3/12

Hello family!

How are we! I am doing good, for the most part, we had some good thigns happen this week and some bad stuff. i will get to that later though, first to reply to your letter.

Ok to explain transfers, if I do get changed, nothing will change on your end. My address will be the same throughout the entire mission, that address is for the mission offices and they dispurse the letters to were the missionary is, so no my address will never change. I will, however just have a new companion and area. Changes are this next Sunday so I will let you know if and where I get changed next week!

The Primary kids didnt go to our investigaotrs, they went to members houses with us. But yeah it still gavfe them a good experience.

This grilled cheese iron sandwhich idea sounds like you have experience with it? hahahaha no we have a stove again so no worries.!

Yeah we had better luck with finding people this week, just still having a hard time keeping them and setting baptizmal dates. We had to drop one lady, Silvia because her husband didnt want her to and we cant cause family problems so we left our number, incase he changes his mind. She was so excited about it but the husband wont let her.

The backpack idea sounds really good, we have done a similar thing with books in seminary were they pile books on your arms and you have to hold it up, but then the teacher would come and help, representing the Savior with our burdens, so cool!

Cool thing happened this week. Remeber that big family of 12, and how the mom is the alst one we havent baptized. All of her children and family is baptized but she didnt want to for some unknown reason. We finally sat her down and gave her the "we will drop you if we cant continue" talk. She said she would tell us her doubt but at church because she doesnt want her family to known. Turns out she has several ex-boyfriends and spouses that she wants to tie off before she gets baptized that way she can start her new life without anything to bring her back to the past. So we are thinking we are going to baptize her either wednesday or saturday, we are so excited for this and she is too. I am so glad we finally got her doubt out!

We also got a free baptizm this week. Turns out a members record was lost and so we got to baptize her again, it was cool and it kindof reminded us of what our goal is, giving us more desire to work.

Another wierd thing is this week we have had so many people stop us in the streets saying "we want your help" Its been so cool how many times we got stopped instead of us having to do it.

I hit my 6 month mark this wednesday the 14th, so crazy to think I am already 1/4th of the way done with my mission, and I heard the time continues to pick up, especially after you figure everything out and get the lanugage down. So exciting!

Well, I think that is it for this week!
