So Far

  Hey ya'll. Today's just going to be a shorter email since there isn't a whole lot that needs to be said from this past week. Other than of course our friend Cielos Baptism! I'll just do a little gratitude section for today!

    I truly have been changed by this mission. I don't want you to think I'm saying my life before the mission needed a lot of changing,  or that I needed to go all the way across the world to "find my self". I am just am super grateful for the environment I'm in right now. I'm surrounded by my brothers and sisters that I've never met, some are members of the church, and some aren't. Nevertheless, I have learned to love. Truly love. I just finished an interview with an older man who I'd never met. Whenever I said thank you, he would say, "no thank you. I'm thankful for you Elders who gave me this gospel.". He told me about breaking his arm, and how it turned him to God because he had no where else to go. It was beautiful. I loved him like a brother as I was listening to him. I'm so grateful for that experience and so many others like that. 

    To all of the youth reading this, if you made it this far. Please consider a mission as a possibility your future. It will change you life if you let it. 

Love ya'll tons

Peace

Elder Baker

    Hey ya'll! Honestly, this week was a hard week. But, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have a couple things that I don't think I would have realized or attributed to God were it not for the struggle! Lets get into the week!     So we started off the week with two exchanges! Which means we as leaders have another companionship come to our area and we show them how we are having success and also to learn from them!! I learned a ton from both of them. They are both great Elders. We were able to teach sister Mardel and find a lot of new friends!!     The rest of the week was super interesting. We tried to do what we usually do and just go to all of our friends in one day, but literally no one was available. We felt like we were getting very little work done. On Saturday we were traveling around the Zone doing baptismal interview's! Which is ( in hindsight ) a blessing. At the time we were worried about not be able to work in our area. But. We are so bl...
