Week 70 (September 18, 2017)

Alright this week was killer. We just put in work. We didnt have a baptism this week but are planning 3 for the coming week. 

The Elders that we share the branch with had a baptism this week and to help them out we went and filled the font, but it was taking forever so we left it on and left, only to some back and find the chapel flooded. It wasn't a ton of water and we were able to clean it up pretty fast but it was a hassle to have to clean all of it up haha. 

This week we had interviews with president, he told me that this change with my companion going home that he is going to close the other part of the area and leave it with me and another comp, I don't know all the details all I know is that my small area is about to get a lot larger. 

Also today being P-day we had to do something big. So we woke up at 3am and went and hiked this huge mountain in our area. It was crazy!! Pitch black!! We went with the other elders in the branch and some recent converts and a returned missionary. It was so much fun! Rained most of the way up, but we eventually got above the clouds and were out of the rain. To get all the way to the top we had to chop at this 10 foot tall grass and just push our way through. It was exhausting but so much fun. we reached the summit around 9am and then got back down around 1pm. I'm completely dead and in need of a nap but we already have visits waiting for us today. Its been a great week and I'm sure the coming week is only going to be better!!!

Hope all is well at home!!
