Oi fam!!
This week went by quick! Me and my comp have been working a ton in our area and were able to baptize Igor and Diego this week!Igor who will be 18 next month will participate in the quorum pretty soon and hopefully serve a mission! Diego is 11yrs old. We always thought he was a member because he comes to all of the activities and meetings alone. But last week we were talking to him and he told us he wasn't baptized so we talked with the bishop and the pres and they allowed him to be baptized because of his extensive time at church. We were going to also baptize Miriam but we found out her boyfriend who is a member was full of doubts about the church and telling her that she shouldn't be baptized. So this was a bummer but when she told us this she told us that she didn't want that to happen to her so we told her if she wanted to help him it would be by  being an example. Which he should be to her... so we will continue to talk and help her.  but also we have Marcondes who is 18 and Jennifer who is 15 all in the process to be baptized, pray for them!

Last week my comp will be going in another area to help the missionaries there who are having difficulties and ill stay here with elder flores who has like 3 months in the mission, so it will be cool! Tomorrow, we have a conference and then on wed we have a district meeting. So ya I'll be getting home a week earlier than planned. President Colleoni changed the transfers to only 5 weeks.
But love you guys

Something cool just happened right now. My comp had to look something up on his email so we stopped by again after i got my hair cut and one of the kids who plays basketball at the church who we weren't able to find last week showed up and sat next to me just now and we started talking about stuff at home and the mission. I told him slot about my experiences and what I've learned. He then told me how he would like to go on a mission one day!! We are reserving so many blessings-
