Elder Jordan Saunooke ~ 7/3/17 ~ 20 months, first move, and two baptisms

Hi family!!! I cant believe that tomorrow I hit twenty months in the mission field!! Literally everytime someone asks me how much time I have left and I tell them, they respond saying... o ya mero te vas... or in english youre basically giong home:P

At first this week was a little hard because I honestly learned my area in two days because its so small... but we are finding people and i think we have three pueblitos we are going to be working in:) On Tuesday we had to move houses and we moved to the furthest but newest part of Arboleda that is called Cielo Alto... it looks super fresa and nice but its more low key that what it looks like. That was the first time that ive had to change houses in 20 months in the mission because I always have avoided it but I guess it finally caught up to me. 

My area has a recent convert that is 19 years old that is seriously one of the most powerful converts i have ever met. He got baptized three weeks ago and I would swear he has been a member his whole life. 

This week we had two baptisms of a mom and a daughter that are really such great examples to me. The Dad was going to get baptized too but he kinda pulled a nutty last second and took off for another state without warning.. I think he will come back though. Anyway these two amazing women (one of them 16 years old) still decided to get baptized this week and are strong as ever in their testimony of the true church of Jesus Christ. 

I met the coolest family ever this week that lives in the counter corner of our house. They are the Familia Rivero and they actually lived in Florida for 4 years! They are so good to us and literally whatever we need at whatever time they do it automatically without even asking. Food, washer and dryer, or whatever and are so great to the missionaries. The ward has the biggest assistence I have seen since i got on the mission and we were about 150 on Sunday!

Love you all
Elder Jordan Saunooke
