HOLA FAMILIA!!
All is going Really good here. Its been a crazy week really busy and i mean just like a flying week. The biggest news was definately Ines` baptism! ah i was so excited for her. It was a long road to get here and was my comps first baptism and he got to baptise her. He did really well even though he tried to baptise her first with his left hand and then forgot to say amen.. but besides that It went awesome! We sang “come thou fount” in spanish and i played the guitar and that was way fun and the spirit was just so strong. It turned out really good…. i was so nervous though. Ines was soo happy though and she brought a friend, Pollito (means little chicken….), to the baptism and he is really interested too. He was very concerned though when an hermana was talking about baptism by fire that would happen on Sunday… haha. Something cool too is that Ines was able to have an interview with Presidente DaSilva also. It was great for her to meet him and it just happened that her interview was the same day we had conference and interviews with Pres.
It went really good and i just love it when Presidente DaSilva talks to us. He had us study 1 Nephi 3,4,17, and 18 and thats what we did. Well he ended not even talking about them but i just happened in my studies to find from 1 Nephi 4 a cool thing in 1 Samuel 15 and i loved it when i studied it! i had never seen it before…. well then of course Pres talked about that chapter. Was cool cuz i had just studied it and its a really cool chapter about Obeying and not changing stuff to fit ourselves or to be convenient. Kinda dropped cane on us but it was good. I recommend reading it cuz i really loved it alot.
Pres also talked alot about committing people to baptism at anytime. It really hit me and Elder Fry that part and had a really good experience with it. The next day…. Saturday… we found a guy, Rogelio in the morning and well it was just an amazing charla. Its amazing how strong the spirit is in the first charla and i think its always the strongest… i dont know if thats a good thing or bad thing but really the first vision just gets to me and you can see it get to other people. Rogelio just was amazing and to end it off we committed him to baptism…. he said hell have to know first for sure if its true but excepted. That happens a bit with people just saying yes… but it was different with him. It was his first time even praying or anything and he just felt different and wants to be baptized.
It really opened my eyes. sometimes things are just routine but these last days after the conference its just been amazing the spirit leading us to certain people and just really doing the work. I dont know what it really was but weve been very blessed these last 2 or 3 days.
Well its been an intense weekend like i said and its really strengthened me alot spiritually. We also did like 6 hours of straight cutting grass on thursday and now im burnt and man was it tiring cuz all we used is a weed wacker to cut huge lawns of like 2 feet of grass…. was fun and really was a good feeling after.
Friday night with one of the people we cut the lawn for, we had a noche de hogar and really just played a little with her kids that are rascals but all like 8-13 yrs old and all have had a hard time with their dad leavin them and stuff. So we had a noche de hogar and it was just playin then we had a time to just say what we were thankful for. It was seriously so amazing that night… the kids were really just having a good time and well are very difficult well just say but had a good time. they all said what they were thankful for and then something really got to me. Andres, the oldest boy thats like 10 yrs old, got really quiet when it got to him and just said he was so thankful for the night we had… for being happy like a family once again. It really got to me and wow just hit me of how blessed i was to be in our family and just wanna say thanks mom and dad for giving us such a great family. i can now see how hard it is after bein with these kids and im sure i was probly 10x worse but thanks! 
So mom yes i did get the shirt and its funny you ask that cuz im wearing it right now it just happens i dont have it on in photos. i did get Vics testimony, thanks for that it was really cool. Yes i got my camara still and as you can see i hope its still working and taking photos…. ummm and about trevor writing i cant really recieve letters from him on email but he can always send normal letters or to that gmail thing to the offices. my letters still take forever for him. I think i got everything.
Well i didnt forget… alright i did a little but Feliz Cumpleaños KT! and have a good fun day of pregnancy…. this photo is for you with Randomness and my comp grabbed that folder and says Jesus is saying Feliz Cumpleaños to you too… its true… he probly is…. but love ya and LOVE ALL OF YOU!
