Week 10 - October 17, 2016

Hola!

Como estan? 

Well it has been another week out here in good old Opelousas. This past week has been pretty slow. We didn't have much to do as Spanish Elders.
 
This past week we had ZTM (Zone Training Meeting) with the Mission President. We spent most of our Tuesday over in Alexandria in the Stake Center. Elder Bean and I got to instruct at the meeting about proper Sister Missionary dress.... can you say awkward? The other funny thing that happened was that Elder Bean accidentally ate something with cinnamon in it. He is allergic to cinnamon and it was the third time in 5 days that he had accidentally eaten cinnamon. He had to take so many Benadryl tablets this past week because of it. 
 
We didn't do much teaching this week. We didn't have anyone that was able to see us so we just ended up teaching some recent convert lessons and taught some less active members with and for the English Elders. Hopefully this coming week we will have more people that we are able to get to and teach.
 
We did get to teach Francisco on Sunday. His baptism is this coming Friday the 21st. He is really excited to be baptized. His cousin is coming up from Mexico so that he can baptize him. I cannot wait to see Francisco become a member of the ward. I know that he will be a great strength to the ward and the people here already really like him.  He is going to be a great addition to this ward.

I hope all of you are having a good week. I am thankful for all of you that email me. It means a lot to me and it is nice to hear about things that are going on outside of the mission. 

Have a great week everyone!!
