October 31

Hello, how are you all, I¨m doing ok, this week was kind of hard because both of us got alittle sick, but we are better now, still recovering alittle bit, but that´s just how it is. IT HAS BEEN SO HOT!!! and then yesterday it rained. now it´s hot again.

the pictures attached are Nefi, age 3, and Paul, age 6. They are the brothers of the baby Lehí that was just born.. picture of the baby is in the other email. Their mom is Seluti and she is a recent convert- she wanted to get baptized for a long time but her husband had to get divorced to marry her, so that´s how they have a 3 year old named Nefi. They´re a g reat family.

We weren´t able to have Shirley´s baptism this week, becuase she had to work on sunday, and her confirmation has to be in sacrament meeting, so it will be this saturday. Hooray!! Shirley is so great and ready.

We lost track of Jose CArlos, and SAndra is really hard to find now because she is traveling constantly for her work, but we will keep working and looking!!

There is a family in the ward and they let us have FHE with them every monday night, and we bring investigators, last week we decided to make the treats and we made mud cups, actually Ericka our pensionista made the pudding and we brought the oreo and worms, it really surprised some of them! But it was a hit. I guess we had halloween early...

Last monday we had an activity as a zone with the zone Paraiso, my last zone, so i got to see Hna hernandez and she told me that Lars got baptized!! Remember the guy from Sweden we were teaching!! I AM SO HAPPY!!! Also another investigator, Nicole, got baptized.. we were about ready to give up on her! So in total that is 5 baptisms for me in october between the 2 areas. Yesss!!

What else... so the prophet made a decision for the missionaries all around the world, and it is that all missionaries can have DVD players in our houses!!! WE got ours the other day. It is a little portable DVD player.WE only have 1 DVD to watch. So... that´s my christmas idea mom! DVD´s... we can only watch DVDs from the church though. Ones that have the church logo on the case. I want the video for the REstoration, and whatever others you want to send. Finding faith in christ would be good. Just make sure you get the version with other languages on it for spanish.

we went to part of the ward relief society´s party for the birthdays of the sisters. Very different from a party in the USA. All the women were dancing!! They had a dance contest.. then ate cake. We had to go home before eating cake though!!

Well even though this week was hard i am happy. i am doing the Lord´s work, and that makes me happy, to be an instrument in his hands, and I know that the gospel message is true, i want to do all that i can to share it.

Going to the mission office later becuase i have a package that is stuck in customs that was sent by DHL.... don´t use DHL in the future please!

Ok so... my companion thinks i need glasses. I have been having a hard time reading in my personal study in the mornings, i get headaches if i read for very long. Do i need reading glasses?? I think so...
I think i can get a free exam here.But does our insurance cover that kind of stuff? although its probably cheap here.. i dont know. what should i do?

Sounds like a lot of fun stuff going on in your lives!!
Keep your grades up brothers!!

I am praying for Grandpa T and Melissa.. I had no idea that stuff was going on!

Have a fun trip to Oman!!! .. and trip to London!

Love you all..

Have a great week! Love Hermana Tibbitts
