That's a pretty crazy story and must be really exciting for any missionary. Because of modern-day technology, we have actually been able to look at where he is staying which is really cool. Our dad really likes it :)
A crazy miracle from this week is that at the baptism of the other Elders. A friend showed up of the person that was to be baptized. He showed up in white clothes, sandals, and had a change of clothes and told us he wanted to be baptized. That was a wonderful miracle.
As for the week, we came up with some activities to do with the branch, a service project, and an activity where the whole branch will contact the people in the swap meets. We also planned a mini MTC where an ex missionary marriage will be and the President and wife and will train everyone and then they will work as missionaries for a day. Then the mission president will come and give a charla foganera.
As for Halloween, around here it was so far from the border that the day was pretty much a bunch of kids wreaking havoc. Dia de los Muertos it is a good tradition with a lot of crazy little things. Lots of houses put up a sort of altar thing with a picture velas and food that the person liked and dedicate the day to the dead. As for the church here, the construction on the chapel should begin soon. The President of the mision explained to me that he wants to divide the branch. With two branches the church can form a district and with five branches in the district the district can become a stake. It is awesome knowing that I am playing some sort of small part in that.
I am good on money. The teaching is going great. I actually have to go to Ensendad today for a special training session. The bike is good although it squeaks a lot because there is a lot of polve (dust) in these pueblitios. How did Michelles date go? Will you send me wedding pictures? As for my address, dad the house actually doesn´t have one. If you can see the quartel of the 67 battalion we live on the side of the base that favors ensenada in yellow Apartments. As for the camera, it seems to be working okay now, I´ll let you know if it starts acting up again,
For Christmas I would love ties, MOTAB CD´s, New Shirts, Garments, slippers, pull and seal envelopes and a portable hard drive to upload all my photos, and maybe a super sweet camera.
I have to go and get on the bus love you all and FELICIDADES LIZ AND JAKE.
Love, Elder Baria
P.S. I sent a card to Jake. I hope you all get it soon.
