Uh... from last Wednesday to now

So I'm sick and everyone is making a big deal out of it. Last night, my companion prayed and thanked the Lord that I wasn't dead. As if the flu could kill me.

I'm wearing a face mask in the public library as I'm writing this too. I feel so stupid.

Anyways, I just found out that apparently I have a blog which I can't check. If anyone so feels inclined to check it out, here's the link. http://elderartemiogarcia.blogspot.com/

I know it's probably not as good as if I were to do it myself, but I'm sure it's good nonetheless because it's about me. And as we have read from the scriptures, whatever is good is of God. And since I am good, I am of God.

So on Saturday, I had four more baptisms with me personally baptizing two of them. It was the Maestas family. My companion, Elder Elbert, baptized Michael (the father) and Armando (the nine year old son) while I baptized Lisa (the mother) and Alize (the oldest son). Lisa was kinda heavy (as in like 2 to 3 times my weight) but with the power of God, I was able to dunk her once. Alize was a breeze after that.

On Sunday they were confirmed and I personally did the confirmation of Lisa.

Other things that are noteworthy that happened on Sunday, I can't say because I would be thoroughly chastized by a certain someone *cough Rae Toale cough* if I said it.

Yesterday was my first day as "senior companion". For the last week of my first transfer, I get to be senior companion.

During the day, we were able to committ 5 people (two of them accepted) and we added 4 new investigators. It was a pretty successful day up until I got sick. Yesterday I did nothing. Today, I'm oot and aboot (even though I shouldn't be for some reason or another). So that's basically it.

The weather here sucks and the bums are crazy.

Oh yeah, on Thursday I had 24's with my Zone Leader Elder Satterfield (24's are when you spend the whole day with another missionary). While we were street contacting, John Bytheway passed us and I didn't even know it. Till next week...
