Mission Week 42, Yopal Week 7, "My Son (Elder Ramos) is a Great Missionary."

My new chino came today! His name is Elder Ramos. He turned out not to be gringo. HE´S FROM BRAZIL. He's a really cool dude. The guy is 23 years old (My son lol). He was baptized into the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints three years ago. The man is pure Portuguese. Elder Ramos is learning Spanish right now, but since it's so similar he's getting it down really fast. It feels strange helping a Brazilian learn Spanish haha. He's taught me a few phrases in Portuguese too!

1. eu so de California! (I am from California) and
2. Muito obrigado (Thank you very much!) and
3. Estoy aprendiendo como falar portuguese (I'm learning how to speak Portuguese)

He loves to sing hymns in Portuguese in the house too haha. You better believe that I'm going to learn a lot of hymns in Portuguese.

One of our baptismal dates fell through because Carlos Aranda is on vacations with his 13 year old son and won't be coming back until next week. So we will have to move his baptismal date up.
We were able to confirm and set up a baptismal date for Felipe this week on Saturday! He is one of our investigators that we've been teaching for a while. Felipe is 14 years old with a burning testimony. He wants to be a missionary one day!

"My son" (Elder Ramos) is a great missionary. He has the desire to share the gospel with everyone that we pass by in the streets! I'm having a blast out here with my Chino!

Love you all!
Elder Horton
