Hey peeps,
So the week was a succes on all fronts, and now May has almost come to a close. What a shame, May is always a good month...
Well we celebrated my birthday like 10 times over the day of, and then some more and Sunday. My fav was definetly when the primary teachers told us they wanted us to come in and teach the kids a little bit about the sacrament, when really it was an ambush so they could sing happy birthday and give me 50 million paintings they all made that say Feliz Cumpleaños. I was very extremely spoiled, but hey, whos complaining. I have included some pics of the celebratory festivities.
Other than that, the week was one filled with traveling and working in other areas. Wednesday I went to another area not too far away to complete my complete tour of Campeche, which means I have oficially worked in every single area there is in the whole entire state. Out of the 10 wards or branchs, I have had to attend 5 as an area, and ive been to all of them. I have been here for soooo freaking long....
It seems at this point our baptisms we have had planned are doomed to forever be pushed back due to un forseen cirumstances. But we are determined to slay the beast this week and get it done. The good news is that we have been working with the other daughter of this family we have and now she is stoked for baptism as well. So it looks like the 3 of them will be getting baptized this week. Prayers please.
So last monday night, my comp was in district meeting with one of the districts in the zone, and i was in the other. Usually at the end of each meeting, we practice doing something missionary related such as teaching a principle or stuff like that. They talked about talking with everyone, so they were going to practice contacting people in the street. My comp, being the spiritual BOSS he is, decided to take everyone outside and do it for real to practice. Him and two other elders contacted some guy who didnt want anything, so the youngest elder of the three spots a middle aged man walking on the other side of the street and goes over to talk to him. Turns out, he is from the state of Sinaloa and had been atteedning church very regularly there, but for his work travels and has never gotten baptized for that same reason. He had only been here in Campeche about 2 weeks and had been looking for the chapel so he could attend. They showed him where it was and they got his direction. It was in an area that we are temporarily covering, and we went to visit him but he wasnt there. Sunday rolls around, and mid way through sacrement he shows up out of no where. While talking to him after the services, and straight up tells us that he wants to get baptized since he will be here for about 8 months, and he wants to do it next week! Super intense legit escogido.
Well thats it for this week. Stay tuned for next weeks edition of the Elder Kitterman show. Have a good one my loved ones.
Love,
Elder Kitterman
