An Ocean Baptism & A Generous Heart

Bridger has always wanted to have a baptism in the ocean and this week it would have happened for him.  However, his generous heart gave the opportunity to his "kid" or companion.  We also were able to chat back and forth with him quite a bit and he is getting nervous about returning home and school.  I hope he can forget about that and understand that he has done is part and Heavenly Father will do his when he returns.  He is so happy as you will see in the pictures he sent this week. So enjoy...

What up family how are you guys well let me tell you a little bit about what went down this week in Trujillo


Well Monday all the elders form colon were here there was 12 of us sleeping in our tiny tiny house hahah it was a real joke and no one slept good but it was a fun night I hope you got some of those pics the lobster here is SO BOMB!!!! Haha anyways being here next to the beach we eat a ton of fish but I'm talking a ton I think this week I ate fish 6 times haha but I do love it freak fish from the ocean is so good also shrimp this week we can definitely say it was a better week for food so that's good thank goodness.

So this week also we had a baptism it is this Garifuna kid named Angelo it was sweet and honestly I wanted to baptize sooooo bad but my kid elder Mauricio had never baptized so after the interview I just asked him if he was ready to go swimming in the ocean Saturday haha and he just had a big smile on his face he was stoked to do the baptism in the ocean it being his first one haha it was a way cool moment. He did a good job so now we have a new goal that I can go swimming too haha so I hope it can happen. I will send some pics home of the baptism because si hombre it was tight.

So well really that was our big week it was just a regular week but fun like it always is the members here are tight like 65% are black so that makes it even better haha they're tight though like its so chill here I feel like if I was in Jamaica but it makes for a fun time here.

Also I want to thank chelsy draney for the Christmas package it was AWESOME!!!! I'm definitely gonna have to thank her personally for that because it really was a spirit booster the what she did was an advent calendar and everyday to open the bag was 2 pieces of candy and 2 quotes quotes from apostles or movies until there was an actor Steve Martin and yeah anyways every quote had a positive message and a way we can look at life better it was honestly a great package so please tell her THANK YOU!!! From elder Clayton  by the way how's Zach Jensen doing home right or have you talked to Aaron Markasich well anyways that was my week thanks for everything I love you guys so much you're the best.

Love Elder Bridger Clayton
