This week has been awesome! It's also been a little hard. The program in
the zone here requires that every lesson with investigators has a
member present. The problem is that the members are rarely available or
don't want to come with us. So that's hard. We've had to postpone a lot
of appointments. But we had 2 baptisms! Isabel and her daughter, Gaby,
both got baptized. Isabel asked me to do it, and Gaby asked Elder Jordan
(another Elder in our district) to baptize her. The bishop also
assigned me to confirm Gaby Sunday.
Honestly, there's not a whole lot more I can say about this last week. I
recently bought a pirated Adidas shoulder bag for 90 pesos, so that was
pretty awesome. It works pretty well for me. We only found about 6
cockroaches in our house during the entire week, so that is definitely an improvement.
I found out recently that Elder López (my trainer) is now District Leader. That's pretty awesome. He writes me in English to practice.

I recently recieved a birthday package which included a bunch of glow in
the dark stickers. So I put them on our ceiling in our bedroom in the
form a a baptismal symbol, to remind us of our goal of at least 11 more
by the end of this transfer.
Our investigators are doing well. I have seen quite a few miracles here.
Maribel (the wife of our recent convert, Jesus) has a sister who was
sick. Elder Macedo and I went over and they asked us to do
something. This woman was sick beyond belief. They though she was going to die. That day, we went over and gave her an anniontment and sealing (blessing of the sick with olive oil). She went to bed, and
when she woke up the next morning she was completely healed, as if she hadn't been sick at all. That made Jesus's wife open up a ton, and she is now listening to us and is letting her son, Chuyin, get baptized in 2 weeks. She will probably get baptized as well. I am convinced that was an oportunity God gave us to teach a lesson and gain another great investigator. He works in mysterious ways.
Well that's pretty much it. I wish I had more. We're expecting to have another 11 baptisms in the next 5 weeks, if we work hard. We'll see how it goes.
Well that's pretty much it. Sorry the letter is so short. Hopefully I'll have more to say next week.
