The vikes are going to win it all and i´m not going to be home. I´ll cry.... not kidding. At all!
Familia!!!!
Thats the preface to my letter today haha. Hope you enjoyed it! I´m overjoyed to hear the vikes killed the cowgirls. Romo´s a homo and the vikes are the bomb diggity. We´ve had a good week here in Alvear. We baptized two on Saturday. It was a great experience, and I will never forget these two boys we found prepared by the lord. Little Rogrego is only 9 and Marcelo is 15. They are great kids, they came to church and loved it, they´ve made tons of friends in the church! The first time I saw Marcelo I could see the light in his eyes. My hope and dream is that he can go on a mission some day and work his way out of what is a pretty dire situation at home. They live out in the country in a very humble little shanty, but these kids just are so greatful for everything they have. There is a kid in our ward named Elias whose been a member for quite some time. He´s 19 and the young mens president in our little rama. He told us before he´s going to go on a mission in a year or two but wants to wait. Anyways Marcelo asked him if he´d baptise him, they´ve become the greatest of little friends. Elias agreed, and the ordinance was beautiful. What was even better about the whole baptism is afterward Elias came to me and Mendoza with tears streaming down his face, and told us he´s never felt the spirit like he did in that moment. He told us he doesn´t want to wait another minute to put his papers in, and that he was going to start this week. The lord truely puts things into place for a reason, it´s unbelievable. It was so awesome to see Elias´s face, and to hear him fight through tears to mutter those few sentances to us. He´s a great kid, going to be a great missionary!
Anyways to some questions you had asked! Our pench is kinda odd, we live in an apartment type deal. It´s one floor down stairs with the kitchen and bathroom, then above our heads are big logs that make a loft type of a deal for the upper level to sleep. Problem being that..... we have 4 missionaries and 2 beds haha. So the two other elders sleep upstairs on the beds and we pull out matresses and put them on the floor downstairs to sleep (it´s way to hot in that loft with 4 bodies!). When we wake up we put the matresses under the stairs to the loft and we´re all good! Kinda interesting! But we do have some nice vines outside the apartment and the grapes are delicious right now. Elder Hogland from Lindon has only been out 6 weeks more than me. Elder Mendoza has been out a year. And Elder Ramirez from Columbia has been here for about 10 and a half monthes!! Our area is giantic, it used to be 1 of 2 areas with bikes in the mission but an elder had an accident about a year back so they took them out. We walk quite a lotttt. And we have to plan really well where our appointments are which days so that we can work on one side of the area one day, and the other day the other side. Makes us have to be a bit more organized which is good. We´re working with a few people we found this week and hope that they can progress and realize the truth of the gospel. I´ve seen all over the news about this catastrophy in Haiti... so terrible. I feel so bad for those people i just want to cry. Keep praying for them. Think we´re getting some signs here from our father in heaven?? I do. Anyways I love you all very very much, I had a great scripture i was going to share today and i definately forgot it.... So be ready for that next week haha sorry! Here we go with trying pictures again! We´ll see what happens!!!
