Hello family.
well i{m trying to do a bunch of things on the computer right now so this may be short. i wanted to respond to last weeks letter that you sent but i forgot it and dont have time.



this week we had the baptis of mercedes and victoria!! we decided that we should just do it, we had to go almost every night to teach them and prepare them but at the end they were ready a nd it was a nice baptism alhtough difficult to pull off because of course we couldnt find anyone to help us be witnesses or baptize, we finally got them but then realized that the font had been emptied out halfway right when we were ready to do the ordinance. So we had to turn the water back on and also fill with buckets. luckily the people that came and victoria and mercedes were understanding and waited. Also we had an 18 year old baptize, spencer, and it was his 2nd baptism (1st was Daniela) and he had to baptized Mercedes 3 times because once her hair came out and once her dress came out. Then he had to baptize Victoria 4 times because her foot came out every time, and she{s a little bit bigger. So spencer is a stud and he has lots of pracitce now for his mission (december he will do his papers).

Tanner!! happy bithday!!! i can{t believeyou are 18!! Proud of you too!

As far as summer goes--- sounds ok everything you are saying. I dont know what to do about housing so you can just wait, i{ll decide later. I should be home around May 4 or 5 and i will arrive to abu dhabi. going to the states in mid june sounds good also Sounds good about the classes too, in fall. Summer i dont think so. I dont know what else. but i do want to work and earn some money..

thanks for the photos!!! sounds fun the cub scout thing, but lots of work, way to go dad.} and thanks for your letters. theyalways make me feel good.

this week was interesting, lots of worrying about getting mercedes and victoria ready, and we have a few new families and poeple that we are teaching. We have one family that is great, familia Manjares (Victoria and manfred) Victoria is an amazing person but she is not married and they have problems in their relationship, hopefully she can get married, she feels good in the church and we think she will make the decision.
We also found this guy named Gustavo, he lives with some people that we have visited like twice, he is a rocker with a ponytail but has a burning interest in the BOM, we told him to come to chruch and we would give it ot him, and he came! So we were able tot each him about it and he is looking for the truth, the members helped us A LOT in the lesson, and he wants to read it in a week. So we will see what happens. The Lord works in such mysterious wayssometimes.
We are preparing for april. This week are transfers. I think i will stay here with hna brinez and that hna cornejo willl go to another area. But you never know.

thanks for all your prayers. love you all. take care.
