Week 91



 Well, We got our changes saturday morning and......I didn't get changed, in fact my companion Elder Hernandez got changed and he's goign to my old Zone. He's going to San Pedro!!! Elder Hernandez will end his mission there as he only has 6 weeks left, and I will be Receiving Elder Ramirez. I've known Elder Ramirez now for a couple months, I believe he just completed a year or a little bit more, but I will now have 5 changes here in Iztacalco or 7 and a half months!!!!! by far it's the longest are I've ever had. Actually Everyone in the zone that arrived with me got changed, in fact some people in the zone that got changed after my first change here are coming back into the zone, doesn't that make me feel old!!! I've been able to see this zone be revolutionized and changed like no other. I'm going to miss Elder Hernadez but I'll still see him every monday. Oh and Elder Carrigan my first " child" is coming into the zone as well. Elder Johnson my " second child" is now secretary in the mission offices, I don't know if I ever told you guys, but I always knew he was going to be secretary. He's just so smart.  I actually put in a good ward to the president to choose him haha
  We had a wonderful baptism. I don't have the pictures right now , because my camera died, right as I was about to take the picture, but Elder Brower took them for us, It was an awesome baptism, highly spiritual and truly blessed by the Lord. Ernestina invited all of her family to come and see and so there were plenty of people to visit. We are also putting in practice everything that Elder Johnson taught us and we are so busy with the work here, our area is really moving along
  This week we had to do the evaluations of the new Elders that ended there 12 week training we had interchanges for 48 hours, which was hard, once you get to love your area, you don't have very many desires to leave it to an area that is struggling. We got locked out of our house for a few hours until a member brought us the keys that elder Hernandez had, and I had to calm down Elder Lopez who got really mad. He doesn't like being out in the streets at night when you cant get into the house.
  Sorry this letter is short, but I have to go already. I love my mission, it's been really hard these last 6 months, but in Iztacalco I've grown the most in all my life.


-Elder  Ordway
