Sounds like everythings doing well back home. I'm looking at this email now so i can't really remember what was on the other one other than everyone's sad about school ending but hey what else is new.
Our week was incredible! My new companion is awesome. He's part of the first batch of a new era of missionaries. They've reformed the training that they are giving at the MTC to focus more on following the Spirit while teaching. We've been trained and briefed on it out here but this is the first batch of missionaries to receive the new training. They trounce out all of us. I've never see a more reverent and Spirit driven, new group of missionaries come out before.
My companion is Elder Smith. He's from Kansas City, Kansas and he's actually has a relation to Joseph's Smith's line! (Even if it is super distant it's pretty cool!) He's really dedicated and puts a lot of himself in to his work. The coolest part of the week was definitely that Elder Smith was able to have his first baptism his first week. He baptized one of the investigators we'd been working with for most of last transfer and it was a really awesome experience.
It was a father and his daughter who were baptized and it was just an amazing moment, as it always is, to see them entering in to sacred covenants with their Father.
We're excited for many more baptisms this transfer and excited to grow with each other and towards our Savior!
-Elder Guinto
