Week 1 in Acambay in the books. It was really fun with Elder Floisand and we get along great. We´ve had some fun stories about football and baseball, especially because we played each other once in football when we were on the field at the same time. He´s a funny kid and we are really similar. On Sunday, we had a baptism! It was a little girl who´s family was already a member, but they were waiting for some random reason to baptize her. We got their with another member family and we did a family home evening and the members convinced them to baptize their girl. The funny thing is, the little girl is american. haha she was born when the parents were in Alabama for a few years. It was fun to see Birmingham, Alabama as the birthplace. The parents speak english, and the mom was the one that sent you the pics. Her name is Xiomara (see-oh-ma-da). We´re looking forward to helping them move along in the gospel. We also had concilio on Monday and heard some more great messages. Our zone, Atlacomulco, took 2nd place overall, right behind Camarones. Camarones right now is just on fire and they can´t stop baptizing. We had our zone meeting yesterday, and I got to give a talk about President´s message that he gave on Monday. We started the meeting 20 minutes late because some hermanas didn´t feel like showing up on time...we have to talk about that too here in Mexico. Very few show up on time. I love being out here in the middle of nowhere again. The air is clean, there aren´t very many cars, but the people are more Catholic. haha. They have huge catholic churches in every single small town, and few want to go to church that´s 45 minutes away...but we are working hard and loving every second. We have 6 missionaries in our ward, and president said to me yesterday that at the end of these changes, he might move us over by the church more and just take out 2 of the other missionaries. I would love that. haha. Well that´s all I got for this week. I love you all!
Con amor,
Elder Barton
