Feb 25th- A Week For The Books

here's something I didn't really realize fully until today. I'm on an island. Like, me. Elder Tate.Water. Super crazy. I only realized this today when I sank my teeth into the first mango of the harvest, and the other elder in the house who's from honduras honestly didn't believe that there are no good mangoes back in good ole utah.
Islands > Earth trapped Utah

Yeah, anyway kinda like all of you; I have a very limited time to write EVERYTHING that went down this week. I say week for the books, because honestly it was nothing short of its title. Hewe go.

Had a baptism this week. Yes, you read right. A baptism. I wrote a lengthly story in my journal you can all read later. But long story short. 11 year old Daurys had cold feet, Other elders were buscando for him and I ending up baptizing his sister and one of the other elders' investigators.. A day, that doesn't make sense when you right like I just told you. But believe me, there was no other way. But nonetheless SUPER AWESOME. 

Other news: By the middle of this April, I will have completed 6 months in Hato Mayor. Didn't get transferred. Really, nobody did. So, I'm sticking with Bodily a little while longer. He's a cool cat, but honestly I was feeling a move. In campo I was born, and its lookin like in campo I will go.

Another noticia: BEACH BABY. Ahhhhhh. Spent the whole day in sand, sweat, and cold drinks. Sooo SO awesome to get to smell that salty breath of life once more. Ahh... and you know how when you leave, your hair is left in a way that only the beach knows how to do. Yeah. Theres few things on this earth that compare. But man, I'm tellin you you've never seen tempation until you're beachside with a missionary plaque on. I almost fell. Bodily and I were contemplating practicing our baptizing, and maybe when we finished, we would also practice pulling the plug. Seeing that this have given us obvious trouble in the past.

Yeah, so thats the week in a nutshell. Feel like I'm just copying all you fools, but ¨sorry for the short letter¨ haha. Love you guys so much, it's makin me crazy

Les Quiero Mucho Locos!!!!

Elder Tate
