Well it sounds like the deer hunt up black canyon wasn´t way successful for deer but it sounds like it was a good ride and it is always a good time up there. Also I saw the pictures of mom on the walker... thats a little scary. HA, I hope those lines are still staying straight. It is crazy that is it is starting become fall and cool down there. It is weird I don´t know how the people tell time here because it is the same temperature and the same weather everyday all year round. Besides hurricane season i guess. But that is good that all is going well and that halloween has been good. Halloween is not that big of a deal down here. The only thing I have seen of halloween was last night, This big lady had a witch hat and a broomstick between her legs and she was chuckling and stumbling down the street, really drunk, it was pretty funny. But basically the only holiday that they are worried about is Christmas. Its funny people started putting up christmas lights like 3 weeks ago, and this week in church we started singing christmas hymns, so now we will probably be singing christmas hymns for two months so that will be a good time! Also this week was super cool we have been teaching this lady that is about 55 and she has really been struggling with smoking. We have been telling her to keep praying for God´s help to quit and she just hasn´t had a lot of faith that she could overcome it. So the other day we asked her if she would fast for help and if she wanted a blessing, and she said yes. So she started her fast and then we went home and started our fast and we went back the next day after both of us had fasted and we gave her a blessing, and the spirit was felt very strongly, my comp blessed her to have the power to overcome this addiction. we have been visiting her almost everyday since the blessing and everytime we ask her how she is doing she says estoy luchando, I am fighting. But now she has gone 5 days without smoking and she says that she is done for good and she is getting baptized this saturday. So it was so cool to see how the Lord will work miracles if we have the faith necessary, he can do all things. It also strengthened my testimony of fasting, prayer, and the priesthood power. They are real and when we use them we can overcome the difficulties in our lives just like Carmela overcame smoking. So we are really excited for her baptism this next week. Also this week, there was a baptism in our district of this man that has been investigating the church for almost 20 years! He has one of the strongest testimonies I have heard and is going to be such a strong member of the church. Well The DR is still here and rocking (literally, lots of music, everywhere). Anyways I love you all and everything is going great down here.
Love Elder Wadman
