Elder Zacharee Thomas Draper: Baptisms and stuff

Hola to all, hope you're all doing fantastic

This was a really good week! Yesterday was the baptism of Mayra and that was awesome to see her finally get to the baptismal font. We met a new guy named Diego this week and our investigator Manuel came to church and is progressing really well.

Weirdest thing happened this week though. On like tuesday we were walking down this street in our area we always do and this combi pulled up in front of us on the corner so we stopped to let it pass. Instead it stops on the corner and the door swings open and I hear "DRAPE!!!" IT WAS MY CONVERTS MIGUEL AND GINA! They left perote, took a two and a half hour bus ride, and then walked all over Xalapa, the biggest city in the mission, looking for me! They just remembered that I was on some hill so they asked what the biggest hill in the city was called and someone told them there was a van that drove up to the top of the hill so they hopped in with high hopes and guess what? They found me. Miguel was crying and he goes "Look what God did for us! We prayed to find you and we did! Look what God did for us!" it was so cool to see them. Miguel is getting the Melkizedek priesthood, Gina is the young womens leader and got her young womens madallion and they are just way good. We ate dinner together there on the corner at a restaurant, took a pic and they headed back to perote. Kind of fun.

Other than those two things it was a pretty chill week! If you wanna read a scripture we used this week, go read Proverbs 17:12. we use it as our parting scripture when Jehovahs Witnesses want to bible bash.

Love you guys, have a great week!!
