So the last week was terrible. I basically lived it knowing the whole time that I was going to leave Tucuman, which was just dreadful! I am really going to miss my companion Elder Ellertson and the people here!
We had two baptisms which is always a good way to leave an area! Grizelda and Alvaro went down to the waters of Jordan on Saturday! It was amazingly a stress free day! Normally baptism days are way stressful with the interviews that happen and all of the other factors that are virtually out of our hands. The baptisms were beautiful! Grizelda seemed to be shocked as she stood in the water! I thought she was going to pass out for a second! When she came out of the water she was silent for a good 20 seconds and then just started giggling! It was a miracle that we were able to prepare her in such a short time! We met Grizelda about a month ago and have only been able to meet with her on Sundays because she works like crazy. The only reason she was able to progress without meeting with us so much is because she is very professional and committed. She never once slumped church, always read, and just did awesome. I wish everyone was true to their word! The world would be a much better place! Álvaro is awesome too! He is the son of the first counselor of the ward and he just recently moved here from Buenos Aires where he lived with his mom. Álvaro was a gift from the heavens!
I have to go! My time is out. But I love you all so much! Thanks for all the love and good vibes and for thinking of me! We just had transfers and I got sent back to Jujuy! I will be serving as a zone leader with an elder from Canada and I'm sure it will be a great experience! I honestly didn't want to come here again but I'll go where He wants me to go!
Love you all,
Elder Spencer McKee
