Hola Familia,
Ok, this letter is for my whole family! Thanks for the emails. So I had my first baptism this week and it was an awesome experience. She asked me to baptize her. I think because my compañero is so tiny she trusted me more. Ha! But it went well, the spirit was so strong. It was hard to remember the name too. Her name had 5 names and then I had to remember the prayer in spanish so overall it was scary but went really well. I loved every bit of it. I am sending a pic of it. The computers here are super slow so I am only going to be able to send one. Sorry mom, I know how you like the pics.
So me and my companion had our first problema.. He kinda treats me bad sometimes and it ticks me off. He will roll his eyes when I don't say something correctly or he treats me like a child. So I staight up had enough and kind of went after him about it and he has changed. I tried to think of ways I could help him. I have been studying more and focusing on learning the Charlas in spanish so I can help him teach better. So that has helped a lot. We have been really working hard after our little discussion. We have 4 new investigators and we are getting a lot of contacts. Sometimes I feel like I know nothing but that is straight-up satan trying to put me down so when I stay positive everything really goes great. I do know a lot but I have a ton to learn. I love this work and some days I feel like running and yelling it ¡El Evangelo es Verdad! (The Church is True!) Ha ha.
But everything is great, no sickness, no gang problems, nada. That is awesome about Chelsea and Derrick I hope all goes well and they have an amazing time going through the temple and getting sealed.
