So we had transfer calls this weekend and once again, President Becerra did not disappoint on surprising me, yet again! My new companion is (drumroll) Elder Fellows! The one I went on exchanges with not too long ago. I am very excited to be companions with him. Why am is that surprising, you ask? Because this will b his first transfer as a Zone Leader, making us the youngest ZL companionship in the mission. Probably ever, too. If we put our time together in the mission, we don't even have a year and a half... But I foresee great stuff happening.
This past weekend we had Evelin O. baptism. It was a great little baptism with just about 9-11 people. One of them, being Evelin's inactive dad. The spirit hit him so hard, he was crying during most of the service. It was fantastic. And it was cool because that baptism was the last thing Elder B. did on his mission.
So after the baptism, we went to elder B's Despedida (farewell). Elder B. was such an awesome missionary, it didn't hit me he was leaving until he actually left because of how diligent he was. As I watched him work and speak at the farewell, I thought to myself that that is how I want to go out. Without a skip in my step or anything. It was a pretty huge contrast to my first companion who was going home. He was the trunkiest guy ever!! But it's ok.
Another cool thing that happened in the transfers is that mijito, elder Ramos was made district leader! It's so cool to see him grow and learn. I consider him like my little brother out in the mission. Always asking the other zone leaders how he his doing and vice versa. Makes me think that maybe I did do alright in training him!
This upcoming week we should be having Jesus' baptism. I love that man so much, even though he is 87, he wants to make so many changes to be a better person. It's really cool because he is all there and he gets everything and is so willing to improve. He had a bit of a word of wisdom problem with coffee, but gave it up the day that we taught it and has replaced it with one of those acceptable not really coffee coffee mixes. He's a great example to me and hopefully to those who read this. I love you all!! Have a great week!
