So, I am getting a new companion today. Usually we don't know who they are until Tuesday night during transfer meeting, but Elder Acaro is actually already serving in this ward, so they just decided to tell me so that he could just move his stuff here and not have to go through the big hassle of taking everything to transfer meeting and then bringing it all back. I don't know if I have told you anything about Elder Acaro before, but I worked with him for like, 4 or 5 hours when I was in Vista. He is from Peru, so he is learning English. He has improved a lot from when I saw him last! His area down in Escondido is PACKED with Spanish people. So, it's going to be a good learning experience for him with all these white people in San Marcos!
I was in English work again (for like, 6 hours). Elder Lewis received a call to be District Leader, so he went to a meeting on Friday. there is another Elder close by to us (in English) that received a call too, so Elder Lewis and the other Elder went to the meeting together and I stayed with Elder Campbell, the companion of the other Elder. It was a lot of fun, but I am so glad I am in Spanish work! We had a cool few lessons and I met some cool people.
So, 15 on 15... Not even close. There was one on 15 though! WOO! A little 9 year old girl was baptized, named Liahona. There's a long story to go with that name too... One of our ward members (we are pretty sure he is one of the three Nephites because he has so many crazy stories about missionary work and life and stuff) baptized this little girl's mom about 10 years ago. She was prego back then, and she still hadn't decided a name. So, this hermano told the mom Liahona would be a good name. She fell in love with it, and then named her baby that. But, then she went inactive in the church and stuff, stuff, stuff. But, then her daughter was baptized! So, at least we had one baptism on the 15th! YAY! (not from us though; Elder Gneiting and Elder Hansen)
Yesterday we had a cool experience. We were knocking in one complex and we knocked on this one door and this lady answered. We started to talk to her about the Gospel and stuff, but she didn't seem interested. So, we asked her if there was anyone else around that might be interested. She pointed to the door across from her and so we went and knocked it and taught a lesson! That's the first time that has ever happened to me! In all my time as a missionary (which is a lot), I have never seen that happen before. So, that was super cool. Sadly, the kid wasn't interested in us returning back, but it was still SWEET!
Yes, we are still teaching all of our new investigators we found! Sadly, we haven't seen them in like, a week... But, we are still trying! We actually got another one, but we are going to pass her off to the English missionaries, because she said she was more comfortable in English... Psh.
Angel Reyes was like, the #1 pick a few years ago in football. He was going to go to Texas, but had a fight with another player and got removed... He lived in Vegas, but moved here and was here when he got into the fight. That's all I could tell you about him. We haven't taught him anything yet, but hopefully soon!
I haven't received any packages yet, but I will tonight!
YAY! Take a picture of my plaque! I want to see it! Did you ever put up that picture of Christ that I sent home?
Tell Maddy congrats for me! And tell her when the soccer season is over and they are champions that she should BURN that shirt! omj (jk)
