Email Letter - February 26, 2014

Hey everyone,

I’m doing great here and having a lot of fun, I’m probably in the best shape of my life walking up and down hill 10 to 15 times a day, if not more. I’ve never actually counted ha-ha. But things are going great in the work. My comp and I are having a lot of success and also a lot of fun ha-ha. He is one of the funniest people I know which is saying something cause I know some pretty funny people, (myself being number one of course).

But this weekend we are going to have a 2 day intercambio cause my comp will be going to the temple with a family that he baptized last year, and I will be baptizing Veronica and her two sons. It’s going to be a big weekend for the both of us. And we´re both very excited.

That’s really it for this week everyone, hope you all have a great week.

Hey everyone.

Not a lot big has happened this last week. You know just the spirit of the lord touching the hearts of men. ;) Ha-ha. No but seriously this week has been really good. My new comp is named Elder Agramonte. Getting a new comp has been a really good experience for me, and I’ve grown a lot in this last week.

Our investigators are doing really well and we have a lady that we´re going to baptize not this Saturday but the next. She and her kids are really excited and can’t wait. I honesty wish I had a picture of this lady from when we first started teaching her to compare to how she looks right now. Cause seriously she doesn’t even look like the same person. It’s a truly amazing experience to how the blessing of the gospel truly changes lives.

Well that’s it for this week everyone. I love and miss you all.

Email Letter and Pictures - Febuary 12, 2014

Hey everyone! Sorry it’s been awhile since my last group email, I’ve just been really busy and not had a lot of time to write. But I’m doing great, I’m still in San Fran. And I had my first baptism this last weekend.

We had been teaching this part member family, where the husband was a less active and the wife and kids were non members, but we got them married legally this last Friday, and on Saturday the wife and oldest son were baptized, and they both asked me to perform the ordinance, I was really nervous but everything went smoothly.

Other really big news is that the branch that I am serving in that in November only had 20 people coming to church every Sunday is now big enough to become a ward. This will officially happen sometime in the next two months or so. This is really big for the branch as you can imagine. Needless to say the members are ecstatic and the missionaries are able now to work harder than ever with the now significant help of the members.

Today I got my new comp. He is a native Dominican that is a little shorter then my shoulder and is rather round. Ha-ha. But I am very excited to get to know him and work with him. There is a pretty good chance that I will kill him as well, but we´ll see.

Well that’s it for this week, I love you all and you’re always in my prayers.
