Family,

This week was awesome! Ok, so we didn't have a ton of success finding new investigators or taking people to church, but all in all it was an awesome week! We had interviews with president this week which was great! With his wife, we talked a lot about the family and then she asked me how Hayley was doing and she told me that her grandparents ( the Staufers) weren't doing so well. It's sad to hear because they are such great people! Then with Presidnt basically asked similar questions and asked about the distrcit, which is doing great!

We should have like 6 maybe 7 baptisms as a district of only two companionships, which is really awesome because no one in the mission right now is have a whole lot of success. So that makes me super excited. It means I have to do 5 baptismal interviews this week! Awesome! Also yesterday my companion and I were kind of bumbed because we didn't have people in church so we decided to go and contact all the people that we had contacted in the street during the week! The first one was leaving, so we didn't get to visit her. The second let us go in and teach which was awesome, the familiy is like us. . . super busy all the time, but they were interested. When we taught about Joseph Smith they said they didn't believe it, but we told them to pray about it and they said that they would. Its great too. . because it's a family of 5 all older than 8 years. Yes!!!!!!!!!! then after that we visited another lady that we have been trying to get a hold of for 2 weeks so really I didn't want to but we did anyways. Come to find out that she had talked with the missionaries before and absolutely loved everything, but the missionaries just stopped visiting her for some reason so that was great!

Also a funny experience this week, we got on a bus and told the bus driver that we had to get off in a certain place and we didn't know where it was and he said he would tell us where we had to get off. . . so we were waiting . . then the bus driver stopped and said Elderes de Isreal aqui es. haha My companion and I were laughing. He was really cool. Then we got on another bus and the bus driver spoke english in this area its really rare that someone knows how to speak english but also he gave me change of 180 pesos in coins of 5 pesos each. Man that was a large stack of coins. I had it almost pullled down my pants from the wieght! Haha . . but all in all it was a great week! Im glad you guys are staying busy and enjoying life remember we only live life once so live it the best that you can! I hope you liked the serape that I sent you. I'm glad it made it there! I sent a sueter for dad that should get their this week or maybe this next week! Well I love you guys! Oh, is their a way that we can get a hold of David when he comes!? and when is he coming down here!? Thanks for everything! I love you guys!
