This week

Hey Everybody,

Once again, thanks for taking the time to read this letter.

This letter comes from a really distinct place; I'm writing from downtown Cuautla, from one of my favorite old cyber cafes from one of my favorite areas, Zapata. Mt comp is headed home in two weeks, so we got permission to take this p-day to head down to Cuautla and visit some of his old converts, and it's just been the most fun day ever. 

Aside from that, we had a crazy good week this week. We baptized two wonderful people, and we smashed our zone goal for baptisms this month, and frankly, we destroyed the record that has stood for like six years in this zone. So sweet.

We have an awesome zone. Even though we're not the best missionaries, we set prayerful goals as a zone, and worked hard, and we baptized 28 people this month (the record was 23 people in a six week span, and we beat it in four), and were absolutely stoked. 

We baptized two awesome people, Dalia Mendoza, and her nephew Miguel. Their baptism was really fun because we did it together with the sister missionaries who are in the other ward in our building, and they also baptized two people, so it was a big service and just really spiritual. I played the hymn "¿Donde hallo el solaz?" (Where Can I Turn for Peace?) on the uke in a special musical number, which was also really fun.

Dalia and Miguel are the first members in their family. We contacted them in their store about two months ago, and they have progressed incredibly. Now we're going to try to baptize the other family members. Their confirmation was really special as well, and I feel so humbled to be a part of it.

I have attached photos from the last couple of leadership meetings, the last two baptismal services that my comp and I have had, and photos of our shenanigans on divisions and just having lots of fun.

Anyways, those are all of the highlights from this week, I love you guys a lot, and y'all have a great week.
