Hey, writing quickly because today is transfer day and I don´t have a lot of time! I´ll try to send pictures this time if I have time to let them load, if not then next week for sure.
You know that corn everybody eats in nacho libre? I´ve had some, and it´s pretty good. They put salt, lime juice, and chiles on them...with optional mayonnaise. Tasty. I love the food here.
We had 4 baptisms this Sunday! It was supposed to be this coming Saturday, but something with family came up so it got pushed forward. It´s Maria Elena and her three grandkids Christian, Luis, and Hector. They´re all great and just came out of nowhere, having talked a little with sister missionaries before some time back. I baptized Luis and Christian, and the latter gave me a big hug and shouted "Thank you, brother!" when he came out of the water. It´s definitely rewarding to be a missionary, and there are a number of others progressing as well. Luis also fixed my shoes, whose soles were detaching from the rest of the shoe.
Oh btw, that also makes Elder Fernandez and I companionship of the week. Our zone has been zone of the week all but one week since 2010 started. Our ward´s attendance is also a lot higher, and a WHOLE lot higher than when my companion arrived here. 30 to 40 people attended then. There were about 120 yesterday.
Today is also transfer day. Elder Fernandez is off to Tequila to be a branch president. Pretty crazy. I´m getting one of his old companions, who will be district leader and I hear from many is a great missionary. I´m sure I´ll learn a lot and I´m going to work hard. I´m sure we can have great success if we really work at it. His name is Elder Tovar and he´s from the state of Hidalgo, Mx. It´ll be my job to get us everywhere and do the majority of the planning for the first week though, since he won´t know the area yet.
Well I´ve got to go. Take care, and I love you all.
Elder Lund
