Ha I know I'm going to say it over and over again like every other
missionary, but I felt like I was in the MTC just yesterday. Ha
especially because my MTC companion is my district leader now and it
reminds me of when we were comps. I'm trying not to count days but
everyone keeps reminding me ha. I'm not going to lie, its hard to keep
focused sometimes but it helps to see how awesome things are going here.
Elder Ramirez and I are doing really good. We have a
golden family of four (minus the dad) who get to church by themselves on
time, participate, and ask lots of questions. On Saturday
I also got to cross off one of the biggest things on my mission Bucket
List. Baptism on the Beach!!! Ha we were able to have a baptism for
David on the beach because he's a Marine Biologist and is in charge
of cleaning the beaches and stuff. It was so awesome and so special. We
left the church with about 50 people in a bus to take us all there
together. We passed some people on the way to our spot and I can only
imagine what they were thinking when they say so many men with ties on
the beach ha. My comp got to baptize him and I shared a message and was one
of the witnesses so I got to get in the ocean too! First and only time
on the mission!
I'll try to send pics today.
SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE!!! 2 Nephi 26:24
HASTA LO PRONTO!
Love,
Elder Shurtliff
