Week 46 (Los Naranjos)

Hey how’s it going. So this week was crazy. First off I had changes, and for the first time I am leaving the city of Ahuachapán. Now I am going to the Rama in Los Naranjos.

It is really cool in this area. It is actually really cold. I wear a sweater every day. The rama has about 30 in assistence and everyone told me you don’t baptize in this area but we arrived here and convinced everyone in the rama we are going to change the rama into a barrio.

Then on Friday we met this kid who is 15, we had two lessons with him, and he accepted to be baptized the 22 of July, and he doesn’t need to get married haha. Also we find another family of 3 that are going to come to church this week. We are going to baptize like crazy here. I love this area already.

I loved my comp he was from Mexico, but today president called us in the morning and we had emergency changes so basically I am opening area right now cause he gone ya. I don’t know who my comp is, I heard he’s a new person so I think I might be training again, but I don’t know. I was really sad to only have 5 days with him because we literally had everything in common.

Also Its really wet and cold were I am at and is the mountains of El Salvador. and there are two volcanoes by us. I’m out of time to write already but Have a good week.

Love Elder Blanchard

Week 45 (Nopal)

Hey this week was pretty good, I still don’t know if there are changes yet, no one in the zone knows yet. We are so close to baptizing a bunch of people. They just won’t accept dates, get married, or come to church.

We have this family is this guy was a drunkie and we found his house by pure inspiration a couple weeks ago, now he’s come two time to church, we haven’t seen him bolo for a while, and right now we are teaching his two kids, and they want to prepare to be baptized, and the dad wants it too, but the dad wants them to wait 7 months... but we will be working with them this week if I don’t have changes.

Um nothing really too exciting happened this week. Oh We had an apostle come talk to all the missions in El Salvador, and so we went to San Salvador all of Tuesday. It was really cool. I had a cool experience with him. It was Dale Rendlund,

We will see if I have changes. I am a little bored of this area though because it’s really small, and I already know everyone in the area haha. Of also this week on Monday I did an interview for baptism and she wanted me to baptize her so I technically had a baptism this week.

Everything is good though. Happy Birthday Dad and happy father’s day. I wish I could be home to help with some yard work for your birthday.
