Hello There.
Hey everyone. What's happening? I'm just here in Cali, Colombia - ya know the drill. So this past Saturday we had a baptism service! We
worked and stressed and all that, but we ended up baptizing 6 people! 4 from Elder Cartes and I, and 1 from the zone leaders who we share a ward with, and 1
guy named Carlos that wasn't kinda a joint baptism I guesss haha. We baptized
Octavio and his wife Carmen, and Carlos from Spain had the opportunity to baptize
his wife. That was really cool. We also baptized Sebastian. He's 17. A good kid for
sure. The next day, Sunday, it was raining a lot, but everybody made it to the
chapel, and we confirmed them all. I got to baptize Hermana Carmen, and got to
stand in on a few of the confirmations. Super cool stuff. It's been pretty
stressful lately, but that was great to see. I hope and pray everyone of them
will continue and grow in the church and not fall away. We also received news
last night about transfers. My companion, Elder Cartes, will be leaving tomorrow
morning (Tuesday) at 7 in the morning. We completed a little over 3 months here
together in Limonar. My new companion will be Elder Caja. He is from Peru. He has
about 16 months in the mission. This is somewhat my area now, and the stress that
comes along with it because my comp won't know the area haha. Also we baptized
our investigators, so now we will have to start new and start finding
investigators and try and build up and investigator pool. Prayers accepted :)
Today for p-day we have been doing a few things to get ready for tomorrow. We went
and ate at McDonald's for lunch. I had a big mac and fries. haha I don't ever get to
eat food like that - ever! Now after this, Elder Cartes wants to go say goodbye to
everybody he knows haha - but its all good. Anyway, I love you all and I will be
grateful for your prayers. Until next week- with a little more info about my new
companion and all that jazz! Ciao!
