Two weeks to go

Hello everyone!

So the big news from this week is that Nallely got baptized!!!! It was so sweet. She didn't pass her interview until the evening of Friday night, so we had to arrange everything in a few short hours and baptize her the next day. It was so sweet. The ward all came together, and they helped us produce a sweet musical number of Peace in Christ, from mutual. It was so cool. My comp baptized her.

Then that Sunday, the sisters from the other ward had a baptism, and my comp did the baptism. It's cool to be able to take part in so many. We are having tons of success here in the zone, and in our area, and we're working really hard, and we're really happy.

Right now I'm writing from Cuautla, here visiting my old converts from Cocoyoc, Brisas, and Zapata, and it's just great. I love everyone so much. I'm gonna send a bunch of photos.

We're playing basketball every morning, and I'm getting a lot better. We're gonna have our mission-wide sports tournament next Monday, so we're stoked practicing in the mornings during our exercise time.

Aside from that I'm just preparing the last couple of things, trying to work hard in my last two weeks to do all I can and finish strong. It's incredible.

Other cool note is that Elder Bednar is going to visit our mission on the 25th, and then we have a special stake conference with him on the 26th, so I'm gonna receive tons of cool revelations from his talk literally like three days before I go home. It's going to be awesome.

I love you guys a ton. I hope y'all have a great week.

Super good week!

Hey everybody!!!!

So this week we had the baptism of Elizabeth and Jesus, and it went super well!!!! I'm really excited. We have been working with them for several weeks, since I was with Elder Peralta. Their baptismal service was really spiritual. I baptized Elizabeth, and their close family friend, Brother Geronimo baptized Jesus. It was really cool. I played a special musical number of "Nearer My God to Thee" which was cool as well. They got confirmed on Sunday, and everything went perfectly. They have huge testimonies, and it's just awesome. They want to get sealed in the temple in a year!

Aside from that, we have a great investigator named Nayeli who should be getting baptized this week, and another investigator named Bryan who should get baptized next week. So please keep them in your prayers.

Today, with some other elders from the zone, we watched the movie "Ephraim's Rescue." It's a really good movie about the handcart companies, and I really liked it. It was really nice just relaxing and chilling with friends.

We worked really hard this last week, and we found several families that look really good. I love this work with all my heart. I love seeing people live the gospel. I'm going to miss it a lot.

Other highlight from this week is that I have some new dress shoes to wear to my final interview, and on the plane ride home. Same with a new belt. They look sweet!

Anyways, the photos I've included should be from the baptism. I love you all a ton.
