May 23, 2011

I hope Muffin is ok. I can´t believe one of the deer finally fought back. Maybe that will teach her a lesson to not chase them anymore, but I doubt it.

The weather is to put it simply, weird. Right now it´s super hot but last sunday, the 15th, there was a crazy hail storm with huge chunks of ice that broke car windows and tin roofs. My companion has some pictures I´ll send to you. My companion and I weren´t in the worst part and besides we were inside eating when it happened so we weren´t affected, but it was crazy how much hail fell.

I did my first baptism interview this past week. I interviewed an 11 year old kid. So, it wasn´t that hard. It was actually kind of fun except for the fact that I had to travel an hour and a half on a cramped little van to do it.

Other news, Elder Rasband of the Presidency of the Seventy came and talked with the whole mission on wednesday. It was pretty cool. He talked about how we were called by revelation and by apostolic authority to the exact place where we were serving and, therefore, we shouldn´t complain about our area nor our companion instead we should see what we can learn from the experience. He based a lot of his comments on the talk he gave in the april 2010 general conference. However, he also spoke about being balanced missionaries and building up the kingdom not only through baptisms but rather also through helping in retention and reactivation.
