hey folks.
No one said anything about the elections, but I heard
that Obama won. Bummer. But.... Alex and Valeria got baptized this
Saturday with Danilo. this week was the trial of our faith. Seriously.
Alex told us he wasn´t getting baptized like 7 times during the week.
But when he was all dressed in white and hugging Valeria (all in white
too) my heart kind of melted. They are such a beautiful family. A lot
of members helped us to go visit them . The elders and a member from
Texas who served here went with us. Danilo was really happy too. After
the baptism a recent convert, Javier, walked Danilo home. It was so
sweet. The bishop went to pick him up for his baptism. Everything´s so
much better when the members love the investigators. Alex and Valeria
came with Alex´s mom. She went to church with us on Sunday. There were
so many miracles and so many angels this week that I can´t count them
all. But it´s because God loves his children and wants them to get
baptized. also, we had a lot of faith, even when Alex told us a billion
times that he wasn´t going to get baptized. We prayed so much for
them. Prayer is powerful.
Um... this Wednesday is transfers. We have no idea of what´s
going to happen. I think I´m staying here because I´ve only been here
three weeks, but who knows. Since we´re in a threesome, and we don´t
know how many hermanas are coming we don´t know if we´re going to stay
together or not. But I´ve enjoyed being in a threesome. It´s kind of
weird, but great. The Bishop here is fantastic. He is really smart,
and has a lot of faith. Hna Real always says that we´re the bishop´s
consejeras. haha. Basically. he trusts us a lot. maybe too much...
but he´s wonderful and VERY supportive. And VERY RELIABLE.
We are teaching a kid named Henry. Hopefully he gets baptized
this Saturday or the next. He´s really with it. He loves church, he
finally agreed to read the BoM. He loves the missionaries. But he says
that every time he asks God if the BoM is true he gets a bad feeling.
So we´ve talked about that a lot. We´re going to have an FHE with his
family tonight. Pray for him! Yesterday the RM that teaches Gospel
Doctrine was surprised to hear that Henry isn´t baptized. He was just
called to be the YM president. And he was like, I want to baptize him!
Let me baptize him! It was cool. Most of Henry´s family is members.
Um... it´s super hot here. I sleep in shorts and a t-shirt. No
covers. not even a sheet. And the fan hits me (I put it about 1 foot
away from my face) and one night this week I woke up because I was so
hot. So, enjoy the cold! (I guess I should enjoy the heat!) :)
Dad, thanks for the update. Sounds like the church is moving
on. Do you think that they are going to open new missions? When do they
call new mission presidents?
Mom, thanks for the
update. I hope everything is going good in Gillette. How was it to
have a missionary in the house all the time?
Kevin, hope you´re doing well and that you´re getting everything finished for school.
Cher, thanks for the note. I miss you and love you too!
Kyle, thanks for the note. Have fun in Panama. I forgot what the word for cool is there. But I hope it´s great!

Dani, thanks for the note and the pictures (Thanks for thinking of me, Scotty :))
Pablito, hope you´re doing well. How is your Spanish going? Do you practice with Kyle sometimes?
