New Area, New Comp headed to Apucarana


Mom,

   remember that one city i served in called apucarana where we broke the record for baptisms in a month and we basically baptized everyone. the Lord has called me to wreck stuff in apucarana again, this time my comp is elder denna, elder delgadillo trained him haha this guy is awesome. he also was there when we broke the record, were basically gonna tear everything up that walks in front of us!!!! this is a call im grateful for, only problem were opening the area, i just opened this area. my 3rd time opening an area, it gets worse everytime also haha. o boy

   mom, the word tramp is also a derrogative word for a woman who breakes the law of chastity alot. the word trampoline is a thing that people jump on and have fun. i read that paragraph about 10 times super confused that, " the old tramp gave out us" i thought that you were talking about a car or a sister in law or something or some girl, i got really scared.

 tips to be a successful missionary, dont date someone before the mission. give everything you have to the Lord, including your thoughts, will, and desire.

   CONGRATS TO CAMBRIA FOR MAKING THE DRY CREEK CHEERLEADING TEAM.

     ya so sunday was an adventure. we had this lady sister leida to baptize. we passed by her house to get her and walk to church. we knocked and no one answered. i didnt like it at all. we went and got other people to go to church. went back to there, knocked and knocked and knocked and no one answered. we screamed her name and nothing happened. i knew wed have to play dirty then. we went to the first hour of church, and gave her about 1 hour to think wed forgotten. we walked over there again, this time just knocked but we didnt yell, otherwise they might hear our accents and know its the missionaries, one of them bit it. she came out and was like o hey, do you guys need something...

   i was like dont play games get your mother in law and get ready for church. todays her baptism. she went and got sister leida. leida shows up and told us she had some pain in her leg and lower back and couldnt go to church today. i told her wed give her a blessing and that she wouldnt feel any pain anymore for the rest of her day. i told her she had to go to church cause she had to be baptized today. she then said o ya, ive been thinking about being baptized and i decided with my daughter that id wait and be baptized next week with her, we will get to know the church more and stuff blah blah blah. i looked at her gave her a big smile and told her thats a cute idea, the both of you being baptized together next week, but God wants you to be baptized today, get dressed, im gonna call a member to come get you and your family then your all gonna go to church and your baptism will be tonight. 7 o´clock. she agreed to go to church but said she was gonna wait to be baptized and that if she changed her mind, shed call us and then we could baptize her that night. what are we taxis for baptism, we call the shots here daughter of God. how rediculuous is that, if i change my mind ill call you guys, ya sister leida lets just wait outside your house and you can let some white smoke out of the chimney if you want to and black smoke if it wont happen. anyways, the member showed up, bless his heart hes a great man, we put the family into the car, there was no room for us so we had to walk back to church. keep in mind that its about 5 mins til sacrament meeting and its at least a 15 min walk. right as they left i called the ward secretary and told him to put on the announcements for sacrament meeting that at 7 that night there would be the baptism of sister leida. he did. she showed up during the first hymn, sat down they said the opening prayer, then made the announcements. she heard her baptism for 7 that night announced in front of more then 100 people. meanwhile elder morgan and i barely showed up in time for the sacrament. after the meeting she came up to me and said, "so my baptism is at 7 tonight." yes sister leida, now were on the same page :D elder morgan got his first little baptism!!!  love ya mom!
