YESTERDAY WE HAD A SURPRISE BAPTISM

Nothing is really new here. We are just going to work hard. Last week of work, so I need to make it count. I pray that I can make this week memorable. We will see what happens.

Yesterday we had a surprise baptism. His name is Alfredo. He is the brother of Raul, the first guy we baptized here in Coloso. It was my last baptism and one of the best baptismal services I´ve experienced. The Spirit was soo strong. I loved it.

Tell everyone that I love them and we´ll see each other soon.

Baptizing Five People this Saturday

All is going well over here in Acapulco. We are going to have a busy week. We are going to be baptizing five people this Saturday! It will be two couples and another guy. We are really excited for all of them. The work keeps going forward!

So will I be registering at home that day then, the 13 of June? Plus could you talk to someone to help me plan for what I will take. I am soo confused by all this. It´s a whole new system.

I love you Mom. I can´t wait to come home to a gluten free home. Quick note, what does that mean that we wont be eating?

Things are Going Amazing Here

-- Things keep going amazingly here. I´m loving it. We are preparing for another baptism this weekend. It´s for a little girl, Naomi. She comes from an incomplete, inactive family. We were going about a normal day when one of our investigators gave us a note with a name and number. She then explained that it´s from a person who wants us to come by and baptize her daughter. We don´t find people, they find us.
This past week I also went to a leadership conference. It was a great spiritual building experience. I want to do the best I possible can in life, to live up to my full potential. It´s interesting that after studying the doctrine of Christ things seem to just fall into place. Soo simple, but soo powerful and life changing.
It´s interesting to see that I only have five more weeks left. It doesn´t seem real. I don´t feel like I´m going to be ending soo soon. I´m excited to come home and nervous at the same time. I´m soo used to this life style now, I´ve kind of forgotten real life. I know everything will work out, but I´m still nervous. Oh well, I´ll cross that bridge when I get there.

We Are Going to Have So Much Fun!!!

So I found out that this will be my last area. We received changes yesterday and I´m staying and I´m with the same comp, Elder Olsen. We are going to have so much fun. Our goal for the month of May is eight baptisms. We are really excited for that and we can achieve it. All is good in the work, this week we wont baptize but the following week we will. We have a leadership training this week so I will be going to Cuernavaca for two days. That should be fun. I´ll get to see some friends for the last time. I have a feeling that this time will fly by. It always does. I don´t have my flight plans yet. I know that they made them and that I will leave the 13 of June, but the timing, I´m not sure. I probably wont get home till Wednesday night. When is Caity´s graduation, will I be able to make it?

I had an amazing experience last night. We were doing some weekly planning in our apartment when my comp and heard our neighbor yell my name, she´s a member. She asked if we could do her a favor. We said yes of course. One of our converts was over at her house with his brother; they are about the age of me and Caleb. The brother wasn´t a member and he wanted to listen to us. He commented how he had noticed a big change in his brother. We started teaching; we talked about how we are children of God and that He loves us, that we can talk to him through prayer. At the end of the lesson, of about ten mins, we invited him to pray. He prayed then started to cry, the Spirit was overwhelming. Our convert went over and gave his brother a hug. Then his brother asked what he needed to do to be baptized, he now is working toward May 19 to be baptized. I love this! There is no greater joy in the whole wide world.

We Do Not Doubt, for Our Mothers Knew it

 It´s soo true what you said about Christ. It reminded me of what our mission president always teaches us; that each and everyone of us should have a personal experience with Christ through His Atonement, teachings, or whatever it may be. I have done that on my mission and it has made the biggest difference in my testimony. If you haven´t read Jesus the Christ, amazing book.

> Everything is good here we baptized again this week. I don´t remember if I told you this in my letter. But his name is Juan Gomez. He has the biggest desire to serve God that I have ever seen in any person! We had a small short program, but the Spirit was soo strong; I loved it!
>
> We are going to be focusing a lot this week in finding more people to teach, people that can be baptized soon. Because my time is winding down. It´s soo hard to believe that has gone by soo fast. I don´t have any regrets so that´s been the best for me.
>
> If you do me a favor, that in this next month you could keep your eyes out for full time work during the summer for me. Thanks Mom.
>
> I love you Mom. You have been the greatest example to me. Like it says in the scriptures "We do not doubt, for our mothers knew it."

> Love you Mom!

ALL IS GOOD IN MEXICO

 All is good in Mexico. We baptized this last week and completed a family. That was amazing! We are also going to  be baptizing another person this Sunday. He has been so prepared to get baptized! He came from California, only based on the feeling that there is something here for him. He has been looking for the truth, just hasn´t been able to find it. He actually contacted us and from the beginning has wanted to be baptized. It will be for this Sunday at 5p.m.
As for the sleeping arrangements you would be surprised what someone could used to doing. I´ll just be that more grateful for my own when I get home. 
Senioritices, I remember those good ol days. When I was a senior about three years ago. Time really flies by sometimes. That´s weird to think that Caity and I will be going to school together. Question is the truck still in good condition or will I need to buy a new car or something?
I had interviews with President Spannaus today. He basically told to work hard and enjoy these last two months of my mission. I have accepted the fact that I will be home in two months. Oh well, had to get over that hurtle. Things are good though, I can talk about home and still be focused, it hasn´t bee that big of a deal for me.
