"Hey everyone!!This week has been pretty good. I got some news. Im now in a companionship of 3 people. Me and my companion Elder Salavarrieta are with another missionary named Elder Garcia. Hes a cool guy. Hes actually a Panamanian and is waiting for a visa to go to Brazil. They're not sure how long he will be with us but I don't mind. Hes cool. This week has been pretty good working wise. The baptism of Robelia got pushed back again but we are hoping to do it this upcoming Saturday. Also, we finally moved into our home. For the past 5 weeks, we've been living with the other 2 missionaries in Veracruz. However, it hasn't been all that great because the house was tiny. We couldn't move into the other house because the sister missionaries there didn't have a house in their area due to contract problems. However, when I heard that I was getting another comp' I made some calls since there wasn't space for him and the sister missionaries moved the next day into the home of other sister missionaries in the city closer to their area. Something I had actually asked about them doing earlier in the transfer but never happened. O well. We have a house. The best part, I found a place to put up a hammock. haha! I was missing that ability in the other house. I'm happy. Today was a fun day. We went into the city and visited a museum that I wanted to see. Its another museum about the canal and I decided it would be cool. It was pretty interesting. Personal opinion, I liked the museum at the actual canal better. Still cool though. Also, we went to smash burger today. I'm pretty sure that was my first time ever eating there. It was a little expensive but really good. A fun pday today. This week we had 4 investigators we are teaching in church. That was great. Me and my comps guard a convoy of grandkids belonging to Robelia to church each week. Robelia loves going to church and wants to bring her grandkids. Sweet. She gets them all dressed and we walked all 12 of them to the church. haha! This week some woman we talked with on the street tried kissing my companion. I nearly died laughing. I couldn't help it. Well.. I think that pretty much sums up the week. I love all you guys. Have a good week!!!"
