Well this past week started out really slow because my companion got hit with a bad flew and was basicaly laid out on the bed for 2 day's... yeah it was tough to say the least. Pretty much he was sick and i played "mom" and had to take him to the hospital and bring him his pills and water while he laid down and everything. Yeah you know the drill... It was a little frustrating not to be able to go out and work! I felt so unproductive sitting in the same place during the middle of the day and not doing something. I almost went crazy just sitting there. I'm so used to always being on the go and looking for people to talk to that if i'm not doing it i feel bad, or like i'm lossing time to work for the Lord. But when your companion is sick you got to do what you got to do i guess... Towards the end of the week we started to get going again and on saturday we had the highlight of the week... Yup you guessed it! Baptisim! Lyar Perez is now officialy a "Moromona" as she puts it. She was really excited to finaly have the opportunity to be baptized after having waited for basicaly 2 years. She finaly got permision from her Mother to be baptized when she turned 18 years old so we went through the lessons with her and got her all ready and dunked her into the forgiving waters of baptisim this past saturday! The Baptisimal service was really nice and her best friend who's a member spoke on the Holy Ghost and it was very powerful. The talk was really simple but the spirit that she brought with her sincerity was the key factor! Everything went perfect and i was able to be a witness for the baptisim! Then the next day we had the confirmation in church in sacrament meeting and then we signed the papers and now everything is official. It was a great experience to have a baptisim this transfer and we hope to be able to repeat it again this transfere thats coming! But now with the Transfer thats coming we're going to be having a little change her in Toa Baja... Elder Parodi is leaving and i'm staying which means tomorrow i'll be getting a new companion once again... Also this transfer thats coming up i believe Elder Jonny Oviatte is coming in who i went to HIgh School with which will be pretty cool to see. Its always good to see my graduate budies from good old THS. Its crazy how fast a year can fly by and its even crazier to think that really its only a year and a few days that seperates be and you all back home. I think its time to strap in tight for another roller coaster ride of another year.
Well that about sums up the week... and a big week it was... full of baptisims,and best friends leaving on missions! Lets be real, what more can you ask for?... really nothing.
Thanks for all the prayers and with much love,
Elder Lopez
