We had one crazy busy week this week but very good, very successful. I got to see a miracle friday, as Carmen was baptised. Every baptism i´ve decided is nothing short of a miracle. To think that a month ago Carmen was just living her life when two young men in white shirts came up to her outside of the grocery store and told her they had a message that would change her life. The rest is history. She´s a great woman. Seriously mom she reminds me so much of you it´s crazy. Carmen is the mother of 3 boys and 1 7 yr old girl. The family isn´t really receptive yet but Carmen was prepared by the lord months before we found her. She´s really funny, has a quirky sense of humour and really is the glue that holds her family together. She was really nervous to get baptised and we had to postpone her baptism a week but as friday came closer she was more sure and more sure this is what god wanted for her in her life. We have been searching for new investigators to teach and are really encouraged with two others we´re teaching. Miguel and Miguel haha. Two different guys same name. I can´t believe the first transfer is getting close to being over. We have transfers the 24th. Kinda scary to think i could be getting a companion that doesn´t speak any english. My spanish is really really improved the past 2 weeks but i still struggle with a lot (can´t expect to be fluent in 5 weeks here). I can´t tell you how much i appreciate Pres Lindahl. We had our interview a bit back and he just randomly looked at me and said he felt a promting he needed to call dad, i was like... whhhhattt.. it was completely random but i trust him. He´s a very smart man. And i know he´s had an apostle lay hands on his head to give him his calling straight from god.
TOMBA won yesterday 3-1. Made for a nice day, everyone was real friendly :) We can´t watch the games but we know when they score, the streets go crazy and everyone runs outside just yelling haha. I love getting the sports updates, keep them coming! I was hoping you hadn´t sent packages yet cause i really really need some dr schols insoles. They don´t have insoles here its aweful my feet are in pretty bad shape i just limp around everywhere haha but it´s ok all in the work of the lord. I can definately make it till you can send some. Another great thing to have would be plastic baggies (ziplock) cause they don´t have them here and preserving food is difficult haha. Maybe some chapstick too. That for the future! If you can´t get it out for a while that is ok. I´m doing just fine! We have ANOTHER BAPTISM Saturday! (me and chesley are tearing it up) actually i take that back the lord is tearing it up! Just using us to do it, how blessed am i to get to see these miracles!? So scary to hear about PJ..... i was trippin! I´m glad he is ok. Sounds just like those guys to be doin what they were doin haha. I laughed when you told me about dad and his jalepenios. So dad... haha. Anyways i love you all very much and give you a charge to read your patriartrical blessings this week. Remember the scripture in John 15. We´re not his servants, he´s called us friends. And he´s laid down his life for his friends. You haven´t chosen him but he´s chosen you to carry his name. A lot of responsibility with that, but even more blessings. Walk in his light! Love you alll. Can i get Nancy´s email? Let her know he money helped me buy the new spanish bible the church just released. I´m forever greatful!
