This
last year was amazing. Graduated from high school and all the good stuff
that comes with that and so much stuff has changed in my life from then
until now. This time of year´s been really good to think about all the
blessings I've had in this past year and recognizing these blessings
also helps me recognize the blessings that I have right now in the
mission. I loved this past week! We have been working with a family
that´s gone through a lot and have been prepared by God for us. They
were ready to change when my companion and his old companion found them
and they were looking for the path to take that would help them. My
companion´s old companion knocked on their door, and set a baptism date.
They kept that date for 5 weeks, going to the church and keeping all
the commitments for 5 weeks. And they finally got baptized this week.
It was really really chaotic, but they got baptized. The day of their
baptism, we were gonna go to their house, but we couldn't and we called
them and they told us that they were already on their way. We were so
happy and excited, but when they arrived, only 3 of the 4 that were
supposed to be baptized came and the other said that she was sick and
didn't come. At this time, the mission president is also doing
interviews, so I´m in the interview and I get out and all this has
happened and my companion went to go see if he could bring the other
person to the baptism. She didn't come. But the next day, Sunday. she
was ready to be baptized. It was mostly a lot of work because we had to
heat the wáter because they said that they wanted warm wáter... haha. So
we were at the church for 5 hours boiling wáter and heating wáter for
them, and the one that wanted it the most didn't get it because she got
baptized the next day... Haha. This week was fantastic. I hope that
everything´s good for you! Love ya all!

There was no explanation with any of the pictures. He just sent a bunch! I know the bright yellow walls are the shack they live in.
