No group email this week. Some things Jeremy mentioned to me and his mom.
Things are going alright here. My interview with President did help me a lot. I don't know, I kinda felt like I was just here so that we could punish another elder or something but one of the first things President told me was that my change caught him by surprise but it's what the Lord wanted. That simple sentence helped a lot. I did have an interesting experience though, two of the Hermanas in my district are brand new and are still learning Spanish. One of them was fairly sick on Saturday and took advantage of the fact that we were in Urubamba asking us to give her a blessing. That's fine, but she asked me to do it in English. That was super hard for me, I'd never given a blessing in English before and I was seriously just translating what I would've said in Spanish. It was Spanish grammar and everything, it was pretty embarrassing. She got better though, which is good :)
We had an alright week this week. It was a little hard, our investigator with a baptismal date fell through, we haven't seen him in a couple of weeks now. We're finding new people though and I'm excited to see their progress. At the beginning of the year President put a goal of 1200 baptisms in all the mission for the year of 2015. As of Oct 1 we were only at 406. That means that every companionship needs to have 8 baptisms by the end of the year. I really hope we can do it. I don't know how, but President promised us it was possible and I felt the spirit when he made that promise. I know it's possible, we just need to work our butts off.
In 32 days we're going to Skype! Hooray!
