Jared Barton's Mexican Fiesta : Sister missionary in the hospital, baptisms and las Torres

Hola!

Another pretty great week in la gran mision! We had 2 more baptismal services yesterday. One miracle that we found a few weeks ago named Gaby. The rule is, if there is a 9 year old kid that hasn´t been baptized, and his/her family are members, it counts as a convert. Gaby had her 9th birthday last Thursday, so it counts as a convert for us! The services were amazing because she had a lot of family come in from different parts of Toluca and Metepec. The family basically did the services, giving talks and saying the prayers, then her dad baptized her. My comp. and I sung her favorite hymn in english in a duet. It was fun to support her and to see a big family support. Then later on in the night, we baptized the mom of la familia Brito! We completed the family that we were teaching, they just have 2 more kids that have never had interest to listen to us. but we are working with that! We also had interviews with President Whitehead! He always says what we need to hear and gives us good advice. One thing that he said to me was that I´m basically staying in Las Torres again for the next change! it´s still not for sure, but he basically said I´m going to stay in the area with another kid! I would love to train again and I would love to stay in this ward for 6 more weeks. But we will find out the for sure changes in 2 weeks! Also this week, we had to make a run to the hospital to see one hermana in our district. She was having some problems with her heart and was having a weird heartbeat. She stayed in the hospital Monday to Thursday and left just fine. They didn´t need to operate or anything, they just needed to do some tests to make sure that everything was ok. They gave her some medicines to take and sent her off and she got right back to work. When we left the hospital doors, we saw another hermana from our mission making calls outside. We went over to see what was going on and she said that her companion was in the hospital as well...her companion is new like Elder Higbee, and was having stomach problems. We got news that she left on Friday this week and is doing well now. Also this week, I received a package from Lindsy! I loved it! I got it way before my birthday as planned. haha. But it´s ok because she got her present early. Other than that, my kid and I are doing great. We are baptizing, and we are finding, and having fun. We are learning a lot from each other and it´s just a blast being with him. I think I´m going to stay in Las Torres and he is going to leave, but I kind of hope we stay together as well. We will see in 2 weeks. I love you all!

Con amor,

Elder Barton
