This week was nice. On Monday, we tested out the famous recipe of Dixie's Spudnuts and they turned out wonderful. I only burned the first batch because the oil was too hot, but other than that all of them turned out scrumptious. On Tuesday, we headed out to Pindaty for the first time in a really long time and the Family Cardoso was pleasantly pleased with our surprise visit. There has been a bit of a problem though, because we can no longer hitch-hike out there. It takes an hour and half to walk out there then and hour and a half back, so it sucks up the time that we have to find people. On Wednesday, we had a capatacion de zona (zone conference) where several rules where added as to what we can and cannot do.
My companion and I are getting along quite well. He is a convert as of 7 years and is super. He has two brothers younger than him and they are members, but his parents no son miembros (are non-members).
On Saturday, a man by the name of Leongino, a man of 77 years of age, was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ for the remission of his sins. I was privileged to be able to perform the ordinance for him. However the church is having some technical problems here and the water just quits randomly and doesn’t work, so the same thing happened this Saturday and we only had 2 tiles of water to baptize him in. It had to be done 3 times to do it correctly.
And one more soul is permitted to enter in the kingdom of God.
Love you all!
Love,
Elder Call
