This week was quite a week. On Tuesday we had to go to the hospital because Elder Guerra had an appointment to check on something. All in all it took out 6 hours of our day because Zárate is pretty far away from everything. The cool thing was that we got to eat lunch at a nearby Subway, which was delightful.

On Wednesday I got to go on exchanges with Elder Caifual in my area. Elder Caifual has been out on the mission for 3 months. He is from Chile, and is a fantastic missionary and friend. He has a lot of energy and is really grateful to be a missionary. I learned a lot from him and enjoyed the day a lot.

On Friday we had a special meeting with the Stake President, Presidente Frias and Presidente Ayre to talk about the missionary work in the stake. The meeting was in Baradero, so President stopped by to pick us up and take us there in his car. He also brought my ex-companion  and great friend Elder Fabila to accompany him, so I got to spend a while with him again, which was great. After the meeting, President brought us back to Zárate and he left Elder Fabila with us, so I got to do exchanges with him! My two companions, Elder Núñez and Elder Guerra, worked together and I got to work with Elder Fabila again! It was so much fun and so great to be with him again. He did the baptismal interview of Ezequiel and he passed it.

Ezequiel was baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. It was a really great baptismal service and there were even refreshments! Woohoo! We baptized and ate cake, it was great.

Well, that's about it for the week! Que la fuerza les acompañe!

Love,

Elder John William Garrett
