Letter Dated March 19, 2012

Dear Mom and Dad; 

Well glad things seem to be going pretty good back home. Sounds like kind of a dull week for you guys. Not a lot happened over there. But sometimes its just like that I guess.

The pictures on the box were...great catholic pictures, ha ha.  We see those a lot over here.

Yea so, Melina got baptized on Friday. Went really well. We shall see if I can get the picture on the computer today or not, cause I am going to Bahia Blanca again to finish my visa stuff. Yeaa.... so I leave here in a few minutes, ha ha.  Always something going on.

This week we are planning on having two more baptisms.  Natalia and Gaby, they both should be baptized.  Which is really exciting. That would mean we had 4 baptisms in a month.  Which is really rare.  Just cause the Average amount of baptisms in the mission is 8 in two years. So we should have 4 in this month. We are pretty stoked. Some hard work is finally paying off in some baptisms eh.

Yessid is still a bit of a problem child.  We had a really good lesson yesterday with him.  And he said he would think about baptism.  He really does know the church is true he just needs to decide to go ahead and decide... But I guess for him it's more complicated then it is for me.  We hope to get him baptized in the next couple of weeks.  Guess we shall see huh.

So we had 45 people at church.  Which is great.  We have to have 50 for 3 months to get a church building instead of renting a house. So we are pretty close.  We are just going to keep working and I think we can get it.

I got bit by a dog this week. :(  on my finger.  It bled for a bit.  But don't worry the dog doesn't have rabies or anything.  Just a mean dog.  I hope it wasn't wrong for me to kick it, ha ha.  I wasn't very happy with that dog.

Anyway so I wont be in Castex again to Wednesday night at like 6 or 7ish cause Wednesday we have zone conference.  We were going to have it this week, but President was sick.  A lot of people and Missionaries were sick this last week.  So wasn't just me.  Whew.  But being sick on the mission is the worst, cause you just have to got out and work, ha ha.  Can't sit still.

So the 1st is a picture of the baptismal font we use.  It's a big swimming pool.  Water is nice though.

The 2nd is Melina and Her dad.  Her dad baptized her.  It went super well. So we are pretty happy.

Have a good week this week.

Love ya
