Hola Todos!
We finished off the transfer pretty well. Lots of promising baptisms coming up in a couple weeks! Elder Brown and I will be staying together for another transfer, but a different elder will be district leader again.
I got some interesting paperwork this last week. I knew that they were coming because I've seen other elders get them. They're called Trunky Papers :P It's the paperwork that talks about preparations for my departure, including suitcase information, as well as a little piece asking for a couple quick pieces of information. I just completed 20 months in the mission today......It's going a little too fast. I'm celebrating though because I was walking around WalMart for the first time today, and on their "World Flavors" rack, I found Teriyaki sauce!!! Definitely taking advantage and testing out some teriyaki meatballs :P
I got to witness two baby blessings this last week. They were different blessings though. One was to a 2-week year old baby that was a little sick with pneumonia. I didn't get to participate in the blessing because of hospital regulations, but I was able to watch. The brother's reaction afterward was of gladness and surprise because he'd never given a blessing to a child that tiny before! The other blessing was the naming and blessing of the grandchild of a recent convert in sacrament meeting. I got to stand in on this one. The family is made up of a ton of converts and their testimonies are growing well in the gospel. It was a neat experience.
Last week I all-of-a-sudden realized that I'll be calling home in a week!!! I can't believe that snuck up on me so fast! We'll take full advantage of the opportunity!
Love you all!
