so this week was fun. turns out the walk to Julios was a lot farther than i thought. turns out we were walking like four miles every day to his house for like three weeks. but yeah nuts. Julio and Maria were baptized on saturday. that was really fun. we were running around the whole day putting the font together was fun and just worked a ton. but yeah. their daughter was also baptized. she was our investigator till the sisters came and they took over like two weeks before her baptism.
so the coolest thing ever happened. We were contacting in Fonabi just talking to like seven kids about socer and the clubs in the area. well i said that i wanted a jersey and all that and that i was going to get one before i left the area. well we were knocking doors and this little kid ran by and told us to wait. he came back and GAVE ME HIS JERSEY!!! how cool is that! so i am going back this week and am going to give him my Iowa hat. but yeah it was awesome.
uh the baptism was great. really cool. ha we have to create a splash zone. the last one just went limp as she went backwards and hit really hard and water exploded every where!! it was super funny.
oh my funny thing... they sweep their dirt. and not the dirt inside... the outside dirt. hahaha cause that dirt is not good enough to be with the other dirt so they move it. haha when they started sweeping i giggled, on the inside of course. but yeah. just funny things they do.
oh so my comp and i have a goal. we are going to baptize a tribe.
no joke. were finding a tribe. not a big one. just like 70 people. but we are asking members if they know of any in the area, friday we got our bikes and rode way out in the sticks looking for some places to find some. hahaha it was really fun. so hopefully that works out.
but we are going to be doing a lot of clapping and contacting. we were riding the elevator before our baptism and now have no one to teach but thats chill. we are working hard. we need to find some people soon if I am to hit my goal of one baptism a month. so working hard. constantly exhausted but enjoying it. oh an i figured out how to skinny ties!!! the big fat ones i can know make them wearable! i will send you pictures next week when i start mine. i did four for Elder Sisk this week. but yeah. oh and i killed my first cock roach in our pench. i killed some my first day in the mission home. ha those ones were mean!!!! we hit it like four times with a shoe and it wouldnt die! it literally tore up a kids shoelace! ha we dont know how. but yeah
Well we are heading out.
its super hot. i woke up sweating ha that was new.
but love all of you. the pictures and videos are extremely awesome so keep them coming!! loves
Elder Whitaker
