Its going to be sad to see the house go but its what ever, did it snow at
all this year? it looks so dry. Defenatly going to have to be super careful
this year. You should really start working on a food storage though. I
think it is something that we should really do. at least start with water.

This week was filled with fun filled work. So we are most likely going to
have the baptism of the one girl this week. its all set up for this
Saturday at 12 so we are praying. Tulio when we taught him on Friday still
wants to be baptized. Still has some confusion on what the book of Mormon
is. (thinks its an exert from the bible written for the Americas) But he
says he believes its the word of God so i guess that's good. We still have
to teach the Big commandments though. And don't know if we will get in
enough times to teach him all of it by Saturday. But its alright, i would
rather slow it down a little bit and really help him understand it than
just push it all to get a baptism. I know he will be baptized because he
said if its a commandment of God to be baptized we should do it. So if not
this week, the next week for sure!!

This week we were given another challenge from the Zone Leaders to take our
contacting up another step and reach the 70 contacts for the Stander of
Excellence the Mission Prez has set. So we excepted. It was awesome!! It
pushed us out of our comfort zone. Because, yes we were kinda trying to get
numbers but we did not let anybody pass us up! We talked to everyone, even
if we had to go chase them down. But it was good fun to do that. We even
have several people we are going back to this Saturday to follow up. It use
to be scary to run up to people but i love it, its fun and it gives us
another chance of helping more people come unto Christ. So we are trying to
fulfill that propose and pass nobody up. So we did take the challenge and
we did it! we got 73 for the week. It was allot of time but we got it done.

Last thing, the family from Spain i talked about a while ago came to our
branch just to see how it is. The wife loved it, she loved the woman in
there and she loved being back in her culture. ( Cause she is half Mexican)
He did not though, he had that very proud Spaniard way with him. He said
nobody could understand him cause of his accent and that he could not
understand them. all the Spanish was to different. In my head i was
thinking "welcome to everyday of my life, 100 different accents. and i have
to understand them all". So they are going back to the English ward. And it
is about 30 minuets closer to them. But when we get the sisters in the
Buford area, the wife will love to go out with them. I love that family but
they are just so far we cant teach them anymore, so the English is taking
the teaching back over.
