ello everybody,
awesome to hear about how things are going at home. Yeah so i don´t know why the houses roofs look like they are pink. Its just he way they look. Well we had a hurricane come through these last couple of days. Hurricane Matthew. So there has been a ton of rain! i got a video of what it looks like, i think you will get a kick out of it. That is whenever i send a letter home.
This week has really been awesome! We had a wedding and then a baptism for them after. It is a family of four, but three are old enough for baptism. They are an awesome family! They are going to be a very powerful family here in El Salvador! They are a very smart family. E. Brotherson and i have seen them change so much! Its amazing what the gospel can do! Its hard to difficult to really get connected with this anyone here when you can´t speak their language very well, But i feel pretty close to this family. I baptized Claudia, daughter; and E. brotherson baptized the parents, Dimas and Yessica. They have a son who is 2, he just turned two just last sunday. Anyway they are awesome! E. Brotherson is going to keep in contact with them when he goes home, and i will try to keep in contact with them, too.
So something cool this week. I went on divisions with a other gringo in our zone, by the way our whole zone got a baptism this change so Presidente Perez is coming out to take us all out to lunch today! Right anyway so i was on divisions with E. Price in his area and we talked to one of the persons that is getting baptized next week and i talked to her sister about the book of mormon all by my self! At times it was difficult to say what i want, but i got it across the language barrier. So that was cool, I think it really opened her eyes. I hope so.
Well changes are this wednesday, so my comp is leaving for home. Hah he isn´t very "baggie", that basically means he would want to go home. But he has really been pretty focused when it really comes down to it. umm... so i wil get a new companion, probably a latino. Which is good. This will help my spanish skills explode! I just hope he likes to work hard, because in this area there are people that are ready.Well i love you all!
