Hey everyone,

So this last week was really great, the other elders in the ward had a great baptism on Saturday, they baptized a family similar to Andres and Bielka. But then the next day in church the bishop interviewed Andres and the father of this other family and the both received the Aaronic priesthood. I was really excited. Also Andres and Bielka are getting started on their family history work so that they can go to the temple and do baptisms for their own family in March. So I was just really excited for that. 

The other really big thing that happened this week is that I got transferred to a different area, I am now in Licey and my new comp is Elder Shultz, he's a super cool kid from Arizona and he’s pretty new in the mission as well, I’m only his second comp. But I’m really excited to be able to work with him and find and help some new people here in Licey. It should be a lot of fun.

But that’s really it for this week and I hope that all of you have a great week and I’ll write you again next week.

Hey everyone, everything is going great and I’m having a ton of fun right now. We were able to baptize Andres and Bielka last week and it was super great, probably one of the best baptismal services I’ve ever been to. The other elders in the district and I sang a special musical number “Love at Home”, because its Bielka's favorite, and it went really well. It has been a great blessing being able to find and teach them.

Elder Henze and I are starting to have a lot of success, the other family we were teaching, Jeremias and Leidy, kinda fell off the map and few weeks ago because we weren’t able to find them. The moved and neglected to tell us their new address, but the other day we got a text from Jeremias saying that he really wanted us to come over, and gave us his address, so now we´re working with them again. It really made me happy to find them again and that they still want to learn. And another great thing about that is now they live right by the chapel and it’s going to be a lot easier for them to come to church. A 2 min walk is much better then a 45 min walk ha-ha. Don’t ya think?

But everything is going great with me and I hope everything is great with you guys, have a great week.
