Elder Colton Payne Johns: A week full of surprises is how I would describe this week

Let’s start on Tuesday. Good day, pretty average, but none the less a good day. We ended it with Hector and a testimony meeting lesson at a member’s house. It was very spiritual! And he is so ready to be baptized!

Wednesday is when things started to happen. I woke up at 12:38 in the morning to my comp vomiting his guts out. He then proceeded to vomit for the next 5 hours off and on. So we called the doctor and he came over. Next he told him he would need a shot. So he whips out his bag of goodies and I told them I would be in the other room so I wouldn’t pass out. He ended up with a shot in his behind. That was pretty funny! Needless to say we stayed in the house that day.

Thursday was awesome! We were in a different city all day at a missionary conference with a member of the 70! It was great and I actually learned a lot even though it was in Spanish! Later that night we found out some news. Héctor would not be getting baptized that week. It’s dumb and complicated, but he can’t be baptized this week because we have the temple dedication of Tijuana this Sunday. So that means he’ll be baptized on the 19 of this month... good times.

Saturday we started by finishing the service Project we started last week with the painting! It looked pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. Later that night we had a lesson with Marcela and Diego. We were teaching the plan of salvation and the part of the degrees of glory. Diego then asked us why we don’t all just kill ourselves to get there now! It was pretty funny!

And lastly, Sunday was pretty good. We had church and didn’t manage to have a lesson, but that night we went to the stake center to watch the Christmas special conference thing. I don’t remember the name in English.

Thank you all once again for your prayers.

Stay Classy
