It’s your friendly
neighborhood Elder Hironaka. This week was a great week for me. I had a baptism
that I worked super hard for. I’m also going to say mom how happy I am to talk.
I really miss ya.
This week was
Leonardo’s baptism. Leonardo is a 12-year-old kid who is really cool. I have
really connected fast with him and it was super cool to get him baptized. I
have to say though baptisms in my new area a not frequent and it’s hard. It’s
fun but stressful because I have to fight for every baptism. With him I had to
take him out to a different church [building]
for his interview and I had to carry him to the church for the baptism. I’ve
got to say taking him out to the other church was funny I walked in and
everyone looked at me haha. But I told him we needed to leave and he said ok so
it’s not as bad as it sounds. It just looked bad haha. [I
am not sure what he means?]
The other person I want
to talk about is Snydalin. She is 14 and she has wanted to be baptized for years
but her dad said no. Anyway my plan for the past two weeks has been to only
become friends with the dad. He is funny, but he is cool anyway. He loves WWE
and knows a lot of fighters. When I told him I knew who Superfly Snuka was
he just about died, haha. Also thanks to video games I know the names of a lot
of WWE fighters as well. Anyway he calls me his brother, which I think is weird
but whatever. He gave me permission to baptize his daughter this week!!!! Cool
right?
Also this week the ZL
wanted to work with us. My zone leader right now was one of my trainers and he
told me that he was shocked on how much I changed since my training. He said he
was super happy and impressed which made my day.
My companion is good
but he isn’t big into talking and is really shy. He’s nice though and is going
to work hard.
