Hey family!
This week was changes, it was CRAZY!
We went to the airport and waited....and waited....and waited....and church offices had changed the day to a day later and they didn't come. Needless to say it was insane taking care of all the new missionaries and the missionaries going home at the same time. Very crazy and sleepless, but it was a successful change. Everyone got to their areas on time and noone missed a bus, so when I leave the offices next change, I will leave with a clean record haha
Funny thing that happened this week, a few months ago I decided it would be smart to have a Braille Book of Mormon just in case someone taught a blind guy. Well this week it came and hahahaha it's in 7 massive volumes, and weighs like 40 lbs hahahahaa it was super funny.
Elder Ashby is training now, so when he came to the mission home, I asked Mary to go to the temple to surprise him. He was pretty excited that she was there and she told him she's getting baptised and all.
Cristal finally picked up the Book of Mormon and is reading and FINALLY is progressing, so hopefully Nicolas and Cristal will get married and baptised soon together. I think going to their friend Sheila's baptism on the 30th will help them a ton. We might push it back another week though because this Sunday is Stake Conference and we wouldn't be able to announce her baptism good. We'll see :)
Gustavo and Daniela are doing as good as ever, but it's still been so tough getting them married. Theres always something that keeps them from pulling out a marriage date!
We continue to find new people to teach and see miracles!
Elder Crandell is a great comp. Elder Bradshaw got called to the offices and he is Elder Grau's other kid. E' Grau is now back in Montevideo as a Zone Leader AGAIN.
Sorry this one is short, but we got to go pick some missionaries up at Presidents now.
I love you all and excited for everything happening back there!
Congrats on your fitness test dad! When I get back we'll go running haha
