Junior Gets Baptized!






This week was really good, Junior the 10 year old kid was baptized, he
was really excited for it, he is the only member in his family right
now but we are hoping to teach the rest of his family soon, they all
came to sacrament yesterday and stayed for the baptism afterwards, we
are really happy for them. For the baptism one of the speakers didn't
show up and so the ward mission leader chose me to give a talk on the
spot, that was funπŸ˜¬πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ˜¬ it was a good baptism a lot of people
showed up and supported Junior, if everything goes well this week we
should also have a baptism this weekend, it's a girl named Cindy.

We started teaching this one other girl named Cionette, she is from
Peru and really wants to learn about the church, she already accepted
to be baptized and came to church yesterday. She is really prepared to
learn about the gospel. πŸ‘

Other then that the week was awesome, thank you to everybody for the
birthday wishes, I had a good birthday.

Love,

Easter Week

Happy late eaters everybody, I didn't say it last week but I hope
everybody had a good one.

We had another good week, it was pretty normal nothing different, we
had 8 people at church but a couple of people left before sacrament
even started because we do the sacrament meeting last but that was
still ok.

We are having a baptism this Sunday for sure, Junior a 10 year old kid
will be baptized and I think the bishop will baptize him.

This week we also did a lot of service, on Saturday we did is one
service at the Calderon home, they are a super cool family and we do
service every week for them, we basically clean their house because
they are hoarders and they just have a whole bunch of random crap
laying around everywhere, we go there 2 times a week and we work non
stop for like 2 hours and I still haven't seen any difference, that
how bad their house is, they also have a whole bunch of pets. Turtles,
cats, lizards, a lot of cockroaches and flies haha, we didn't clean
any of this but all of those things makes it smell really bad, anyways
the service we did was we cleaned the basement, the grossest part of
the house and the reason it's really gross is because they have 24
dogs that live their and it smells HORRIBLE down their, we took out
all the cages, scrubbed and cleaned those and then we cleaned the
floor of the basement that had a whole bunch of poop and pee on it.
It's was fun, we are glad we did that for them.

Anyways everything is good.

New ROC



Hey how is it going everyone? So this week was the last week of he
transfers and I'm leaving hunts pointπŸ˜” but I'm going back to the
westchester zone my last zone I came from but I'm gonna be in a
different area I'm gonna be in New Rochelle and my new comp will be
elder Frei, I know him pretty well we have served in the same zone
before.

Some of the stuff that happened this week was that Jeyuri and Amado
received the priesthood and now they will be able to pass the
sacrament on sundays, we are really excited for them, hey are awesome
kids and I will miss them when I leave.

We also had a baptism this Saturday, the sister had a investigator
that got baptized, her name is Rosa Nilda and she asked me if I could
baptize her so I did and then on Sunday I confirmed her a member. It
was a really cool baptism and she is gonna be a really solid member to
this ward.

I really love this area and i wish that I could have been here longer
because 2 cycles is not that much time to get to know everybody but I
did meet some really awesome people and made some good friends.

Love,

Its Been Good

Hello family,

How is everybody? Hopefully everybody is good end enjoying he good
weather, the weather here is getting better, today actually feels
really good, there's no wind and it's sunny so it will be a good day,
also we're doing a BBQ today with a family in our ward.

We are staying really busy and we are teaching a lot of people right
now, it's been great! We still have like 5 people with a baptismal
date and we are gonna have a baptism this Sunday I think, we still
have to talk to the parents of this kid, his name is Junior, hopefully
everything goes good so he can get baptized this Sunday.

This past Sunday was great! We were able to confirm Luz who was
baptized 4 weeks ago before I got here so now she is officially a
member.

Also what made it great was that we had 9 investigators at church, it
was awesome to have that many people come.

We only found 1 new investigator this week, his name is Juan Ramon
he's from Honduras, we were able to drop but for a few minutes last a
couple days ago but he was leaving for work so we rescheduled for this
Friday, he is a really cool guy and I think that if we keep working
with him he will get baptized in the future.

Have a good week

Love,
Elder Pugmire
