This has been one of the hardest weeks yet, but also the most rewarding. Elder Scott is now safely in his home, and it was hard for me to say goodbye to such a good friend and such a good missionary. I love that guy like family. Saying goodbye to him was a lot like saying goodbye to all of you back in september. Hard, but I know it is the right thing. But my new companion is awesome. His name is Elder Read, He went to Davis high school and he is from Layton Utah. He is taller than I am which is pretty awesome because when all the kids here see us walk by, they drop their little corn on stick with mayonnaise and stare with with their mouth wide open and big wide eyes. I think we might be the two tallest people in the country. At least that is the way people act when they see us. He is an awesome missionary and has such a good testimony. He is here for the right reasons and he works hard. His spanish is not the best, but He has no fear and just speaks his testimony the best he knows how. He really testifies with the spirit and you can feel it.
In our first lesson together we got 2 new investigators to commit to a baptismal date. It was really an incredible experience, we taught the restoration and then my comp invited them to be baptized, and then I invited them to be baptized because they didn't understand him at all, and they accepted. Then I was like, We think you guys should try to be baptized by the 21st of February and they said that is perfect. And it really was perfect because they had already planned on getting married on the 14th which means they will be living the law of chastity for the week before their baptism. SO SICK! I don't know why I just felt I needed to put the date for the 21st and it turned out perfect. They even went to church this week! The Lord is preparing his children and inspiring his servants.
The worst part of the week: I got pooped on by a bird. That was lame.
