Fadiles

Hi Everyone!

Things are going well here.  The update for this week is that Fadiles got baptized, there's been tons of rain and I got a new companion.  

The highlight was Fadiles’ baptism.  I am so happy for her and was honored she asked me to baptize her. 

It was sad saying goodbye to Elder Almeida.  He has been an incredible companion and friend.  My new companion, Elder Gomez, is from Uruguay.  He's an interesting guy.  He's very loud and talks a ton but has good intentions!  He eats chips and cookies all day long so I'm going to try to help him eat a little healthier and exercise.

One day last week I was having a hard day and read this quote from Elder Dawson's quote book: "You must have long range goals to keep you from getting frustrated by short range failures." -Charles C. Noble.  I also was trying to keep in mind my Grandpa's email about the importance of having a positive attitude.  Good advice.  

Overall, things are really good here.  We are still teaching lots of English classes to the Chileans and Spanish classes to the Haitians.  I love this area, the ward and these people.  I'm grateful to be a missionary.  

Thanks for your emails/letters,

con amor,

Elder Vincent
