Hello everyone

Hola familia,
how is everyone doing this week? I hope that you are all doing great. This week wasn´t as busy as the last couple but it was a good week. We had a baptism on Saturday and it was really good. Her name is Susana Mendez. She is about 50 years old and it was a good baptismal service, it was kind of funny because her grandson baptized her and he just barely was ordained a priest and he is a little skinny guy and Susana is a bigger lady. He couldn´t get her to go all the way under the water. It wan´t his fault because she wouldn´t let herself fall she would go stiff and then he couldn´t get her to go under the water. So he tried like 4 times and finally they had her just like squat down and put her head between her legs. It was pretty funny i hadn´t ever seen a baptism like that but it works. The work is starting to pick up now it was a little rough the first couple of weeks. Paysandú is a great area and it has a lot of potential we are just trying to change it right now and it is looking really good. The missionaries are working hard and they are having some good success. Our goal for this month is 22 baptisms and we have the people to reach the goal we just have to give them all baptismal date an keep working hard. We have our sector conference this Friday. I am really excited because the President is doing them a little different, he is only doing 2 zones at a time and before we would do 3 to 4 zone all together. so it should be a little more personal and more interaction with all the missionaries. We have the sector conference once a change, also we have interviews and ZLC once a change. So after this week we don´t have any more big meeting until next change. Every Tuesday we have a district meeting with all the missionaries here in p-dú. So we get to see all the missionaries at least once a week. Next week we are going to go to Argentina and do divisions with the elders over there.
We have 4 elders in Argentina and president wants us to go help them out a little bit. So they gave us our passports and we are going to go visit them. The weather is already starting to warm up it is just sweater weather now. For like two weeks i had to wear my thermal g´s but i think that i won´t have to wear them again this winter. With the whole camera thing how much would it cost to send it down here fed ex because i could buy one here if it would be cheaper. My camera is a sony 8.1 megapixel i will get you the exact product number next week. I love you all i hope that you are going to have a great time at lake powell. Next year i will be there. Did dad pull out of the water the first time? If he didn´t he better practice because i am going to do it the first time. i love you all have a great week and a safe trip.

p.s. tell grandpa kirk i love him and that he has to make it at least 10 more months
