Transfer Week

Well its the last week of the transfer and there will be transferências. I know that I will be getting a new companion obviously because my companion will be going home! We have to go to meetings every morning this week. Im not really ecited because its really far away from our house. Its about an hour on the bus and the bus is PACKED full. It gets to a point that there is no room to move your arm. Its not that great of a feeling. On the bright side, we will be going to returaunts to eat all week long:)

This week was really cool. On saturday we were able to baptise two Young men, Sonny and Marcos. They are really good guys who love when we teach them. They fight nonstop about who will be saying the prayer because they all want to do it. I was honered to baptise Sonny and a member baptised Marcos. It wasnt that great of a meeting. it started really late and none of the members showed up but all in all it was great. Marcos was so excited that he wore his baptism clothes for like two hours before it started. haha. They walked to the church (like 45 minutes away) and arrived two hours before it started haha.

We had a small Thanksgiving celebration. We bought two big pizzas and some soda. Everyone was stuffed by the end of it. Like Always, we kept the tradition and we all took turns stating why were greatful before we ate:) It was a nice dinner.

Our zone is continuing to be awesome! We have been baptising for the last 6 weeks and every área Always have investigators at church. I was able to do a division with Elder Cox on Friday. it was really fun to work with him before he goes home! We were able to prepare for his baptism and work a bit in his área. I did a contact that turned into a lesson and we invited her to be baptised. It was a really good lesson. I like being at the mission home but its really busy there! There is Always something going on.

Anyways thanks for everything and I hope that you all have a great week!

The cleanup crew:  The hose on the washing machine was kinked.  When I unkinked it, the hose exploded and flooded the house.  We didn't have the key to turn the water off.  It took me about 20 minutes to repair the hose.

The solution to the problem

BYU always saves the day!

Less active members of our ward.

This is how we celebrated American Thanksgiving!

Guess which half is mine.....the unhealthy half of course, with all the bacon ;)

At our Thanksgiving "pizza" feast, we all took turns saying what we were grateful for.

Waiting for the baptism to start.  One of the elders looked out the window to see if anyone else was on their way.

Marcos and Sonny, two great young men!

I was really happy to baptize Sonny!

I pranked Elder Roberts by throwing an empty egg at him.

I have a video and may be able to send it next week.

Family night with some investigators.

Some really nice souvenirs I bought for the chimarrao drink.

The silver utensil is a straw, with a holder for the herbs.
