This Saturday was the baptism of Melissa, a girl we`ve been teaching who lives with her aunts that are members and hadn´t been baptized yet. The baptism was awesome! Her aunts, cousins and even her sister who isn´t a member came! The young women of the ward sang a musical number in the baptism as well. We were a little nervous as at the hour of the baptism she hadn´t gotten home yet and the aunt who she lives with didn´t know where she was at! It has happened to me before where an investigator at the last moment decides not to get baptized so that was going through my head as we waited outside the house with the aunts. To everyones relief she ended up getting home some 10 minutes after baptism was supposed to start and so we started a little late. She had gone to eat with her freinds and lost track of time! She was very happy and excited for the baptism.
Today I was changed to back to Guayaquil, back in the Guasmo! My new companion is Elder Betanco, a missionary from Nicaragua who I met around the beginning of my mission. He has 1 or 2 months less than me in the mission. The zone I`m in is Puerto Nuevo, sector La Toma. That`s the same zone I was in with Elder Chandler in January, but in a different sector. Back to a few familiar sights and places but with new faces. I love being here in the mission. I know this is the work of the Lord, and I`m grateful to be part of it.
