This week has been quite
eventful... First of all, BOOM! Eleven pounds down the drain! That’s right, I
have officially lost 11 whole pounds! I do feel like I should mention that
because I had gained 16, I am still 5 pounds over my starting weight... But BOOM! I can’t believe it!
We also had
another baptismal service for an awesome guy named Joash! I can’t tell you why
there is an A in his name... It’s a little weird... But we are also having
ANOTHER baptismal service in a couple of weeks for a lady who spells her name
Ardrine, but pronounces it Audrey?... Weird...
Another thing that happened this
week: Sitting in the flat late at night, playing darts and listening to The
Lower Lights, when all of a sudden the phone starts to ring, I walk over to see
who it is? Turns out it’s none other than PRESIDENT MSANE! I pick up the phone,
greet him, kinda just see what’s goin’ on ya know? After all that was done, he
said, "Elder Fraga, there are being some changes made in your
companionship." So, yeah Elder Ngabonziza is headed off to be a zone
leader in Kayole, and I am staying here in Zimmerman to be companions with a
guy named Elder Covarrubias! Seems like a cool guy! I don’t know why they put
me with the missionaries with the long names but... Anyways, he is from Arizona
and funny enough we used to message each other over Instagram before we came
out on our missions! He has had a pretty crazy mission so far... Apparently he
was arrested one time, and he was kissed by a drunk man twice... But I’m
excited to be companions with him!
But in other news that happened, I
got to listen to the Bee-Gees in a matatu this week and I saw a guy smoking a
cigarette backwards, or at least trying to, the other day. It was seriously so
funny. I just watched and watched and couldn't look away...
And now, again, I would like to reiterate
how amazing the book Jesus the Christ is. James E. Talmage is just awesome. If
you haven't read that book, PICK IT UP. Seriously, if you have time to read it,
you will not be disappointed. It has given me such a greater understanding on Christ
and such a deeper appreciation for what he has done for us. It’s amazing. He’s
amazing. And I know he loves and cares about each and everyone of us. Really,
read it.
I love you all and have a nice
week!
