Weddings and Baptisms

Hey everyone!

Not too eventful of a week this week, lots of sun, and hard work haha

We had a big zone conference with the Mission President this week. It was nice to be around all the other missionaries in my zone and speak a little English haha. We talked a little about changing up the goals for the next couple of months. President Carlisle wants us to make goals to have 2 baptisms per month per companionship. It is a pretty big expectation but it definately isnt impossible.

I have eaten quite a few interesting things this week. The most interesting of the things was something called Mondongo. Mondongo is basically the intestines of a cow. It is really chewy and has a strange taste but I ate the whole thing. I hope that it doesnt bother my stomach haha.

We had a really good Sunday this week. We had 5 investigators show up! The chapel was more than half full! Our investigators are slowly progressing except that many of them have to get married so we are planning a few fundraisers and weddings haha.

Other than that, a pretty normal week. Thanks again for all the emails everyone. Love you all!
