Wow Parenthood is tough Sept, 17, 2018

I have a kid. Here in the mission, when you train a new missionary, you say that the newbie is you kid. So I have a new companion, and he is also new in the mission. He is MIJO. SO exciting. But we are still here in Allende, but now, with Elder Croxall from Brandon Florida(Its by tampa) and he is very willing and excited to jump into spanish. He is a little overwhelmed at the moment, but all missionaries are at the beginning. He'll be a great missionary.

This week we started out a little weird. I had to go down to saltillo to pick up my kid. And Tuesday we had a bunch of meetings. And I had to translate in both english and spanish. It was so crazy to see how far I have come. Like I have changed to much. Im so proud of how far Ive come, but I want to get even better. Spanish is growing on me so much. I love the language, and I love the people.

Well this week my kid got to start his mission off with a baptism. This week Melany got baptized. She has been waiting for 8 weeks, and she just got baptized. It was a super special service. And then Sunday my comp was sick and puking so I went to church while he stayed home with a member of the Elders Quoryum, while I went to the confirmation. And then came home and took care of him the rest of the day. So how is that for a first week.

Well I feel lazy yet again, but I send all my love and a few pictures of my work here in Allende. The baptism of Melany, and then some pipe for smoking weed we foudn in a house. The lady thought it was just some normal decoration, and didnt realize!!! LOLOLOL

Love you all.
