So we dropped off Elder Boyle this week. I'm gonna miss him big time. I was told I should be getting a new companion, but while I wait, I'll be in this trio! I'm with the other 2 Elders in our district, and they are so much fun. They're hilarious. I don't think I've ever laughed so much in one week.
Something super special this week was we had Yalines baptism. It was an experience I will never forget. She had asked me to be the one to baptize her, and it was a sweet sweet experience. I traded ties with Elder Boyle before he left, and I decided to wear his tie to the baptism on his behalf, and it also happened to match her dress! It was a powerful service. She was super excited and nervous, and when I pulled her out of the water, I heard her gasp and saw tears rolling down her face. I swear, I don't hug women on the mission, because its against the standards, but I did not have a choice here. Please forgive me. She said later that as she came out of the water, she saw incredible light everywhere. The spirit was so strong. Her testimony of Jesus Christ, the Church, and the Book of Mormon is so so strong. She is so elect and it was a privilege to get to teach her.
Anyways, it's been amazing here in Odessa! Please keep praying for Elder Boyle, and that I'll get a companion quickly (preferably Elder Boyle). I love you all!!
