HELLO FAM!!
What a great week I had!! Felipe got
baptized, I had changes, and I met an Apostle of Jesus Christ.
On Saturday we baptized Felipe! (it was my
b-day present haha) It was an awesome experience. His wife told us she hadn’t
seen him change like this in all her life. I pray that he will be able to move
forward with this same excitement all his life. The branch president baptized
him in freezing cold water. When we told him the water was cold he said,
"It doesn’t matter to me, I just want to be baptized!"
Tuesday I had changes. Four and a half months
I was in Solola. It was a great time up there. I learned so much and had
awesome experiences. I also got to meet and make friends with great people. It
was kind of a bummer leavin but it’s part of the mission. Now I’m in a
town called San Lucas Sacatapequez. It’s part of the zone Antigua Guatemala. My
new comp is from...you’ll never guess… MAPLETON!! His name is Michael McQueen.
Maybe you know some of the family? He is from the north end. We go home at the
same time.
Yesterday we had a conference with just
missionaries and Elder Quinton L Cook and some other General Authorities. What
an awesome conference!! I got to shake his hand and look him in the eyes! haha
It was awesome. It’s different meeting them in person than just seeing them in
General Conference. He is a normal guy that God has called to be an Apostle.
Well, a normal guy with a lot of faith. He talked to us about how we are
assigned our missions. Every Friday a couple of the Apostles sit down and look
at pictures of all the new missionaries and a list of where they need
missionaries. Then they follow the spirit and put us where we need to be. I
learned a whole lot in this conference. God truly has His hand in this work!!
Well that was my week in the mission! I’ll be sendin you some pics of my comp and new area. The pic I sent is from the baptism on my birthday. Thanks again for all the birthday wishes!!
Love you all!!
