Chapter 86: I'm not baggy but...

...I only have 100 days until I'm home We've had a good week this week! Had five people we're teaching in church yesterday which is a new record in this area! It's always interesting to evaluate the different challenges in different areas, in my last area we could always get people into church (we'd literally bring them in by the truckful), but we'd struggle in getting them to commit to baptismal dates. Here, it's not so easy to get people to church, but we put our trust in the Lord and give it our best! But something that was really cool is that Yamilet and Rosy came to church! We met Yamilet about 2 weeks ago and have only taught her a couple times. On Saturday we went to teach her and we met her neighbor, Rosy and taught the two of them and invited them to come to church.

Hey guys! It's been a fun week but I don't have too much to tell.

It's been fun Getting the band back together: The APs did some interchanges with us this week, but due to some weird logistics Elder Murray and I were in a trio for a day with Elder Nolasco. For the significance of this reunion, please refer to Chapter 18 when Elder Nolasco, Murray, and I were all together in the same branch at the start of our missions. It was a good time. Iguana: The Hyde Family (Miguel's Family - see Chapter 79) killed an iguana this week and invited us over to eat Iguana Soup. It tasted like chicken! I don't have pictures because they haven't sent them to us yet, so maybe next week! Anyways that's all that I can think of for n...

He and I go waayyy back and we're good friends so we're really excited now that it's just the two of us to work hard and make miracles happen! Other news: FREDDY GOT BAPTIZED!!!
