Sigo en Valle Sagrado!!!

Well this week is full of news!!!!

I DIDN´T HAVE A TRANSFER!!!! I am still here in Valle Sagrado Ward and gonna be here for another transfer! I am going to end the training of Elder U. and then leave. I already have six months here and I am going to end with seven and a half months in the area. Crazy stuff. That doesn't happen often! I am really happy to be still here because I love this ward but it is going to be hard. I like changes. I like new things. And now that I already know pretty much everything in my area its gonna be hard to find new exciting things to do. But we will be creative!!! Elder U. is learning and progressing really well. I am really proud of him and he will be a great missionary in the future.

The next big news is that we had a baptism this week of a girl named B. and the mission president came as a surprise! I have invited him a lot of times to come to our baptisms but he has never come. But on Saturday the assistants called me in the morning and asked me " Elder do you have a baptism today?" Yes... Okay President is going to come to your baptism today. oh.... okay!!!! Haha it was great. I don't have the best relationship with President but it was really nice to have him come and recognize the work we are doing. I am really thankful for him and the support he has given us. He shared some really cool things with the Family of B. and he helped them understand the importance of baptism. They are really Catholic and a little hard hearted. We are working with her Dad and her sister. Her mom was baptized last month and her Dad says like next year he will be baptized. But we are working hard with him so that he can join as soon he can.

Right now in my area we don't have a lot of investigators that are progressing quickly, which is kind of rough because right now we don't have a baptism planned for right now and well, I like baptisms!! ahah. But we are working with one sister that I think that she is going to be baptized this week. She just needs to read a lot of the book of Mormon. The other Elders in my district have an investigator who has a goal to finish the book of Mormon before her baptism which is in two weeks and she is in like Alma 40. It is crazy!!! She reads a ton. I have never seen an investigator like that super awesome!!!

This week was a good week. I just need to keep up my excitement to keep working even if I've already been everywhere in my area. I got your package of letters!!!! Thank you so much that will definitely help me out a bunch.! Thanks for sending my so many things and helping me out so much!!! I love you guys!!!!!

Les amo muchísimo!!!!
