Barrio Bonita 3

Hey everyone, how have you been? It's been a strange week for me. I have actually been transferred to my sixth area so far on my mission. I'm now in the Bonita 3rd ward. It's in National City, which is directly south of Barrio 20.

I have to say, I was really sad to see I'd be leaving Barrio 20 again, especially this time around. I built really good relationships with many of the people I was teaching there, as well as the missionaries and members I got to work with. Saying goodbye is hard, but it helps you cherish the good memories you've made with people more.

One exciting thing though is that I am still in the same district with the missionaries in that ward, so I'm able to continue working with them and being involved with their work.

My new companion is Elder Schulz, he's from Riverton, Utah and he's been on his mission for about a month and a half longer than me. We are the only missionaries on bikes in our entire zone (yay).

It's been a weird week, but I'm adjusting slowly. I've been able to meet some of the members of the ward so far and they are good people and I'm excited to get to know them.

I hope you all have an awesome week!

Baptism

Hey everyone how's it going?

We have had a pretty busy week! To start, we practiced a lot for some special musical numbers that the missionaries sang throughout the week. Saturday, Elder Yates and I had the chance to see a women we have been teaching named Georgina get baptized. It was a really special experience and I am so happy she has made this decision to follow the Lord and take his name upon herself. In the service, Elder Yates and I sang a duo. It started with me singing a SOLO! Like why me?? But that's besides the point, the baptism was amazing and I am so proud of Georgina!

The next day we sang in sacrament. We sang the Army of Helaman and Sisters in Zion medley in Spanish. It was really awesome and a lot of members in the ward really liked it. We also confirmed Georgina a member of the church in that same sacrament meeting.

We had zone conference yesterday. It was pretty long, we were there from 9-3, so that was a little tough. But we did have some good training's, and we found out that this coming Sunday Elder Rasband of the Quorum of the 12 apostles is coming to meet with all of us missionaries here in San Diego! So I'm super excited about that!

I hope you guys have an awesome week! Love you all!
