Hola Familia! Como Andan? Todo bien? hows the health? Work? School? Mit Ramney and the elections? colege football?NBA?Hows everything out in the states? I hope you guys are enjoying it,  livling in another country has been so eye opening to how good we really have it back in the state, some stuff is just crazy down here, like the litle things espesially that we dont even have to think and worry about in the states. ha ha But im lovin doen here, its a whole new life and its been an awesome adventure.

This week has been pretty crazy not gonna lie, me and my companion have been working really hard and have seriously been through it all this week. Its been raining a ton and theres been lots of floods so its been interesting.like just one more thing to work around ha ha

Me and my companion are doing good though, working really good together and havnt really had any problems. Elder Garrido, dude is awesome, such a stud and seriously we have so much in Comon. We get along really well together and our styles of teaching really bring a good mix in our lessons. Were learning more and more each day thoguh, from the area , eachother and really in every way. Wev inly been together like 3 weeks but iv learned so much form him. HEs really helped me to fine tune my teaching and to really focus and improve the small things to take it all to the next level. Hes been a great help with my spanish so im greatful for that as well. And on top of it all , he loves to cook, were just eatin tacos and quesadilas like its nothin doen here, Jsut livin the dream! ha ah

Baptism Season:

Things are going good with the new season, the waters are warm, the people are happy and wev all just been havin a great time. ha ha.... Services 2 weekends in a row and this weekend were going for 3! We have it all lined up for the 4th and 5th too so were hopiong it all works out as planned and we can keep the season going for a while longer. This past weekend was awesome though, like way legit. Our second service together and this one ran alot smoother than last. Were learnig every time and imprtoving the little things to allow the spirit to be there that much stronger for all.Baptism are always good but it is seriously the little thiungs that just take it to the next level. It was really good thouhg. Santiago ( the son of Sandra- Recent convert of ours from a couple months ago) has been preparing for a while and wev had been working with him alot to get him ready to take this step. After all the lessons and countless hours witht he family he was able to get baptised this past weekend and it was seriously amazing. Like for all of us. To see hiom progress and change all the way up to and espesially after the baptism but seriously in every way. Such a priveleage to work with that kid, I love him to death. His mom was extatic too, like after the conformation like i cant even tell you how strong the spirit was, LIke everyone was all so happy and it was seriously perfect. She was so proud of him and with the other non members in the family there to support it was really good for them as well . :) awesome weekend.This upcoming wekeend, Romina the investigator that said she wants to get baptised from the pulpit is all set up fpr next weekend so were really excited for it :) should be another good one.

Other than that nothin really too crrazy out here. Learning more and more every day, espesially with my spanish. Theres alot i dont know still, ill be the first to tell you that, but im doing good. I can carry on conversations fluently and understand close to everything people are saying. Ha ha It is crazy like how adicxting it is to learn a language. Like its so hard but like i just have such a drive to learn as much as a can. If i dont theres literally no way to comunit¡cate with everyone down here ha ha thats what really drives me, to constantly improve my pronuncaiation comprehension and vocabulary. Im confident though with my spanish and am really happy where its at. Let me tell you, the gift of touges is real, thats a fact. Without the help from our heavelnly father I would be straight up lost and confused out here. So greatful for his help thoguh.

Doing good though, staying strong and working hard. Trying to make you guys all proud out here. I hope you guys know how much you mean to me, how truely greatful I am for each one of you guys individually and really how much I love you guys. You guys are constantly in my thoguhts and in every prayer. We may be in the other side of the world form eachother but seriously you guys are always with me, always.

Hope all is well and that yiou guys are all enjoying life, whatever your going throuh and wherever you are. I hope you guys are all makin good choises and havin fun... Oh question, Whens thnksgiving, no one knows down here ha ha?.... And what are the plans for the fam for it?

Keep on keepin on and have an awesome week :)

Aloha,
