So here's a summary, well to be honest I don't even know where to start. We had a baptism planned this week for the stud that's
in one of those pics. He's awesome, but he didn't feel ready so we didn't do it. We went with a bunch of young men in the ward to visit him and he got stoked. But at the end of the day he said he wanted to wait. So instead we took him to the baptism of a few other people that got baptized on Saturday. It was funny, when we showed up he goes "so if i wanna get baptized right now can i do it?" he was just kidding but you could tell that he saw how incredible the experience was.

We also had an interchange with the elders from San Felipe. I was with Elder Turley again after 9 months. That was a good time, he's still a baller. I also found Brother Edson, my first ward mission leader that i had in the whole mission. He lives in San Felipe now so he came out to visit people with us!! It was a good time!!
We did baptismal interviews for a family of three and that was a great experience. I love doing these interviews because it's a great chance to be able to see one on one how the gospel has already changed their lives.
At the end of the week, right after lunch we got to our appt and my stomach started killing me. Like bad. I didn't know what it was but it was BAD, so I asked my comp to give me a blessing, then i went and laid down for a sec. When it was time to head out i was feeling a bit better so we went to the visits we had. Everything was fine. Then at 1am I woke up with the same pain but it was worse, I was having a hard time breathing and it was really killing me haha. I asked for another blessing and since I couldn't sleep with the pain i grabbed my Book of Mormon and my flashlight and started reading in my bed (to all the return missionaries I know it sounds like apostasy, but the pain was BAD and there wasn't anything else to do) anyways so I started reading and really studying the words of Alma. I felt the power of the blessing that my comp gave me, the power of the faith I had in that moment, and the power of the Book of Mormon. It was a great experience and I'm all good now.
Things are going really well and I'm living the dream, sure love you!!!!
