Sweating Profusely

Pension hunting this week was horrible. We didn´t find anything. We wasted a whole afternoon looking and didn´t even find one potential option. Luckily our water is back on so we will probably just be staying where we are.

Something awesome recently and that is we met Sergio. We were walking down a street one day and we hear someone yell to us in English, hey where your hat the sun is too hot here your head will explode. I was thinking about ignoring it because there are every now and then people who speak a little English and want to talk to us because of it. But I decided we had better talk to him. It turns out he lived in the states for ten years because his dad was an ambassador. We set an appointment to go back but I didn´t give much credit to it because I thought he just wanted to speak English but you never know. When we went back it turns out that he is really awesome and that he not only speaks English but really wants to change his life. He came to church that first week without problem and now a second week. His baptism is set for the eighteenth but it might change to this week, we will see.
This Sunday in church Silvia our recent convert had an epilepsy attack. She started convulsing and foaming from the mouth. It was really nuts. We gave her a priesthood blessing while members called the ambulance. It really helped out but she still did have another attack. She had a total of four attacks, it was all really crazy. We went to visit her that night and she was fine. The only problem was that she was too nervous to stand up during sacrament meeting to go get water to take her pill so by the time it was over it was too late.
The other elders that are here in Fontana just got transferred out today. Elder Guajardo´s comp got switched for an Emergency Transfer. So Elder Guajardo went to Formosa. Now we have half of Fontana again and the sisters have the other half.
We were a little sad became a part of our area, bueno at least what should be our area was stolen from us. The sisters from Barrio cuatro claimed it as theirs and they don´t even work it. The sad thing is that we had three people with fetchas there and one was golden... The one good thing is we inherited the elders fecha who came to church this last week since their area is now closed. But I know it will all work out.
Our area is doing really quite good right now. We have four or five people that all should be baptized before the end of this month and transfer. That is pretty exciting. More than that we are doing a lot of looking for prepared people. And that is our story for right now.
The first half of our pday today was spent at the other elders pensh taking stuff for our own since they are clearing theirs out. They are both already gone.
My clothes are all holding up really well. My shoes are starting to get a little old but I still have my other pair. I am holding out on my replacement clothes until after the summer because the summer is very damaging and wearing. After it I will open all of my replacements and start using those. But really everything is holding out really good.
I have heard it is very cold right now in the states.. Colder than previous years or something?  Here it is hotter than I have ever been in my life.... but I would still take that over extreme cold, haha It can get miserable especially during study’s when the power is out due to extreme heat and you sweat profusely but yeah, haha It really started to pick up in heat after Christmas but we are told this is still nothing and wait until the end of this month and February..... I can´t imagine it hotter but we will see. I feel like I walk around in a steam room all day pretty much.
 I love you guys so very much and can´t wait to hear from you next week
