This week was awesome! We´ve been soo buisy there isnt time to take a break! We had to organize a wedding and 2 baptisms! On friday we had the wedding, everything went well! The people who got married have a parrot that gets sad if he´s alone so we just played with this parrot for an hour while they decorated! haha super sweet! Then they got married and we baptized the husband cause the wife is already a member! Great baptism and wedding combo! I´d say over 100 people showed up! Then to celebrate we ate at this burger place called Del Puente that´s SUPER GOOD!!! Then on saturday we had the baptism of C H, Which is funny cause our Elders Quorem president is named C H aswell! that went well, he had nerve problems and got super nervous in the water!! He said he thought he was going to drown! So the actual ordinance was awkward cause he didnt want to go under but the guy baptizeing did a good job pushing him allllll the way down!

I took pictures but Elder G stoll my converter to send pics like 6 weeks ago so I´ll have to find another one!!! So you guys wont recieve anything

I didnt eat breakfast today and we just played 2 hours of soccer so IM DEAD!!!! But we played gringos vs latinos annnnnnnnd GRINGOS WON!!!!! MERICA!!!!!

This sunday we had a sweet lesson! We have this old mexican lady Hna. Toledo that was a missionary like 50 years ago and just LOVES the missionaries! She´s super awesome and always is super nice to us. So she came up to us and told us that she had some references for us, we went to her house at 3 for the appointment. The investigators didnt show up and so at 4 Hna T went to go get them. We were thinking that maybe they werent really interested and that´s why they didnt show up. But they walk in (a mom and ehr 2 daughters) and they start asking a bunch of questions about Joseph Smith. So we explained the Restoration of the Church and then we talked about the book of mormon. We told them to pray and ask to receive an answer to know if the book of mormon is true and if Joseph Smith was a prophet. Then she just looked at us and told us that she already has a testimony of the church, and that she´s had it for years! hahahahahaha it was the best lesson ever"! So we are going to put a date with her next week! 

This week we are going to baptize W and R! W is from UTAH!!! his wife is a member but he is down here for some patriot act that Obama made. So he speaks english and its awesome! His wife is commin down here in December and offered to meet you guys somewhere to bring me a package! I have her number but it´s in my agenda and that´s in my house! I´ll send it to you next week!

Okay well I hope you all had a great week and that you had a blast in mexico and that nick had fun all alone! love you guys a ton! YA TENGO 13 MESES!!!!
