I'm on a payphone trying to call home

From May 11, 2015

This week was a really good week. It was good to call home for the last time. It's crazy how fast time goes by. 

 We had a baptism yesterday. His name is Javier. He's a good kid. He's crazy as heck though. He had a baptismal date a year ago with some other Elders but he didn't pass the interview but this time he did and got baptized finally. He is an orphan who lives with his old grandparents. He's like a jungle boy but with more love from the members of the branch and with more teaching I'm sure he'll calm down a bit. I really pray that he can one day go on a mission and pull himself out of the poverty that he is in right now. That is what the Gospel can do and will do to someone if he or she lets it happen. I just wish people would understand that. 

I also went on interchanges with Elder Peck. He is my Zone Leader. He is from Lehi. So we had a pretty good time. 

Everything is going pretty good in Apaneca. We are trying to work hard and work well with the members. I only have 6 weeks left. I am going to work as hard as I can to do as much as I can to have success in these last weeks.

Thanks so much everybody!
