Dear family and friends

 

Well, to start of  I have to say congrats to Brad and Teri and the new Russell Wadman, thanks for sending the pictures, he looks like he is going to be an athlete haha and for reals congratulationsthats great news. So it sounds like you guys have had a great week this week with Russell´s birth and with the snow and everything, sounds like its all going good back home. Well, over here life is going great, Ana got baptized on Saturday and her son came over from the east mission to baptized her. It truly was an awesome baptism, the place was packed with people supporting her. I will send pictures, also we were talking to here before her baptism and we shared with her the baptismal covenant and we asked her if she was willing to make and keep the baptismal covenant and she told us that she would. We explained that she would be taking upon herself the name of Christ and she would be making the covenant to obey his commandments until the end of her life, and she told us something really cool. She told us that when we come back in 20 years and visit her that we will see that she is still firm in the gospel and that her greatest goal is to make it back to her Heavenly Fathers presence with her family and that she is ready to work for that goal for the rest of her life. Really she is a great example to me of faith, because even though she doesn't know everything about the gospel yet, she has felt the spirit and she knows that these things are true and she is willing to put her whole heart into it. We passed by yesterday after and we passed through the commandments again and we told her to never worry about what other people do or say only to worry about the covenant that she has made with the Lord and to complete with it. And then she said that the spirit has touched her heart and that she wont ever go against that. So everything is going really well with her and with our other investigators too. Also, today our zone went to the botanical gardens in Santo Domingo with president and his wife. They did a special activity with us, but it really turned out pretty cool and I am sure that mom would of loved it. I took a lot of pictures and I will send them back home too, but I am going to send pictures next week because the Internet center is having problems and we had to walk to a different Internet center to finish. So next week I will send the pictures.

Anyways I hope that everything is going good for you all back home, I love you all and hope that you have a good week this week.
