Sorry for not writing on Monday

Feb 14, 2013

Dear Family,

Well, this week has been exciting. Sorry for not writing on Monday. We didn't have a p-day because they locked us up in the house for Carnival. It's a South American party that is Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. They have a nationwide water party and ink, mud, oil and anything else you can think of is thrown anywhere and everywhere, so they locked us inside. This week, Carlota de Jesus got baptized and yes, I did baptize her with the right arm to the square....we noticed this the other day in the picture and we have got to talk to the zone leaders to see what to do. But I don't know what they can do because Roberto blessed the sacrament Sunday and got the Priesthood. Ooops....well, God is understanding but we still better see what we can do about it.

At 10:00 Sunday night we got a sad call saying that Elder Poret is being transferred. We had to go to the station at 2:30 a.m. To drop him off with 5 other missionaries from our zone. It was sad. I love that guy. He was a great companion and will be a successful missionary. I was able to pick up a cheap harmonica a few weeks back and I played to the departing missionaries, “God be with you till we meet again” It was funny but sad. My new comp is from Argentina and has only 11 weeks in the mission. He has the fire that I had when I was a new missionary. With my old age in the mission some of that fire has been lost but it's good he keeps me going.

So a couple weeks back I sent some letters, have you gotten them? Let me know. I love you all so much. I hope to hear from you all soon.

Love Elder Profaizer
