Hey y'all!
These past couple of weeks have been really great! Elder Larsen and I have been working hard and we're teaching a lot of really cool people!
The mission decided to take our car and move us into a car share with the other elders in our apartment. We were given a pair of bikes to compensate for the loss of a car. Biking under the Texas sun is brutal and exhausting, but we've also found some cool people while riding. After almost a year in San Antonio, Elder Larsen is flying out to Panama this week for the rest of his mission. I will be put in a trio with the other two elders in my apartment and we will be double-covering our two areas, which is super exciting!
I had a really great birthday yesterday! We had dinner with a part Brazilian family, and they went all out. We had this crazy soup with octopus, fish, scallops, squid, and crab. It tasted super good! They also baked me a fudge caramel cake and sang happy birthday to me in both English and Portuguese.
We've been teaching this awesome guy named Dan. He has been making a lot of changes in his life and it's super cool to see! Just over a week ago we invited him to be baptized, and he set a goal for July 4th. The next week when we saw him he told us that he had told all his friends about his baptism so that he couldn't back out. He said "One friend told me I was losing it. I told him I was gaining it." His testimony is awesome! Dan keeps telling us that he is all in, and we are super excited for him.
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Lots of Love!
