This week we progressed a lot.
Again 17 to church but considering it was election day that was a huge success.We have a baptism lined up for this weekend with a family of 6 but only 3 are old enough to baptize, the mother is single and super awesome, I am super happy we found them they have been soaking up our lessons and are repenting and it is awesome. I got to give her baby a name and a blessing this Sunday, it was a super cool experience.We have been picking up a ton of investigators which is nice, Elder Torres doesn't like me when I get restless and bored because we have to contact, because knocking doors is very inefficient and not effective. Working with members is by far the most successful and funnest way to teach people, everyone involved, the investigator, the member and the missionaries are blessed and learn when we work with the members.Elder Torres is a little weird, he talks to himself but not in any language, he weighs 93 pounds. But he is cool and he is adapting to me and I to him and though we are super different from each other we can teach super dynamic and awesome lessons together.But it is so sweet here in Jalapa, the weather is heaven, a lot like Oregon in July. We have had so many cool experiences, we have ran into people who have been affiliated with or members of the church for years but when they moved to Jalapa they lost it, but randomly we have been finding them. Hard work and Obedience and the Lord takes care of the rest.I am starting to love living in a third world country, everything is a challenge and an adventure, like walking to a mountain village and having to catch Elder Torrito (meaning small Torres) because he is afraid of the group of bulls in the path or the pack of stray dogs, he hates animals. Everything is harder but more enjoyable if you have the right mindset.Love you all, hope everyone is doing well, sorry not much time this week to write.Elder Morrison
