hey!HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW MARCUS
i'm so glad you guys loved the little package. ok well marta got baptized yesterday! it was awesome!!!!!! the saturday before we had a family night with the ward and we invited pres. and sis may to come and speak and it was awesome. we had a bunch of new people that the members brought to the activity so hopefully we can teach some of them. ok well keep in your prayers: totti claudia and bilma. i think they will be our next baptisms after emiliana on the 22nd.. she is good to go. ok well a funny story. yesterday my comp felt a little sick and felt like he had to spew the whole day but i was like, ya it's not that bad let's go and work the days almost over. so we continued to work and like and hour before we had to enter for the night we visited totti. she told us her aunt just died and she seemed ok but i know it was a rough day. so my comp began to talk and explain about the plan of salvation. she lives in some apartments that are open. like the stairs and hallways are outside. well we were talking to her outside her door and there was a balcony next to us and as my comp began to talk he said "just a sec" and went over to the balcony and spewed! he spewed like 4 times and totti and i were trying hard not to laugh. after 4 spews from the second floor, my comp returned with a smile cause he felt a lot better ha ha ha. we laughed quite a bit, i couldn't stop laughing. ok another random thought. i was eating my beloved pringles a couple nights ago when i looked at the pringle guy on the can and i noticed somethihng......it looks like DAD.. the moustache most of all. so i have decided on dad's grandpa name and it's pringles! isn't it perfect! and the kids will say it like pwingles. it's perfect if you guys don't agree i don't know what i'll do cause it's perfect. i got the package and it was full of love. i'm eating every bit of it. i love the cd you guys sent it's great. and the letters too especially napolean dynamite. just a heads up. keep sending me the small memory blue memory cards cause the other memory cards they are gigantic, i can't print fotos off cause they are too big. so don't buy more just send me them cause that's what i need to print off pics and send to people. also i wanted to give a shout out to adam, sheyenne, and chad whose birthdays are this month. ok well thanks for the letters they are great. i'm lovin the mission and i am so happy. after martas baptism i saw her walk into the bathroom soaking wet as a lady in the ward went in to help, along with marta´s daughter and they gave some screams of joy! marta was so nervous until she came up out of the water and she had a huge smile on her face. i don't know if i already read this quote toyou guys but ezra taft benson said: true happiness only comes by making others happy. so true isn't it. i love that quote. also a missionary shared a thought with me. he had the definition of a missionary written and shared it with me. MISSIONARY: Someone who leaves their family for a short time so that others may be with their families for eternity. pretty cool huh? that helped me forget myself a little. i love you guys so much and well see ya next week.
