June 12, 2017 - Veach and Elder Mann End Their Time Together Baptizing AGAIN!

Hey Y'all,

So we had transfers today.  I got moved to a different stake in Bogota and I'm now in an area called Bosa.  My companion is Elder Gambini.  He is from Argentina.  But the best part of the week was that we had another baptism to close out the transfer!  His name is Emmanuel and he is 16.   His cousin baptized him!  I was super pumped.  We got blessed big time because we worked our butt  off!  I'm so happy we had so much success here.  I'm going to have to go back there at the end of the mission!  Not a lot of time this week.  Here are the pics!  Love yall!

May 29, 2017 - Elder Veach and Elder Mann Baptize Again!

Sup Yall!

So this was another pretty slow week.  We only had one lesson and zero new investigators.  But Thursday, Friday and Saturday were awesome!  Thursday night we had the baptismal interviews for Chrisbel and her 12 year old son Esteven and they both passed!  Then on Friday I had exchanges with Elder Rivero, a new missionary who is a stud and we had so much fun that day, and Chrisbel(Investigator) and her boyfriend Leonardo(Kinda Active Member) got married!  Then on Saturday we had the baptism of Chrisbel and her son Esteven!  Elder Mann baptized Chrisbel and I baptized Esteven.  FYI  Esteven is really tiny so when everyone saw us in the font it was hilarious!  Then yesterday was the confirmation which also went great!  Then today I got to go to the temple for the first time since mid December which was nice.  And that was our whole week basically.  Nothing else really happened.  So here are the photos of the baptism and the exchanges!  Les quiero mucho!

May 22, 2017-transcibe this

Hey y'all, (this is a place holder)

So this is the first time I've really done this so I don't know how well this is going to work. So we'll see. I figured I'd just kind of talk about something every week. This week I thought I would talk about the baptism that we had two weeks ago with Angel. Sorry my voice sounds kind of weird I'm getting sick. So on Saturday, not this Saturday, but last Saturday in the morning we were doing our studies and we get a call from the missionaries that are in the other chapel that is in our stake because the chapel that we have doesn't have a baptismal font so every time we have a baptism we have to go over to the stake center about 20 minutes walking from here and we were talking to them and they had had a baptism for this lady with cancer and she should have died a week before her baptism and they were trying to set up her baptism before Angel so we were trying to do a baptismal service together with them and so they tried to we had kind of worked out a plan with our ward mission leader for how the baptism was going to go and then we had to call him and see if we could change up some stuff and he told us oh yah elders I can't be there so we were kind of freaking out. We had to do the program basically by ourselves. We were going to try to be over to the church at 2 or 3 but our lunch with the members that day was this family that lives 45 minutes walking from our house in the opposite direction from the stake center. So we walked up there got lunch and ran back got our suits on and ran over to the stake center and we were helping clean up
