Hey Guys,

Well this week went really well. ¡We had a baptism! Ah it was so good!! Almost the whole branch was in attendance which really isn´t that many people but it turned out really well. Olga is happy. My district had 3 baptisms which is really good. I went to Cardona to do an interview up there. It was with a 15 year old girl probably one of the funnier interviews I have done. When we started she explained she was really nervous. so nervous she wrote all the ¨answers¨ on her hand. Then felt bad so tried to wash it off but it didn´t come off all  the way. But she got nervous again so she brought a cheat sheet in her pocket. She did fine and they had a great baptism up there in Cardona. Elder Robbs last, as he goes home in 2 days. It is weird to see someone I met in the CCM go home. I guess I'm next... Juan Lacaze also had a baptism. I dont´ know if you remember the women that couldn't pay tithing. She was baptized. After she said she didn´t want anymore with the church. She showed up a few Sundays ago and said I changed my mind I want to get baptized. The other district leader interviewed her. I'm glad! 

This week a family we found a few weeks ago started to show more interest so we really have to take care of them. It is a father a mother and their 2 daughters. They haven´t come to church yet and it might be a challenge due to work but they are a really good family. We also had a really good lesson with another family we found this one of 7. They told us the missionaries have been teaching them for almost 18 years on and off and they have never gone to church. They are really good, we will see if we can find there doubts. 

It is changes as I am sure you now realize. It is my last... Que lo tiró. My comp and I are staying together for Another Change. I´m excited for this change, I will admit I was a little nervous Elder Arriola really tests my patience sometimes(alright a lot of times) and I was looking for a change. But while I was praying last night I got a strong feeling there is something yet I have to learn with him and someone is waiting for us. We will see what happens. It is kind of weird because he has been here for 4 1/2 months and I have been here for 3. I go home and he will stay meaning he will be here for 7 1/2 months which is a lot more then normal especially Colonia. But it was like this in the whole mission. Just some really strange changes. New President. But that's when you just have to trust that it comes from God. As for my return date...? Jaja no se todavía. President told me today to call him this week so we will see. Haha Sorry mom it looks like I might never come home.  Well that's about it. Oh and I am DL again. My District the Sisters and the Zone leaders. It is going to be really weird. Anyway

Love You!
