Sounds like you had a pretty nice little trip to Arizona, i´m very jealous! Scott and Mels new house sounds really nice! I`m still thinking about the dentistry route when I get home. I think I`ve developed the study skills here in the mission to not fail classes anymore :) I should have never gone to school before the mission I`ve decided. We´ve had a pretty productive week this week. I don´t kow if i told you or not but me and Mendoza were real tired one night very far away from the pench when we decided we´d go knock one more door. There were like 3 wild dogs guarding it but for some reason we pressed on and knocked the door. We were let in and started teaching a great family of 7! It was a little weird teaching that many people at one time! Anyways that was about 3 weeks ago and Saturday all five of the Tobares children are going to be baptised! Benjamin-16, Ivan-15, Sebastian-13, Bryan-11, and Fernando-10. They are the sweetest kids and havejust amazed me with their desire to learn about God, and Christ, and the Church. Their so much better inteligent kids than I was when i was their age. I couldn´t have gave half a crap and these kids are just amazing. I love them so much and I´m so excited for Saturday. Elder Williams is pretty excited too, it´s going to be his first baptism. the parents have some issues they have to work out and hopefully sometime soon they can be baptised. We have put to use our cowboy hats this week and have saved our faces from the sunburn. We get whistled at quite a bit from the girls down here, they dig em´:) hehe. I´ll send you some pictures of them we took a few this week as we were walking out in the country on the way to an appointment. I just have to tell you mom how really led this missionary work is. We´ve had two experiences this week where we´ve walked and walked and walked seemlessley for hours in the sun and end up feeling an urge from the spirit to knock on a door. We´ve followed our promptings both times and have had the door opened with people who have fallen away from the church, who needed nothing more than a visit from the missionaries to get them back. Twice this week. It´s amazing sometimes. Anyways E´Williams is still fightin the nasty blistered feet but I´m trying to do somethings to keep him happy. We had a big long 10-12 mile long day yesterday and i took him out for ice cream, we sat in the big town plaza and had a good time for 20 minutes. It was well deserved, anyways I hope all is well at home. Thankyou for emailing me and making me feel loved. Your in my prayers every night. Peace and Love Boats Baby.
