HEY!

That is so awesome that Dad was called as a bishop! He makes me so proud! Shoot! Even the President of the church had to approve him! And he made it! Think of it! The prophet received revelation specifically about MY father! That is awesome to think about.

Gladys´ baptism was great. It was also one of the most hectic experiences of my mission because for some reason I decided to not have a handle on everything that was happening and expect everything to just fall into place, which was a mistake that will not happen again. But she was amazing and so strong the whole time and it was just amazing. She was confirmed yesterday and on Saturday, we are planning on going over to her aldea, which is called Chirrenox, to talk to her family who also came to the baptism! I am pretty excited about that. Something that I have really realized in this area, that whether or not I have success (or baptize) does not have anything to do with me. I cannot take credit for any of it. God just prepared her perfectly and put her into our lives so that we could baptize her. I love her so much and she is such an amazing person. She is soo humble and loving and it is just great. She and her husband Arnoldo (in the foto I sent you guys) are going to be amazing members of the church. But God is good. I love Him and I know that He loves me.

Also, José Guicol went to church yesterday! After like 10 years of inactivity, he finally came to church! (again a miracle of God because there was nothing that I could have done to make him come to church). Transfers are either on the 7th or the 8th (whichever is a Tuesday).

And true to His word (1 Nephi 3:7), we were able to get the 40 contacts. It was a good experience and now I LOVE contacting. I am planning on doing a lot of divisions with missionaries when I get back to the states (by the way, did anyone notice that I completed 19 months the other day? I sure didn´t, until almost a week afterwards.)

That is amazing that Dad was called as Bishop! That is crazy awesome! Yeah, President Smith is a really great man. I love him even though I don´t know him that well. He is very, very inspired. You guys are going to activate the crap out of the ward. I am excited about that place. I won´t even recognize it when I get back.

Well, I gotta blow this joint because my time just ran out, but I love you guys!

Love
