(On a side note here....Mom did send him an email....stayed up until 2am writing it!!!)
No email from the family this week kinda disappointing! I got the opportunity to step into the waters of baptism this week. I can´t explain how cool it was... One experience i´ll never forget. I told you the story of Miguel Casanova 2 weeks ago. The man we were led to find in Campo Papa (the really dangerous area we aren´t supposed to enter). He was baptized Saturday and asked me to baptize him. It was only 15 days since we had found him. How prepared by the lord he was! The whole experience with Miguel i´ll never forget. They are a very humble family, that live in even more of a humble circumstance. They live in a little ruin with a tin roof and dirt floors. Me and Chesley bought them a new copy of the bible in spanish and a BOM for him. They almost passed out when they saw it. It was like 2 diamonds to them. I was really worried about saying the prayer right and everything but the second i stepped in the water i was so relaxed and it just felt so right! In the dirtiest of dirty estansuela water Miguel came out clean and a new. ( really the water was so gross you couldn´t even see the bottom of the font, to think we´ve been drinking that. no wonder chesley was so deathly ill. haha.) Transfers are the 25th, so we´ll see if i get a new comp and if i stay in Trapiche or not. Kinda nervous about that! I sure had a lot of questions about some personal stuff last week that i didn´t get answered you´ll have to give me an update i was waiting all week to find out about scott, and especially andrew, and also if PJ came out ok. Its starting to get really hot here. The siesta has increased another hour because of how hot it is outside. Even the kids get out of school mid day then go back at night. We however, work through it :) Not the funnest, and like no one is outside to talk to and no one wants to open their doors during those 4 hours! We got together with the zone today in our pench and ate some authentic Peruvian food. Our disrict leader is from Peru and cooked us up a delicious dish haha. I lost another kilo last week. In all 6 kilos now... i dunno what that equates to in LBS anymore. Anyways i hope all is good. Some elders got some packages this week without paying! I guess the guy at the post office was in a real good mood. Pres Lindahl is in Buenas Aires with Elder Bednar right now! Kinda cool! He´s giving a special address to the people of argentina this week via satillite. The members are real excited, some members in our ward actually went through a session in the santigo temple with him. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh, another weird crazy cool coincedence. Ask Mike if he remembers an old companion of his Elder Garcia. We found a guy and started talking to him, turns out he´s a member and served in Bajia Blanca. Then to my crazy shock said he was companions with an Elder Nielsen in Bajia Blanca,and described Mike perfectly!!!!!! Same years too, crazy small world. Mike will have to email me! He was asking so many questions about mike, but how crazy. The opposite end of the earth and i find someone that knows my family. Crazy crazy! Anyways i suppose i´ll get going. I´m going to send a picture of the baptism, and me in my whites :) Love you all very much, stay safe and email me even if your in Disneyland.... im more important than Mickey Mouse..... :) Bye!
