Hey guys!!

This week went by so fast!  So many things happened, but yeah, as usual at this moment I can't remember them. But  all is going well.  We still don't have a house in the sector that we are working in, so we are still traveling 4 times a day cause of lunch and studies haha.  So it's a total of 2 hours of travel every day, and about 4 dollars every day.  I try to study on the bus, but I usually end up starring at the rice fields and trees and stuff, or sleeping.

So, we have another baptismal date.  Now we have 3.  The couple that needs to get married and now a 10 year old.  She's super cool and super smart.  Her mom really wants to get baptized too, but she and her husband aren't married and he doesn't really want to get married.  But, the lesson yesterday was really spiritual.  We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We invited them to be baptized but the thing is that we needed the permission from the parents but mainly the dad.  He didn't want her to be baptized because of her age and stuff.   The whole time I was just like please Father help me with what I need to say to help him understand.  It was about a 20 min discussion with him, and my comp didn't really say much, so that sucked cause I had to do all the talking and I don't know Spanish haha dang it.  But, he softened his heart and signed the paper that we needed him to sign.  He said she can prepare for the 10th of February but if she is not ready or anything like that, then he won't let her or something like that.  It was a really stressful conversation, but I could really feel the Lord testify and I could really feel the Spirit when I was explaining to him our purpose as missionaries and how important she is to us and why we are here.  It was cool.

Anyway, we have had tons of activities and now I have a ton of pictures, but I'm not going to send all of them. Anyway,  all is going well and I'm loving it. The Spanish is coming along pretty well I guess.

Love you guys!  Chao.
