Agua Prieta 4/29

¡Hola de Agua Prieta! Sunday morning I was suprisingly transferred out of Hermosillo after only 1.5 months. It was a pretty eventful week this past week in Hermosillo so it was a little sad to get moved out of there but oh well. I got here late last night after a 6 hour bus ride so I didn{t get to write any (hence me emailing today) But about this last week....

We fasted for our investigator Maria Isabel and had a great lesson with her and invited her to see a baptism on Saturday, she accepted, came to the basptism and right after told us that she would like to be baptized this Saturday!!! We also learned how to make the famous giant tortiallas that they have in Hermosillo. Alejandrina{s son finally accepted to listen to us and even accepted a baptismal datein May. La familia Acosta that we taught in Guaymas called me on Sunday to tell me that their daughters were baptized tat day. Xochitl cut it off with her BF and came back home. The weird part was when we helped this very very VERY (overly) friendly family carry a ton of heavy stuff to their house, and started to talk with them but we quickly left after feeling like some really weird was going in that house. Long story short they are basically a family of witches. If you think witches don{t exist, come to MExico. And we talked to one of our investigators (Bianca, the nice lady who invited us to eat hot dogs and then apparently uploaded a billion fotos to face) and her friend about this and then her friend confessed to also prcticing witchcraft and explained what this creepy family was intending to do to us. So I guess the good news is I am out of Hermosillo away from the witches and in Agua Prieta with all the narcos (drug lords). Agua Prieta is on the border of Arizona and Mexico. I can see practically see the motherland from our house. But all the drug trafficing here I think will beworth the access we have to American Milk and a bearable amount of heat. 
My new Companion is Elder Guillen from Peru, and also speaks no English, but thats just my normal life now.

That{sabout all the time I have for now. Love and miss you all!!!!!!! I will send pics next week!
