Week 31 Dear Familia

The news arrived late Saturday night concerning transfers.

Elder Velasquez and I will continue working here in La victoria. Elder Velasquez knew it would be so, he won't tell me how he knew, only that he "has his contacts", whatever that means. We spent the day cleaning up the apartment, I used some acid on the sink this morning which was interesting. I almost burned my nose hairs off and changed the color of the sink. Elder Velasquez was very impressed, not really, but it was a good learning experience. Afterwards we had a hearty lunch of fried chicken and rice, I am planning on implementing a few healthy meals into our diet.

This week we've been working with the Familia Rincon. We challenged the Dad, Roencio, to live the Word of Wisdom and be baptized this past week. He accepted and told us that he hasn't been drinking for a week. We are planning on having a lesson with him one-on-one with Hermano Freddy, to help motivate him. 

Sambel is doing good. We been visiting him in the mornings, he's doing great with his commitments, but didn't come to church yesterday, he has trouble getting up in the mornings, so we'll shall pass by for him this next Sunday.

The Ward is great here in La Victoria. We've got some great brethren that we've been working with. We're working on leaving (saliendo-which means that a person will accompany them) with priesthood every day this week.

Have a good week 

Love,

Elder Call

P.S. Please wish Joseph happy birthday and congratulations for his baptism
