There are two pictures of a tarantula that we found in my district leaders apartment while we were traveling for our zone meeting that was on Wednesday. |

 |
| One picture is of Zicatela, and has the beach, well far away.. |
 |
| So one is the very stereotypical baptismal picture with Paco in the middle, Hermana Ana Cristina (Paco's Mom) And on the far left is one of his older sisters. |
 |
| Elder Seañez with our little friend as well. |
 |
| Also two picture of a little creature that is a pet of one of the members. To be completely honest I have no idea what it is. I know the word in Spanish starts with a T but I can't remember it. |

But this week was a week of firsts! First zone meeting, first tarantula, first companion exchanges, first baptism and confirmation. And it was a great week!
So Tuesday we had some good appointments but it didn't seem like many people are progressing. Tuesday night we spent in Zicatel just outside of Puerto Escondido. This is where we found the tarantula.
Wednesday we traveled to Santa Maria Hautulco which makes me think of California, and had a zone meeting with President Madsen. Wednesday afternoon I said goodbye to my companion for a couple of days for exchanges. Which was really weird for the first few hours but I got used to it after that.
Thursday I spent all day in Zicatela with Elder Castro, who is cool but knows next to no English, so while it was difficult, it wasn't terrible. He only has 3 weeks more than me on his mission... So that was interesting, but it was a good day and we talked to a lot of people and the members we ate dinner with gave us dessert and I don't think I've ever eaten so much ice cream in one sitting...
Friday I came back to Rio Grande and we had a few appointments with some investigators but it was mostly spent getting ready for Paco's baptism.
Saturday, we had a wonderful baptism, and then most of everybody went over to Hna. Ana Cristina's house for a party, get together thing that had food. It was fun. Nothing super crazy mostly just a lot of talking in Spanish... But there is this one 18 year old girl who lives in California who knows perfect English, but she has only helped me a couple of times translate what I want to say into spanish. So I haven't actually heard her speak english yet....
Sunday was good! We met with multiple of our investigators and they are starting to progress more and it's super great!
And then today has been good We cleaned the house and wrote and washed clothes and stuff and I'm actually starting to enjoy hand washing my clothes! It is kinda relaxing, mentally at least. Physically it is bit of work but nothing to terrible.
I wanted to share a scripture that has been helpful this week so here it is!
Sorry about the weird copy and paste stuff.
"And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle, easy to be entreated; full of patience and long suffering; being temperate in all things, being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive." Alma 7:23
YEAH! Paco got baptised on Saturday!
