DAY 105

Hey everyone! I sure did get your letter last week! Thanks alot!

  Well, this week was pretty good. Last Wed, when there was the tornado warning, was pretty exciting. We went nice and early to the church to go play basketball, and when we left there was a completely overcast skiy, and lots of lightning, so you couldnt see any individual lightning bolts, just kind of the whole sky flashing. We went and played for a while, and could hear the rain pounding down hard on the roof, and when we tried to leave, the road was completely flooded. Like worse than those other pictures I sent you. So we couldnt even leave the church. So we had an hour until our personal study was supposed to start, so I convinced some of the other elders to play some 4-square, and it was awesome. We ended up just doing our personal study there at the church, in our basketball clothes.

That was probably the excitement of the week, and this week is transfers! I'm staying here, and Elder De Los Santos is going to a city called Thibidoux, and I'm getting a new companion named Elder Vail, its his last transfer here in the mission. He is a good missionary, from what Ive seen and heard.

Something kind of funny happened this week as well. President Woods called us regarding the guy we baptized a few weeks ago, Eugenio. He said he got a call from salt lake and said that he was already a member, and is registered as having been baptized in 1989, and was last registered in a ward in Mexico. So we called Eugenio and said "were you baptized before?" and he said no. We said "are you SURE you werent baptized?" He said yes he was sure, and had never attended church or met with missionaries in Mexico. So we have no idea how that happened, but somehow there was a record for him, with the same birthday and same parents and everything. So we just have to have him write a note saying he definitely wasnt baptized before.

Well, thats about it, I'll attach some other pictures, but try to take more this week. Have a great day everyone!
