Hola Mom! Ha the story about the carp cracked me up, that definitely sounds worth it even though they had to run and everything. That’s way cool Quentin L Cook is going to visiting our stake too, what a coincidence! This week went really good for us. We had 2 baptisms yesterday, Josue David and his mom Angelica. Josue is 14 year old kid that’s been going to church with a friend since February. He´s one of the best converts I’ve ever seen and I’m sure he´ll be a future missionary, he already wants to serve a mission and everything. His mom Angelica is also really special. She´s been telling us every time that we see her that she´s been feeling a peace and joy that she hasn´t ever felt before. She also has been able to quit smoking, an addiction that she has had for a really, really long time. They both shared their testimonies in their baptismal service yesterday and it was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had on the mission- the Spirit was so strong and to be able to see the changes they´ve made, I don’t want to sound gay, but I cried a little bit too. Everything here in the ward is really progressing. There are more people in sacrament meeting than ever before, we´re going to have another baptism next week, and the bishopric is awesome and most of the members here are thrilled to have missionaries again. My comp and I get along great, he´s one of the best companions I’ve ever had. So this week I’ll be doing divisions a couple days with some other elders from my district, and my comp is sad that I’m leaving him it’s pretty funny. Everything is going really good, I feel like I’m still becoming a better missionary every day, I love seeing the progression. I hope you guys have a great week, I love you so much!
