Some neat things happened this week!
It was my last week in Nocedal, which was a little sad. I really like that ward! I said goodbye to some investigators and some Venezuelans too, also a little sad.
But there's some good news: Fransisca, our 13 year-old investigator, is getting baptized this Saturday!!!! And yesterday, she said she wanted me to baptize her! And in my new ward, we have a Haitian baptism this Sunday... so that's cool.
My new ward is in the same zone as my first one (when I first came to the mission). It's actually right next door. My comp is very cool. His name is Elder Albuquerque. He's a Brazilian from Recife and has been in the mission for about 13 months. He's very excited about being a DL which makes me happy 'cause he'd be my first comp as DL that actually wanted to serve as DL.
Our sector has a few Haitian investigators and it turns out my comp speaks Creole... Actually, the 2 lessons we had yesterday we did in Creole. I felt like I was back in my training again
But actually, I know enough to understand my comp pretty well and I might end up learning it, too, to continue with the investigators we have. However, we won't be putting much more focus on Haitians because there won't always be Creole-speaking missionaries in the ward.
Anyway, I'm really happy about my new ward and comp and we shall see how things go this first week!
Have a great week!
