Well I got a new Comp his name is Elder B. I don’t usually say his last name because I sometimes butcher it. Well I will start with his height. He is 7'2" that’s right 7 feet 2 freaking inches, when I hugged this guy I hugged his belly button lol, and yes he does play ball. He will be playing for Arizona State when he gets back in like 5 months, also he knows and is acquainted with the GM for the Celtics and they are interested in him and will most likely play in the NBA, freaking crazy isn’t it? He doesn’t play ball with us on Mondays just because he doesn’t want to ruin his future which I completely agreed with. He is from Canada and sometimes he does have the accent lol. I just call him gigantor. He is a funny guy and his Spanish is really good. He said that I will be able to speak Spanish within this transfer so here is hoping. Also, I’m in the bike area now and that’s very different lol.

(Side note from Pam: Here are 2 pics of him. One is his mission pic and the other is his District picture from the last Zone Conference. He's tall huh? )

We live in a new house that is infested with spiders so that was a real treat cleaning up, a lot of bug bombs were used and two cans of spider and roach killer was used lol. And yes, there are three people living here with me, Elder Hamilton, Elder B. and Elder Seely.

We were shucking coconuts for the coconut milk and the meat inside and we were going to make coconut rings but we didn’t have enough time, and yes, one of those knifes were mine. (Side note from Pam: Here are some pics of him and his comps w/ the coconuts. Looks safe huh?)

I’m happy about the companion; he really helps me with my Spanish. Well we have about 12 investigators now, in our area, and we are planning on baptizing all of them.

Alright so I wanted to tell you now we weren’t able to catch that huge iguana. Dangit, but it was a funny story.

I baptized my first person yesterday in Spanish woot woot, it was an amazing experience, I baptized a kid named Leonardo Alexander Rosebelth who is 11 years old. It was such an awesome experience. And I didn’t mess up either I said it all perfectly, thank the Lord for that because I was pretty nervous but the Lord really helped me, and it was awesome to be part of His work and glory. I have a pic and I will send you guys showing us in white. The other kids that were baptized were Bridgett, baptized by Elder Hamilton, and Omar Rosebelth, baptized by Elder B.
