Chapter 46: Another Baptism!

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

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 week! So we've been eating a ton of bananas, making banana smoothies, giving bananas to investigators and members alike! These bananas are super sweet and probably the best ones I've ever eaten in my life.

3 more baptismal dates!
We finally put up a baptismal date with Gloria, Mauricio, and their 13 year old son, Emil! (aka the Sanchez Family). Since Emil has already come to church several times and doesn't have any serious challenges or setbacks, we've scheduled his baptism for next Saturday! But his parents have to get married, which is quite the process out here so they're preparing themselves for baptism on the 29th of June!

Anyway we also had some other crazy experiences this week, one of which I'm not allowed to include in this email, ask my mom if you'd like to hear about it ðŸ˜‚
And I look forward to one more week of hard work in this area! (Transfers are coming, and my time in the office is running out).

Anyway I love you all, make good choices!

A pie that the Bishop's family from my last ward baked for me when they learned I was getting transfered! Me blinking in front of the Comayagua sign (ft. Elder Murray) Pics with my boy at the temple! (ft. my new suit) Food storage!   Hey guys! Kinda crazy how much the world has changed in these last 7 days. Here's what's new with me: Transfers: I'M FINALLY TRAINING A NEW MISSIONARY!!!! Woohoo! His name is Elder Nabaum, he's from Heber City, Utah. He's a great guy! I'm opening an area in a city called Juticalpa! It's really hot and humid here, but I'm loving it! We're assigned to a small branch called Belen (hence the subject line) and so far so good! We've still only met a few of the members (because thanks to Coronavirus, we didn't have sacrament meeting yesterday) but we're out here doing our best! I'm really happy and we totally called it this transfer! We've been predicting this transfer for a couple weeks now! What is wei...

District Pedicures My Companion and I experiencing a pedicure for the first time Elder Murray dulling our only good knife Celebrating my 20 months on the mission with Cinnabon William's baptism!   Hey guys! This week it was overcast and slightly raining for 3 days which made the weather not that hot for those days, so that was a blessing William's Baptism: Saturday was leap day we celebrated with a baptism!! Our boy William was baptized on Saturday, and even though he doesn't smile in any pictures, we promise he was really happy that day! He's such a wholesome kid and he's really smart too! This week we're going to teach him about the priesthood to prep him to receive the Aaronic Priesthood this week or next! District Pedicures: Our good friend Hermana Cox is ending her mission this week and may have convinced our whole district to get pedicures together... So I got my first pedicure this week. It was an interesting experience, but I don't think it was reall...
