire zone. All 10 elders that we have. It was great! I'm looking forward to my time with Elder Green, even if he does go home this change, which ends in 3 weeks. Should be pretty fun learning a new area and having a comp that is cool. Its funny that I am his companion now because we have both had the same companions earlier in the mission and now me and him are together for just 3 weeks. It should be a great learning experience.

Hope all is going great out there!!!
