Hello all!

 

Hope you are all doing well! I have had a good week...despite the knee problems we were able to get things done! but yeah we had a good weekend as we attended the temple on Thursday and then we had a baptism on Saturday and i baptized Andrea Rodriguez! My first baptism ! Ill send pictures but it was awesome! She is a 9 year old ! But yeah it was a great first experience!

 

It has been raining a lot this week ! And the members here are wonderful! We get lunch everyday from a member and the food is pretty good! I like it ! but yeah my companion has been a great trainer! My Spanish is coming along so so haha i wish i could understand more what everyone is saying but yeah, i know that will all come!

 

I love the people here.. there is this one family we are working with that has practically nothing and every time we are over there they give us pretty much EVERYTHING they have! it makes me want to cry ..they are so humble and loving and I have been humbled so much already by being here and seeing and meeting these people and working with them! 

 

But yeah the baptism was good ! I limped down into the font with Andrea and it was a great experience! I was worried i was going to get the words wrong cause of my Spanish but i said a little prayer and was fine when all was said and done but yeah ! Everything is good and I'm trying my hardest to work through everything ! I will send pictures next week as I'm running out of time but i hope all is well!

 

Hopefully all is well and things are coming together for Christmas ! Megan and Kenzie hopefully all is well with ball and keep it up!  

 

Love ya!

 

Elder Eliason
