Hey everyone! This week was the baptism of Nami!!! She is probably my best friend in the mission and I got to baptize her! Im so grateful to have been able to teach and baptize such an amazing person!! The baptism was perfect, and the spirit was unbelievably strong!! What an awesome opportunity I have as a missionary to help others receive the ordinances of exaltation! 

I had Companion exchanges with Elder Emrich from Missouri. He doesnt speak any Spanish but can teach better than I can! Im thinking he will be a future apostle or something cause that guy is unreal when it comes to teaching with the Spirit!! 

Unfortunately, the President has decided to close Nativitas. That means Rosales and I are both leaving and there will not be any missionaries coming to replace us. It is hard for us to know that after all this time and work, our progress will be lost, but at least we helped Liz, and Kate and Nami with their first step on the path to eternal life! In less than 4 hours, I will arrive at the mission office and be assigned a new area and companion, and I hope that I like my new companion and area!! Nativitas was a great place to start my mission and I will for sure miss it. 

I dont have a spiritual thought because I have been so busy packing that I havent had time for anything! Stay tuned next week for a good one! 

other things:

1. An excerpt from a Christian church in Iztapalapa: "These dogs (black dogs) have a psycotically negative mentality and are extremely dangerous to the public in general. These dogs are nothing more than an insult to the rest of the dog breeds and should be eliminated. They are a plague, and plagues must be erradicated to keep the Christian society prosperous. We invite you to return to the path of truth, to leave your demonic acts behind and kill those beings of darkness and evil." 

They really dont like dogs that are black. 

2. A lady on the street saw me and said "The father of my child, Im so glad I finally found him" haha

Hey all, I had my transfers, and now I am in Escuadron! Colonia Escuadron 201, Delagation Iztapalapa. Im really excited to be here because this area is really really sketchy, and sketchy means success! Iztapalapa is really dangerous and there are over 8 million people in just the one delegation. Its crazy here and I love it! 

AND, Im training! My first transfer and I am already training! My new comp is Elder Corral from Chihuahua, and I am so excited to teach him the ways of the mission, but Im also really scared cause all of a sudden its a different game when you are senior companion, and training. Itll be a good time though!
