This was a crazy week. Wednesday we had a meeting with President Hernandez and all of the ZLs. He taught us some stuff that Elder Duncan from the 70 told him. He was passing the info to us to pass to the Elders and Sisters. When we got there we saw an Elder with crutches but we couldnt tell who it was. When we got closer we saw that it was Elder Elggren. A ZL from another zone, an elder with 15 months in the mission, and with a broken foot. He had a cast on it. He had broken it on Monday playing soccer. He took his flight home on Friday and probably has already had the surgery that he needs. He was pretty bummed out that he had to go home. It is even tougher because he will have to serve the last 9 months of his mission after he heals. I didnt know him too well, but I feel bad for him. With that accident and other minor injuries over the past 2 years that president hernandez has been here he has decided that we are no longer allowed to play soccer, or any contact sport. I am happy that I got to play for 17 months at least. I feel way bad for those that are starting out. We understand why the rule is there though.
The good news is that we had a baptism on saturday! It was possibly Elder Reyes and mine last baptism together because changes are on wednesday. I was very happy. Her name is Ilsy. We didnt know at the first of the week if she would be able to on saturday or not because she was gone from monday to friday. We even taught her last pday in the morning before she left. We were happy to find out on saturday that she had done all of the reading that we assingned her, and was living the commandments, and wanted to be baptized still. She had some big challenges last week but she made it through them I am happy for her. After the baptism we made the peanut butter cookies that mom sent me at valentines day to celebrate. I saved them for a special occasion. It was a fun night.
The changes will happen this week. Our zone will be downsizing a bit and I may have a new area. We will just have to see what President says. My companion has an interview with him in an hour so we will see if he can get some info out of him today so that we dont have to wait until tomorrow. It is so suspensful. We want to stay together but we realize that it is not likely. I love you all so much. Keep enjoying your summer!
Love Elder Comstock
