Hey Friends and Family!
Well been a great week out here in Arraijan and super fortunate to be here again. My companion Elder Garcia is 23 and a convert to the church of about 4 years and was baptized without his family support. He still managed to get on a mission thanks to a branch president. He's from a little city in Colombia called Armenia . He's very humble and a great worker and has a nice little lazy eye to top it off. Great guy and great person to end my mission with. Area is by far the richest I've been in. I'm sure that its nothing like the states rich, but they are living perfectly fine. That means two things- people are hard to contact and prideful, but when you find them the right ones they are soooo nice and 2- Awesome members. So its been a different kind of work with more with member references and incomplete families but its been good so far. Miracle happened this week when a girl walked by and asked if we could go to her house. So we went the next day and she's 19 years old and said that she had gone to church for three years but couldn't get baptized before because her mom wouldn't give her permission until she turned 18. So sadly she stopped going until she felt the impression to talk to us this last week and now we will be having her baptism shortly. So that was awesome and we are also waiting on a family of five to get baptized in the upcoming weeks.. Hopefully before I leave! They are soooooooooo awesome and just in the marriage process and when they do the parents and the kids ages of 20, 17, 14 will also join them. I'm sooo excited and I'm praying and fasting that they will do it before I'm outtie. But ya that's all for now. Love you all have a great week!
