A Day with Dolphins

Well, transfers was yesterday and I´m getting a new companion. A gringo. Mixed feelings, it´ll be nice to be able to actually talk to someone, but at the same time its better for me to have a native since I'm forced to use the language 24/7. Then again it might help me learn since he´ll be able to define words and such since he knows both English and Spanish. Who knows, I guess I'll find out! I would say a phrase from high school musical 4 sums up my feelings "nervous, but excited"

We had a baptism on Saturday too! and once again nervous but excited would describe the situation beforehand. We were going to have a member baptize Elsa, but he fell through, so she asked if I could do it. I had to get the prayer down in Spanish and say it in front of her family and a ton of people. I was super nervous before hand, but when it came down to it, it was a really special experience. It made me think how much God loves us individually. All of us. I know that God loves me because I've felt his love, but rarely have I felt his love for others and that's what I felt on the day of Elsa's baptism, a small part of his love for her.

Elsa is super sincere. The first week I didn't really know how excited she was or how strong she felt about the church, but a couple days before her baptism she changed. She was super talkative and happy, before that she had always seemed a little shy and didn't participate too much but she bore her testimony and told us about how the first time we met her she read the book of Mormon, prayed about it and felt an overwhelming feeling of peace. Now she want to share the gospel with the rest of her family. She has a brother in Rawson main that the other missionaries are starting to teach, and we´re going to start teacher her kids (they´re around 16-18). Its just exciting and amazing to see how the gospel has changed her and how its changed how I see her. 

Lemme see, also I went on exchanges with the zone leader Elder Holland-I know-and he´s leaving today. He´s really on top of things, his nickname is trunky Holland, but from the couple days I spent with him he was the exact opposite. He wanted more time, he was working hard to the end. He actually said that he wished time would go slower. I hope that's how I am, a missionary on fire. Always. I work my hardest so I won´t have any regrets when I look back on the short two years I've had. 

Also I saw dolphins. a herd of dolphins-or whatever it is you call them.. school?. But yeah, I didn't have my camera since I was running, but I saw them jumping up and down in the water. 

Love you guys! stay sweet and stuff!
