¡Hola a todos!
First off I'm sending this email on Thursday because we had our Pday changed to today for transfers. But anyway this last week was awesome!! Conrado Lujan got baptized and we have a lot of more people on date for Baptism this next month. I'm staying in Anisacate and my new companion is Elder Vergara form Chile. He's got about 7 months on the mission. Also funny thing, Elder Vergara is my 3rd Chilean companion in a row!
Conrado's baptism was awesome but a little stressful, we had everything planned and ready to go, but when we got to the church we found out that the baptismal pool wasn't there because it's a small church and we just have a pool we set up to do Baptisms. So, we were deciding to go to the river to do the baptism but it turns out that there was going to be a big storm coming and people shouldn't be In the river during a storm, so we ended up calling the bishop in a different ward to do the baptism there but luckly 10 minutes after we called the other ward, a member from the branch who works for the church pulls up with the Baptism pool in the back of his van!! Literally a life saver and it was such a huge relief!! There's always opposition during a baptism!!
Also, another change is that it's just the two of us in Anisacate now. The sister missionaries left the area and now we have the whole area of Anisacate again. The branch here is just absolutely amazing and the members are awesome!!
Super excited to continue working here next month! But that's all the updates for now.
Que tengan una gran semana!
Love Elder Burbank!
