Well, it´s official. Today I received my companion who is going to ´´kill´´ me!
That´s right. Elder Housley has been changed. He went to the main part of Quito, and I received Elder Montalvo from Guayaquil as my companion (it´s already been raining on us!). It´s going to be a great transfer! We have a lot to do, and a lot of people to get baptized!
On Saturday E got baptized (the one in white!). We were happy about it, but his mom and his sister were even happier (the ones off to the right). They´ve been waiting a long time for that, and I´m glad we got the job done. Some of our other investigators seem to be missing in action, so this week we´re going to go seek them out. We had a couple at the baptism though. Off to my left are F and D. F is an inactive member who reactivated himself about a month ago. He just showed up to church, asked us to visit him once in a while, and asked the bishop for some kind of assignment. He´s been a great help to us lately. D is one of our investigators whose friends invited her to church. She´s all ready to be baptized, except her mom is very evangelical and is very much against it. She won´t give her permission to get baptized, but that´s not too much of a problem because she turns 18 soon, so she won´t need permission. D and S are kind of missing right now, but we´re going to find them.
Apart from that... we had our zone conference this last week. Good to see a lot of old friends. I got to see both of my old greenies, who are both doing great. A lot of missionaries are going home today, which makes my group the oldest in the mission. It´s kind of weird, but I just try to ignore it and go about the day just like normal. It´s been a lot of fun, and thank you everyone who sent packages this last week! Specifically Grandma and Grandpa Dana and Sister Willis (and all the people who wrote on the pillowcase, tell Suzie Whiting that I´ll do my best to get her address circulating throughout the mission :) ). Thanks for everything, and talk to you all next week!
