Week 40 - Elder Duncan and a baptism

Hello Family!

Hope you're all doing great. This week was super super good. As usually, and just like Maren, I forget everything that happened as soon as I get here to write, but I promise things are actually happening, we're not total bums. 

So, I'm feeling much better - the virus only lasted a few days, and I'm feeling fine now.

Area President, Central America

Well this week Elder Duncan was in town and we got to go to a multizone conference with him. He taught us a ton about how to teach our investigators better and to work more with the members. President Hayes also talked to us about having more faith and dedicating ourselves more to the work.

On Friday I had my first leadership council which was super cool because Elder Duncan came to that to help us out a little more and teach us a little more personally. Super super cool. Got to talk a little one on one with him, which was so amazing. Really humble, genuine man. The only bad part was that I had heard a ton about how awesome the food is that they give us for these meetings, but all we got was pinto and some tortillas, stuff we eat almost every day haha but oh well, it was fun. 

We had a baptism this week! This super sweet lady named "T" who has been coming to church the last 2 months even though she lives really far away. We actually had never been able to teach her, just over the phone or really quickly after church, but she kept coming and last week finally decided she wanted to get baptized. We had it this saturday and she was so happy and left with the biggest smile I've ever seen haha Love those moments as a missionary.

Anyway, hope you guys are doing awesome. Love you all so much! Sorry it's so short!
