One of the best weeks ever!

This week ranked well on the Awesome Meter.

Well, this is the last week of the transfer. In one week, my companion, Elder Redd, will be on his way home, and I´ll be here with who knows who. 

 
















This last week went great. We spent most of the time visiting our recent converts, but we still had a baptism on Saturday! Probably the best one I´ve had on the mission so far! The baptism was of a guy named Pedro. He is nineteen and one of the coolest kids I've met. He lives in one of the richer parts of our area. He was a reference from the other elders. He was going to a different ward with his girlfriend, but to be baptized you have to be baptized in your area. So we marked a few days to go to his house and teach him. He knew everything! We talked for a bit and found out that he lived in France for the last six years...way cool. Anyways the baptism went perfectly. All of his friends were there, the baptismal font didn't give us problems, and me and my comp played the guitar and sang a hymn as part of his baptism. It just was great. The Lord has his elects ready, we just need to find them and help them. This week and this transfer couldn't have gone any better. 

Hope that all is great with you guys back home.
