MBAE TE COPIO!

NICOLAS GOT BAPTIZED!!!! That is pretty much the best news ever. Saturday night he was doubting his testimony and very nervous but we had a great lesson talking about trusting in God and how to recognize his holy spirit. It was tuff but the spirit did work and Sunday morning he got baptized!! It was so cool all the members were very happy cause he has known the church and the members for a long time. He loves me. I really hope that one day you can get to know him! I love this guy. We eat at his house every Sunday. He was married to a woman and they had one kid (his wife is a millionaire. She has a house that’s worth 4 million dollars) but about 4 years ago he messed up and they divorced but he is over at her house and always talking and i think they will get back together some day but doesn’t look like any time soon. He is so cool. He is buying a computer to write me when i get back.

This week was one of the most successful weeks that i have had as a missionary in a very long time. We found many many families that we are teaching right now that are sencier (no idea how to spell that one) people. (I think he means sincere)  One kid is 21 years old that is into drugs and beer and everything but has really began his repentance process well. We will see who ends up progressing. There is one family that we found... get this! so ever since i have been here when i pass this house i always get the feeling to touch or... knock it. or clap it (how every you say it) and i had contacted the house 6 times before Friday.   Then Friday night we were walking past it and i stopped in the street with the same impression and accepted it and went and contacted the house for the 7th time. The dad came out and basically was like, why are you back. We said we just wanted to get to know them and ask them a few questions about their beliefs in Christ. He let us in and we taught lesson one and it was awesome!!!!! Never ignore the spirit even though it seems stupid. Sadly no one went to church so hopefully we will have more success this week about that.

i can feel my Spanish getting a little weaker sadly but we try to speak in Spanish in the streets but alot of times we get lazy. I know he needs it and i can do better with that. I have really found joy in watching the progression of other people. Like hearing about Braiden and basketball makes me happy... you should hear me brag about him to members and missionaries haha and my comp is progressing very well. He teaches a whole lot better then when he got here. I have found it alot harder to focus in this last time. But we are working very hard. Both of us have pretty good colds and i have blown my brains out of my nose completely! i am really sick of blowing my nose.

Everything is good here. I am super skinny and i feel like i am getting skinnier.. i don’t know why. I try and eat more but I’m like a stick now. I want a little cushion (also dont know how to spell that)

love you all
