Thank you for the package, i got it the other day we all appreciated it a lot so thank you mom. And yes i missed your awesome breakfast this morning : (. Well the baptism was the other day and it went great and she was super happy, this next week is another one and i get to baptize him. I am excited but also nervous, i have to do the prayer in spanish so we will see haha.
Well i dont have a lot of adventures really because not much has been going on. I had zone conference and that was really cool, the zone leaders and ap's talked to us and the mission president and his wife. I also saw Elder ****** and he seems to be doing good and was in a good mood so that was pretty cool. He says hi.
We don’t shovel too much, we did on the day we got a ton of snow and it took us forever to shovel out all of the cars, we also helped push people through the snow and stuff. But other than that not much has been going on at all. Just getting ready for the baptisms and running around getting those already as fast as we can.
Today is going alright, i had breakfast and then did some scripture study.. Well that’s about all that’s gone on so far, we will teach later and then we will teach a couple in Spanish so that should be good too. After that i am going on Trade-offs. Trade-Offs are when the District Leader goes and evaluates all the missionaries so he has to go with the other ones and one of my companions is the district leader so i have to do it a lot.
It’s warming up a little bit but not too much. Well for baptisms we just have to make sure everybody is going to be there and constantly check to see if people are willing to do talks and stuff. We also have to make the program and print that off, make sure the font is filled, hymn books are in the room, everybody is ready and get everyone seated and the meeting started. So yeah, that’s it. The chapel isn’t very far only a couple of miles.
Well I really missed the Valentine’s breakfast, it didn’t even feel like a holiday at all so that was interesting. Today I am in Hastings, Michigan on trade-offs. Today we just have some less actives to teach and one investigator then we are doing service at a soup kitchen and then dinner at a members house. We just fixed a flat tire by filling the hole and everything so that was pretty easy and fast. So that’s all for today.
