Hey Guys!
This week was one of the busiest weeks of my life! I've
never had to run so much in my life! We've been running, working, racing to
beat time. This week went by SUPER fast. We had a baptism this week. I don't
know if I mentioned him in earlier letters, but his name's Mainor Cac. He comes
to church in Puerto Barrios from Livingston, and one day, when I was with elder
Santos and elder Elkins, he just showed up to church! So we invited him to be
baptized right then and there, and he said, "Well, I would like to. No
one's ever given me the opportunity before." :D so he was baptized last
week.
This week, we had a trainer's reunion in ZACAPA, my first
area! I was super hyped to see it all again, and when we got there, it was
nice. The streets I had seen were the exact same, the buses costed the same,
the sun was just as strong and it was just as hot as it was before. We went to
the chapel and got ready for the reunion, and while we're waiting, in walks
Elder Flores from the Dominican Republic, the first elder I ever trained! All
my mission family was there!
This is my family! Look:
Starting from the left to the right:
Elder Reyes: my fourth trainee(son)
Elder Reed: me
Elder Flores: my first trainee(son)
Elder Wells: second trainee of Elder Flores (grandson)
Elder Dunn: first trainee of Elder Flores (grandson)
Elder Villagomez: trainee of Elder Dunn (great-grandson)
I feel old...
But it was super cool to get the family together. Those guys
are all super cool. They're all great missionaries and are working super hard.
Either way, I'm out here loving life. Don't have too much
more to say for this week, other than that it's super cool to be able to work
with someone and watch them prepare to be baptized, and then do it because they
really want to.
