Dear Family and Friends,

Well, this week sounds like it was a good one for all of you. Getting all
the yards ready and then having a snow storm on may 27th will always make
you smile right? Also, it sounds like the obrays had quite the week with
jack as the big bad wolf and brady graduating from preschool, i bet that
was fun. And congrats to meg and tyler on the big number 7 sounds like mom
had a fun time with the grandkids this week, so that is good. Anyways, for
me this week was really good. We are still just in the middle of the
summer, getting our sweat on! so that is always a good time. It keeps
getting a little hotter and hotter, right when i get done with my
bucket shower i start sweating again, so its a good time! haha other
than that the DR is just the DR. We have been teaching magi and she is
reading everything that we leave her but she still feels like she
hasn´t recieved an answer about the church and the book of mormon and
everything. We tell her to keep reading and keep praying and she will
recieve her answer. And I know she will get it. Also, we havent been
able to find yessena this week because it was mothers day weekend this
week down here and she has been out to her little town that she is
from visiting her mom but she is still reading and progressing too. I
am still here with elder garcia and the spanish is definately
improving right now because i am speaking it 24/7. Transfer calls are
on sunday and i have been in this area for almost 5 months, so i could
be leaving here pretty easy next week but we will see what the Lord
wants me to do. Also, the other elders in my house had a baptism this
week and they baptized this 55 year old guy. He has been going to
church for almost 4 months straight without missing a week or a single
activity of the church, he is just a really good guy a little on the
slower side but a good guy. well when he went into the water for his
baptism he went in first and the bishop was following him. Right when
he got in the water he started bending his knees and was about to dunk
himself and the bishop said victor wait not yet. and i just started
laughing, then the bishop was explaining how he needs to plug his
nose, and victor starting plugging his nose before bishop said the
ordinance and bishop was trying to pull his hand off his nose but he
had a vice grip on there, in the end he took his vice grip off and got
baptized, it was pretty funny but it all worked out! Other than that
everything is going really good here, i hope everything is going good
for you all back home, I love you all and have a good week!
