Hey all!!
So this week was pretty crazy not going to lie... We spent
all week working with a 22-year-old guy named Fidel and getting him ready for
his baptism! He was wanting to be baptized so bad so we literally taught him
EVERYTHING this week to get him ready... literally everything, like all of it…
it was crazy but we fit everything in this week and we had his baptism this
past week! So it was super awesome until none of the members showed up so it
was literally just a few of his extended family present... It was small but
super exciting and fun! And he is just so happy. It’s awesome to see the
changes we have seen in these people’s lives! Most of the people in this Indian
colony used to just drink and smoke all the time but now we call them up and
they’re like "yeah were just having family scripture study!" and it’s
like wow you guys are more righteous then I ever was!
But all has just been going so well! It was back in the 100s
this week so it was nice and toasty for us this week until it rained Friday. Like I love the rain and all and it gets me
kind of trunky for Oregon but what’s worse is when the sun comes out and it
heats back up to about 100 again and the humidity is just unbearable! But we
are lucky I think the risk of getting flooded out of our pension has passed so
hopefully we won’t have to move back in with our zone leaders!
But all is just so well!! I still get compliments from the
members about how skinny I’ve gotten so before you know I will be coming home
twig thin... that’s what eating rice and noodles every day and walking around
in the 100-degree weather does to the missionaries here in Formosa....
But have a great week! Miss you all!
Keep me updated!
Love

Sounds like all is well and a bit crazy back home... Rachel did
tell me about prom and how she was a drama queen about it... I don’t know Hermana
Wright... never even heard of the name but I’ll keep my eye out! I have never
met Sister Ballard before did she say her mission is as humble as this one is?
I bet she didn’t have very many crazy stories like I’m going to have....
We spent all week preparing for the baptism! We had only taught
him the Pan of salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ so we basically had to
teach him everything this week... Then he didn’t come to church Sunday, because
of a family emergency, so he didn’t get confirmed. So we might be getting a nice call from the assistants
here pretty soon.... and no one came to conference because it was far… and yeah
dad.... they just watched it from their tvs... because people have that stuff
here.
In terms of weather it was a fresh 104 out this week so we got a
little break from the heat!
Sounds like I’ve been missing a lot... Ashley wasn’t even
pregnant before I left and now all the sudden she’s a mom.... like alright....
and why am I missing so many sports stuff!! Like Golden State is going hard and
making history its fine.
But all is fine right now we don’t have any baptisms lined up
this week for the next. So, I think, we have a little break to go out and find
new people (if we are not too busy teaching the new convert lessons) but all is
well!
But all is good! I’m staying healthy but all the members are
still commenting on how skinny I’m getting! I don’t know what I’m at now but I
assume I’ve lost another 10 pounds since being here in Formosa... so that’s
about 30 since being on the mission...
But have a good week!
Love
Your hijito
