Alright story time! So this week we
got to have a baptism in our area, but not one of our investigators! But it was
awesome! The other elders couldn’t baptize him in their area because they don’t
have a chapel! So they came and I got to participate in the service with my
guitar. I played and sang with Elder Griffin, another
Elder from Arizona! He’s the one on the
far right with the glasses! He’s really cool and has less time in the mission
than me!
The guy that got baptized is named Francisco
and he’s super awesome. He has been listening to the missionaries for years! He
just never wanted to give up coffee! But he did finally and the baptism was
super awesome!
OK… so after the baptism we went to
visit this family and ended up doing some hardcore service! We walked with them
like 20 minutes to find some tree to cut down because that is how they make their
money! And of course while we were out there it started to rain really hard. We
didn’t have umbrellas or anything, and the trunks were like 100 pounds or
more. We had to haul them on our shoulders back to their house!
The picture of my shirt is what it
looked like after that. But I felt so good after it, even though I was soaking
wet and tired. Those were the craziest and BEST
things that happened this last week. I love you guys and hope everyone is all
good! I love you! Elder Hoy
