Baptisms, Black Mesa, Flea Market, and Transfers

Ya'at'teh' Everyone!

So this week was definitely a memorable one.  To start off we had 3 baptisms this past Saturday, for 3 girls. Their names are Ashanti, Audrey, and Evette.  It was really good, because we have been working with them for a long time, and they finally made the steps and commitments to do this.

Here is a picture of everyone...

​From left to right...  Bishop Black, Ashanti, Audrey, Evette, Elder Hudak, Marquez, and myself.

The little girl in the front, her name is Ellie, and she is one of the cutest little girls ever. Every time we go over she starts screaming, "Elders! The Elders are here!"  She is hilarious, along with all of the girls. They are all really funny and I love them!

So that happened, and that was really great.  Umm so Black Mesa...  Last P-Day we went to Kayenta to hike Black Mesa.  It was a long hot hike, that we needed a guide for.  It took us 5 hours to do it, and it was ridiculously steep as well as hot.  That took up all P-Day.  And on Friday we went to the Flea Market. It was Elder Krauss' last time to go to one while being a missionary and it was really good. I made a couple of purchases, and it was pretty neat, I got a Michael Jordan Jersey for $50 and then I got some Texas Hold "Em ( it is a lemonade-type drink, and it is bomb!) and we actually did some service as well, helping one of our member families take down their food stand.  So that was fun. The Flea Market is full of neat things that you can get for pretty cheap.

And Transfers... Elder Hudak is leaving me and going to Page, Arizona, and I am getting a new companion, Elder Huff.  Things are going to be weird without Elder Hudak and Elder Krauss, but Elder Szendre and I will manage.

That is about all I have for now.  No, I didn't finish the Scorpion, but I will hopefully get around to it this week.  Today we are going to do some roping, and then we are going to play some baseball with Marquez hopefully, so we are going to be busy with Elder Hudak's last P-Day in Tuba City.

Love you all,

Elder Takis⚾

This is Elder Lindsay and me. He is from Brigham City, and went to Box Elder.
We have worked out our differences, and now we are best buds.
This was on the Black Mesa hike. 

And here is Black Mesa​, it's the one in the back.

And here is the view from the top...

Here is the Texas Hold 'Em... it's actually called a Texas Twister​...

And here is me taking a selfie in my Jordan Jersey.
Don't judge, it is one of my first selfies, and I'm not good at it.
