Week 38- No baptism

Hey lovely family members and friends,

Well for the weekly update i think ill start off with the bad news. you know so it can end on a good note.

Well the bad news is pretty sad. at least it was for me. So i told you last week about the 18 year old that we have been working towards baptism with. Well he was going along great and was supposed to be baptized this saturday, but something came up, and its not just a problem we can talk about with him and testify of the truth because what happened was that he got a call from his dad. His dad said you are going to the us to live with me in 3 days. So long story short he is on his way to live in boston or brockton right now. There was this little going away party that he had that they invited us to eat some dinner and cake with them. It was a really good time. Part way through a town drunk slash crazy man that everyone knows and loves showed up and joined the party. His name is antonio ba casa, which means anthony go home. haha so i can barely understand his criole but i guess he speaks english too... and by taht i mean he says he does and then says things like goo goo gaa gaa. So he talked to me like that and it was hilarious. He also refers to me as branco. which means white. And then we said good bye to the investigator and told him not to forget to talk to the missionaries in boston.

Another really cool thing that happened this week was the ward we are in had a mini mtc where they got members to come and participate and do missionary work especially with less actives. it really helped the frequency of the ward and it helped bring a lot of less actives back and i hope the members will continue to help them stay not just be done with it because the activity is done with. But it was a super awesome activity.

Also you asked me about my comp. He is elder cruz. hes from california but his parents are from mexico. Probably the only reason why he likes me is because i make him horchata a lot. Hes a cool dude and a really hard worker.

Well thats it for the week. Thanks for the letters love you all!

Love Elder McMullin
