Well it sounds like you all had a good week this past week and that you are all doing good. Happy birthday to Eric, I hope you had a good one! And happy birthday to heather tomorrow, I hope that youve got something fun planned to do. Well I am here in San Cristobal, in Canastica, my companion is elder Mendez and he is from the DR and I live with a columbian and a honduran, so its all spanish again in my house and its going good. Me and Elder Mendez have got some cool investigadors, first off we are teaching this guy named Jorge and he is the husband of a less active lady. The bishop told my comp and his old comp to go and teach the less active familiy, they invited Jorge to share and he has been sharing and going to church for a couple weeks now. When my comp explained his situation I asked him if he has got a baptismal date and my comp said no and that he needs to get legally married to the his wife. So on Thursday we went to his house and we put a date for his baptism for the 27th of July, my last saturday of the mission and he accepted the date and told us that he has already bought rings for him and her, and he expressed to us his desire to get baptized and basically he is just golden, and another preciouse soul coming unto Christ, I am excited to be able to be here and help him. We are teaching another couple named Alexander and Virginia and they are so awesome, they have been going to church for almost 4 months straight now and the are reading like crazy in the Book of Mormon and in Doctrine and Covenants, they just got to get married legally to be able to get baptized, and he has some problem with his birth certificate, so we are putting some goals with him to do what he needs to do with his birth certificate so that they can get married and get baptized also. So there is quite a lot of work that we need to do here, and a lot of awesome people that we can help come unto Chirst. Watching the capacitation for leaders and missionaries last night got me super pumped to be able to be here full time in the most important work that can be done in this world, and that is preaching the true and restored gospel to all the world, what a maravalous work we have and what a great time it is to preach the restoration of the gospel. I love this time that I have, miss my old area, but already feel sad to not be able to be in this area very long, the ward here is great. Lots of willing brothers and sisters to help the work go forth, the Lord truly is hastening His Work. I love you all and hope that all is going well for you guys back home and that you have a great week!
