Hello hello, Im doing goooood. We had a very sweet and eventfull week. Zone conference, interviews with the president, stake conference with one of the seventys and a sweet service project. We helped clean up the rubble from a house that got way messed up from the quake. and we found two mummified cats in the walls, it was nuts. We have been finding a lot more people this week even with our busy schedule. We are teaching a kid named rodolfo. Hes 14 and is way smart. His mom is less active and has never taught him anything about the church. But he is learning way fast and it all makes sense to him. He has prayed and he knows that Joseph Smith was a prophet, but his mom still wants him to learn more before we set a baptism date. They are all doing really great.

Im glad to hear grammy is still learning. I know exactly what she is going through, many people have the same problem. Its one of the biggest steps of being baptized. The step of Faith. You can know all these things to be true in your heart, but you still need to take that step to be baptized. Thats cool what happened with President laycock, its so true, the holy ghost is crucial. Our two biggest goals in this life are to obtain the holy ghost and then, maintain it. If you can do those two things you will always be learning and you will always know what to do to progress. It is the key to santifying us to return to live with God again. and your back at yard work again. ha. its starting to get pretty cold down here. I havent been keeping track of the temperature but we had our first rain friday and thunderstorm, it was crazy, i havent seen rain since the mtc and it was more snow.

that is crazy alex is leaving! if you could send me his address that would be awesome. the thing you should send is more sour patch kids, there is nothing sour down here, the people cant stand it, ha. i love you all, stay strong, pray always. until next week. Elder Roosendaal
