Week 72

Ladies and gentlemen, varones y mujeres.

It finally happened. The moment you have all been waiting for. It only took 72 gosh darn weeks, but I finally had my first baptism!!! Her name is Enoes Carrera, and I was teaching her in my previous area, Rancho Vista. After I left to my new area, she was put on date, and when asked who she wanted to baptize her, she picked me! It was cool to see her and the ward again, and an absolute honor to baptize her. The baptismal ordinance was one of the first things that I had memorized in Spanish, and I was finally able to say it for realzies this time 😊👐

Being that we are going to get a new mission president in July, we are going to make a music video for our current mission president and his wife, the McBeths. This past week I had the coolest opportunity to record the piano part in a legit recording studio that was inside a member's house! It was so much fun, and I definitely know what I want now in my future house. I ended up meeting the homeowner, Brother Romney, and I later found out that he wrote the primary song, Scripture Power 😮 What an absolute legend!

It was also my companion's, Elder Schneider, birthday on Thursday and we celebrated by going to Buffalo Wild Wings 🍗 We were having a good time, but then it became an even greater time when mijo, Elder Smith, took on the 🔥BLAZIN' CHALLENGE🔥 where he had to eat 10 suuuuuuper spicy wings in under 5 minutes. He not only pounded all those wings with a minute to spare, but he took it like a champ. My favorite part was when the waiters were all hyping him up, but he was like "But I gotta say a prayer first." and he made everyone wait for the next 10 seconds while he prayed. Gosh I love Elder Smith ❤️

We ended up having to stop teaching José cause we called him and he was a bit drunk and he called our church a lie and a bunch of good stuff like that. But that's all okay because we put someone else on date for baptism this week! Her name is Keili, and she's 9 years old, and she told us that she reeeeally wants to get baptized as soon as possible so we set her date for June 26th so her parents can make the necessary arrangements, so I should be having another baptism pretty soon!

I hope this week was just as awesome for all of you as it was for me! I love you!

Elder Terry
