NEW COMPANION, NEW AREA

This week has been so great! But for transfers, I am going to Chicago 4^th ward which is the ward just west of us. I am going to still be in the same zone and my new area is actually touching my area I am in right now! But I also am going to serve as district leader there! The ward was part of our ward but it split like 10 years ago so all of the members know each other!  I don't know if Eric served here before it split! I will be serving with Elder Martinez. I know him already and he is super nice and so I am so excited!

But Jesus wasn't baptized this week. We got his interview done and

everything with the President on Saturday morning and so we were way excited and we were like yes everything is working out! Then we had the program all done and everything and at like 5:30 (the baptism was at 7) he sent us a text and was like oh I cant come today.. Then we tried texting him and called but he didn't answer.   We called the member who has been doing everything with him and he talked to him and he said Jesus’ problem was he didn't have a towel and that was why. So we were way relieved! Then he texted us like an hour later and he said he was going to a movie and he didn't want to be baptized any more.  So anyways he didn't get baptized but he thought it was okay because he said since it was a church movie he was fine.  We then taught him yesterday and he just has ideas in his mind and wont let them go.  But he said for sure in 2 weeks so he will be baptized soon! But there was another investigator who was baptized in our ward that day so that was amazing!

I took some pictures though! The one where we are all standing with a family is the Family Rubalcava who we live with! They are so amazing and they have done so much for me! Then the second family where we are sitting on the couch is the family Perugachi! The smallest boy Yaury is the funniest kid I have ever met. He loves wrestling so he always waves in front of his face and yells you cant see me. Then one day him and his older brother Denny were wrestling on the bed and Yaury jumped up and double kicked him and since Yaury is so small his kick just like bounced off and he almost shot off the bed! I love their family so much.
