Hey familia!!! Well this has been just an awesome week! Honestly flew right on by. I literally feel like I wrote you guys yesterday! I am soo tired!! ha ha This week I only got like 6 hours of sleep every night because of all the stuff that we had to do!!
This week we had 4 baptisms in the zone and had to do the interviews in Guabo which is like 30 minutes away! So we did them, and then that night got a call that we were going to have training the next day with Presidente Torres!! YESS!!
So it was the day before the training and we were just sleeping normally untill we got a call at midnight saying the assistants were at our door and wanted to sleep with us. So, they slept with us that night! The next day got up at 5 to get ready for everything and we went but the AC didn't work and everyone was just blazing hot! So Presidente said were changing capillas (chapels) and there were 4 zones there about 10 missionaries and we had to move them all and they wanted to do it in our Capilla! We were soo stressed and so we weren't able to enjoy the meeting to the fullest but then he wanted us to talk for about 10 minutes in front of everybody. So me and my companion (I wasn't that nervous and I have no idea why I wasn't ) but we talked and I thought it went really good! My companion and I got called up in front of everyone because in these 4 zones we had the most lessons with members which was 41! Eso !! ha ha then the next few days we were just us working our tails off!
We were soo blessed the 4th of July, we had a baptism!! It was great!!! So I didn't celebrate it this year with fireworks but a baptism which is cool! KEVIN! He's funny he's a black man that I showed you guys that picture he reminds me of Brooke! He has your personality! It's always such a blessing to have baptisms! Then fast Sunday was amazing! I love fast Sundays!! I bore my testimony about the power of the book of Mormon! It was awesome! I love this work and I LOVE THE SUN! It's soo hot here I cant even tell you but were sweating and working in the Obra Del Senor!! (Lord's Work) LOVE YOU FAMILY!! thanks for everything!!!
Special experience: We were talking to a family who the guy beats his wife in front of his kids. She was just bruised all over and then sat down to talk to us in their really really humble bamboo house and their dirt rock floor. Their house is really as big as our family room. We talked to them about the family and I talked to them about my wonderful Dad! How he would always treat my Mom like a princess and I felt it was perfect for this family because they are the exact opposite! My Dad never ever yells at my mom. Always buys her flowers and they are the perfect example of unity in the home. My Dad treats my mom like that so I know when I am older I will do the same for my kids and it totally changed the lives of this family! Thanks to my wonderful example of my parents I could help change the lives of this poor family!
Love you all, Elder Hammond
