Transfer Week!

Old railroad bridge over Entre Rios River.

I don´t remember if I wrote last week about my companion being
psychic, but I think she lost her abilities. She usually has dreams
before transfer week about what is going to happen with her and her
companion, and until now they have come true. But this time she had a
dream that she was with a different companion, and her companion was
showing her around a new area. So we thought for sure she would be
transferred. But she wasn´t. We´re going to be together for another 6
weeks. Which is fine, because we work really well together. But this
will be the longest I´ve ever been with one companion.

And my first zone leader was transferred to Tupiza! He will get here
Wednesday. I am super excited, because he is hilarious and he is a
really good missionary.

This weekend 3 people we have been teaching were baptized. It was
really beautiful to be there and to be able to help them make this
decision in their lives to follow Jesus Christ. They are really great,
and have been very prepared. Two of them are little girls, but they
already ask us a ton of questions about when they can serve a mission
and what they have to do to prepare and where they can go. They are
really precious.

After their baptism, we had them give their testimonies. K., who is
9, asked what a testimony was. We told her to just say how she felt
about the church and about being baptized. And she was like, oh okay,
got it! And when she bore her testimony about how she felt, she said
before she was baptized she was afraid that she would fall in the
water, but when she was baptized the water was warm, and she didn´t
fall. Literally, how she felt about the actual process of being
baptized. She is seriously so precious. Haha.

Everything is going well here! I feel like the time is going by so
fast. I´ve been away from home for almost 6 months already. Which is
only 1/3 of my mission. But I have a feeling I will be headed home
before I know it. Until then, we will be working hard here in Tupiza!

I hope everyone at home is doing well!

baptism day! I tried to get Sydney to look a little darker but then the rest of the picture was gone! lol
