Week 33 - This week we laughed more than any other week

Baptism of Camilo

Family!

Love you all sooooooo much.

This week was pretty good!

Elder Smalley and I are just having so much fun it's not even funny. The best part is that we're working stinking hard and having fun! The best combo.

So..... This week. The funniest part of this week was probably Friday. We called an awesome family in the ward to help us out in the morning with an appointment. This family deserves some explanation. It´s an older couple that have never been able to have kids. So they explain that the kids for her (the wife) are her 4 cats, and the kids of the dad are his collection of like 500 toy airplanes, helicopters, and cars. hahaha. They also say that we are their kids because they take care of us. Well, anyways, they drove us to the appointment and the lady wasn't there. So then we went to like plan b,c,d,e,f, and g and nobody was there. So then we looked for a reference, not there. Anyways, these two told us, Alright, were going to go get gorditas. They literally like kidnapped us and made us go eat with them in the street gorditas. They're super nice, and crazy at the same time! Its a blast. Well, I ended up eating chicharon which is basically like pig skin. Later that night, I was sicker than a dog with so much stomach pain and bathroom trips!!! Guacala!

That was the highlight. The next day we went to go do service at this lady's home which basically consisted of us peeling and scraping off old paint for 2 hours and then painting for like 15 minutes. haha. It was great because her neighbor was blasting music of literally every genre you can think of and we were like "reverently" jamming out to it. haha.

Then we had the baptism of two 9 year old twins! It was a baptism for the Sisters in the ward, but Elder Smalley got to baptize one of them! He said the water was freezing cold! haha.

It's seriously been so fun here in this ward! I never want to leave, but I know that because I said that, The Lord will probably move me! haha. Elder Smalley and I are just having a blast. Literally this week we've cracked up during like 6 hymns and I made milk come out of Elder Smalleys nose!!! Success!!!

I know that we are here to have joy. "Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might find joy." 2 Nephi 2:25
But we need to find out what gives us everlasting joy. The Gospel of Jesus Christ was created so that we can find joy. Not in money, success, nor worldly things, but in our families. In obedience, and in hard work. I know that this church is true. I know that families can be forever through Our Heavenly Fathers plan. I love our Heavenly Father.

Love you all! Stay strong and hold firm to that Iron Rod!!

Love,
Elder Morgan

One of our awesome investigators this week read like 10 chapters in the Book of Mormon and wrote down 26 questions about it. She´s 12.... It was like her second lesson with us. It was sweet. She also drew a picture of Elder Smalley and me.
