Busy week and Transfers!!!

whats happenen Fam!! boy do i have much to say! Mom what really surprised me is how did you know i would take out my own stiches!? becasue i just took them out myself with a knife and a pair of scissors yesterday, but dont worry, i washed them first! haha. im still a little sick but im working it out with the doctor and already got my pills to help me! but everythings going good! 

i never had the time to tell you last week! we had a baptism of a little girl named diana, who her parent are less actives, so we have been teaching her for a while now. but last week was her baptism. her and another one of our investigators named jasmine got baptized too. but with diana, we had the program and everything, and when it was time for the ordinations, diana was super afraid of the water to the point where she was crying. her family was encouraging her and trying to comfort her but she did not want to get baptized because of her fear. after 10 minutes of trying to talk to her, i pull her aside, and talk to her one on one and she still was crying, but i asked her was was the thing she was most afraid of. i start talking to her more, and we decided to say a private prayer us to and in the prayer i blessed her with comfort and the knowledge that jesus christ was there with her to help her overcome her fear. when we said the words amen. the spirit just filled us two and she was ready, and pointed at my at my badge where it said Jesus Christ and i told her that Jesus Christ was there right with her, and as a representative of jesus christ, i sat on the bottom of the stairs in the water in my normal church clothes soaking wet while her uncle baptized her. these experiences i just love, when a person can feel the spirit of the lord and gives them comfort.

 the time beat me again this week but ill try to catch up next time

hey Fam! a continuation of this past week, boy was it amazing! like always! i have sure learned by now to not play with dogs down here! haha. this week has been our christmas week.  but starting this week we did service for the councelor of the mission president. presidente zapata because he lives in our area! but we went over there in the morning to cut trees, weeds, and clean the roof. i was in charge of the trees. i got to climb trees and cut branches with my machete while in the tree. you could say im yucateco. after asking permission, i got on the roof of the neighbor to cut the rest of the tree. the son of the president, ex missionary, helped be guide the branches as they fell, but i cut one branch and it fell on the water pipe of the neighbor and it broke. but luckily, im an eagle scout and i worked with water pipes and stuff thanks to Dave Lupton, i told the sister what we needed and i fixed the pipe right there! but also luckily it was an easy fix! also this family zapata has there own buisness with icecream that they make and boy is it super delicous!!! haha. this week we also did divisions with onother elder from california! so that was fun!
