The mission goes by way too quick. I just entered my second to last change, and can hardly believe it. Last change went by so quickly. Sheesh.
I got transferred to Lerma this change. Now the only zone that I haven't worked in in the whole mission is Lomas Verdes, out there in Naucalpan. I am also a zone leader now, and an intimidated one at that. The Zone currently has a lot of problems. Aaaaand I get to try and help fix everything. Woo!
My companion is Elder Alegre Soto. We worked together a couple of times when I was in my second change and he was in his first. We are going to work really well together. He is from Argentina, loves pasta, working, baptizing, and working with the zone. We are going to get along great. :)
Lerma is one of the three stakes here in the part of the State of Mexico that the mission contains. I have served in the other two (Toluca and Metepec). Lerma is really beautiful. Currently I live on a hill that overlooks the whole valley and the other two stakes, which is nice. There are two pit bulls on our roof that always bark at us. And the house is nice. It is probably my last area and my last house...
Next week I won't be writing you until Wednesday, because we have concilio with Presidente Whitehead and the other líderes de zona on Monday all day. It is always fun.
Hm. I got a haircut today. It looks nice.
OH. HUGE STORY from last night.
Elder Lara and I were with a member family saying goodbye for me and all of a sudden, at 8:30 at night, the sister missionaries from Atla (Hermana Drew and Hermana Soria) call me:
"ELDER WE HAVE A BAPTISM GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!"
And so we went with the members an hour over to their area to go talk with the investigator. She, Veronica, was going to get baptized but met up with some horrible opposition from her family (all of whom are members) and hadn't talked with the missionaries since. She is a single mom that lives with her family-in-law. We go, 9:30, talk with her. 10:00 we are in the chapel getting the baptismal font ready. 10:30 the font has about a foot and a half of water and we decide it will have to do for sake of time. 11:00 she and I are changed and we are having her sitting down in the water to just lay down she gets submerged completely. 11:30. After three tries she finally gets all the way under and we are changing. 12:00 a.m. I am home packing my bags to get here to Lerma today.
Gotta dash. Love you! :D:D:D:D
