Transfers were today and Elder Gomez left and Elder Crespo from Ecuador is coming. He should get here tomorrow morning because he is coming in bus from Bogotà. I am doing better and my companion and I ended on a good note which was great. It is weird to think that I'm in my last transfer already!!! Time is going to fly by and it is scaring me, ha ha.
This week we had 2 personas rescatados (reactivated members?). They are Juan and Sandy. They are so great and Juan is preparing to go on a mission and Sandy may go as well!! Julio Buitrago has his baptismal date for July 2 and the Lopez family has theirs for July 16, they just have to get married first. Then Said Andres will be getting baptized soon. We were going to move his baptismal date to July 2 but they want to wait and see if his Uncle can baptize him. His Uncle, Anderson, and Anderson's wife, Delma, are the people who make us lunch everyday and they are less active. However, they have 3 weeks straight going to church and Anderson is stopping to smoke and drink!! They have a longish story but it is amazing to see their progress and see what the gospel can do in our lives!
We had 2 services on Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday Elder La Rochelle and I got fried and then I was bit by a dog on the way home. It broke the skin so I have to keep an eye on the dog and may have to get rabies shots. Then at night the same day, I saw that someone in the family where we did the service erased all of my pictures on my memory card. Great day, right? ha ha. But we were able to recover about 100 pictures and I am going to see if I can recover more. This week should be good and I'm excited to see what happens. Talk to you next week!
