Whats up Everyone- July 13th 2009

Hello everyone,
How is everyone doing this week? This week went by really fast it seems like i got done writing you last week. A lot has happened since the last week when i wrote. First of all we had a baptism last Saturday. Alarico Larrosa got baptized it was a cool story he is 84 years old. It was funny because we started to talk about baptism and he said that he was going to wait until summer to get baptized because he thought that we were going to do the baptism in the river Uruguay. He didn´t know that we did the baptisms in the church. Missionaries had talked to him over 3 years ago and they left him a Libro de Mormón but he never progressed and they stopped visiting him. We found him like a month and a half ago and he said that he had read the Book of Mormon 2 times all the way through. He went to church 3 times and was baptized last Saturday. Really it was a huge miracle for my comp and i we have worked really hard and we are just starting to see the fruits of our work. It is getting really cold up in Bella Union and i still haven´t used the scarf. The weather is really cold in the mornings but it heats up by mid-day and then it feels really good. We went and did service with one of the families in the area and we cut wood. I got the biggest blister on my hand from cutting wood with an ax. It was really fun to do it but we paid the price afterwards. Our investigators are progressing great the area is in a lot better shape now than when i got here almost tow changes ago. Next week we have changes again and i think that i will be going but i will tell you next week so i might e-mail on Tuesday next week but write me like you normally do cause i probably will still do e-mail on Monday.Hey Mom a couple people in the ward have asked for a recipe for corn bread could you send me your recipe? I love you all thanks so much for the e-mails i´m glad that you got to take the boat out for the first time. Dad did you pull out of the water the first time? If not you better practice you have got a summer to get it perfected. Work hard and have fun i love you all have a great week. Que pasen bien.
