{11.7.16} Cuatro

This week was one of the best of my mission. Pretty much.

4 members of the Zapata family, Jaylin, Marie, Alexa, and Kenrick, got baptized on Wednesday! After their baptism, they all four bore their testimonies. It was a spiritual experience I won't ever forget. After the baptism, Jaylin texted us and told us how grateful she was and her family is for us knocking door, and all the postive changes she's been seeing in her life. They're so excited to be members of the church, and the rest of the family is excited for their baptisms coming later in the month. Their aren't really words to describe how happy this family makes me. For the past 3 months, I've been praying and fasting to find a full family who's looking for the truth. I definitely know God answered my prayers, and theirs, and I'm really humbled and grateful that God used me and my companions to help this family find the truth they've been looking for.
The rest of the week was crazy skressful. Elder VanCott went home (finishing his mission on a legendary note by baptizing 4 on his last night instead of spending it in the Hotel with everyone else) and Elder Toews came in as our new companion! i've always loved Elder Toews and hoped to be companions with him, so it's gonna be great transfer! Our first full day in the new trio was spent in the office making MLC, which was originally was supposed to be a week later but had to be changed because of the recent changed made by Salt Lake. 9 hours in an office and only a few hours of lost sleep later, we were able to give a completed MLC to the Zone Leaders and STLs that will help keep the fire going and keep us consistent with the mission goals and the amazing month we had in October with 86 baptisms.

Despite the skressfulness, it was a great week and a lot of fun! I have no complaints. This email's kind of short, but I mostly just want to express how grateful I am, and how happy I am to be a missionary, and a member of Christ's Church.
