Me taking out the trash after a multizone conference a couple weeks ago We were visiting a less active family, and their son wanted to show us his pet turtle! Banana smoothies with Elder Sanchez A poor-quality photo of a gnarly rainstorm from a few days ago. It's been raining  a lot Me and my old comp, Elder Nolasco reunited at a multizone conference Hey guys! It's been a great week! A baptism! This morning we had Amy's baptism! It was awesome to see how she has been preparing and also how much her family has been working hard to become active in the Church again! It was really special to see how her father, Hernan has been working hard to be worthy to baptize his daughter, and there was such a sweet Spirit in the baptismal service! Tomorrow she'll be confirmed a member of the church! Go Bananas! We cut down the bananas from our banana tree in our backyard a couple weeks ago and all of a sudden they were all ripe this w...

It's been an interesting week! A few scattered thoughts: -This last week Elder Sanchez and I put up a baptismal date with Amy Diana, the sweet daughter of an inactive family we've been working with -I got sick on Monday, I'm mostly better now, but my nose has been running almost non-stop for three days now, so that's annoying -Even though this area was a struggle for me in the beginning, and I spent my first two transfers here missing my little pueblo of La Esperanza, I'm really going to miss this area when I get transferred in a couple weeks -I'm starting to think a 5th transfer in the office wouldn't be the worst thing Multizones: Two weeks ago our mission president went to Guatemala for a training meeting with all the mission presidents in the Central America Area, and these last couple of days we've had our multizone conferences where President shared a lot of things they talked about in the President conference.

Chapter 43: Post Transfer Stress

Sorry for not writing last week, I forgot to do a general email. Two weeks ago we had transfers! It was insane because 5 missionaries left and 19 came in! Also, we had an emergency change of venue for the training meetings with the new missionaries because they were painting the chapel in the building we normally hold it in! (the stake president forgot to mention that bit when he gave us the keys to the building). But overall the transfer went well.

Last Saturday night we got home and realized that we didn't have any investigators committed to coming to church, which is not a great feeling, but then when we showed up to sacrament meeting t...
