Letter #37 A Week of Firsts!!!

¡Hola Familia!

So we will see how much I Get written because the space bar isn´t working very well at all. BUt it sounds like every one is doin well. Cory it sounds like you had a grerat birthday, but how are you doing? Have you had your first date yet? Dad, I took out 1000 pesos today. I think it was a little much, but thanks for it. I have to buy another watch too so it should be good. We get 1350 pesos at the beginning of the month and on the 15 we get 650 pesos in Queretaro. It is enough sometimes, depending on what is going on in the month. But it is good with budgeting your money. But thanks!!

Well, as you can tell from thepictures, i had my first baptism here in Mexico. Laura got baptized this Sunday and it was really good. It was cool to see her overcome all of the family problems and be courageuos in following what she know is right. And then the other picture is of a pet armadillao. Man it is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thught that I would see an armadillo up close, but itis awesome.

This coming week should bea good week for ElderRodriguez and I. Pray for our investigator Estela. She is hopefully going to get baptized this Sunday. She is a really cool lady and it has been good to anweser all of her doubts and questions. This gospel is so true. It is amazing me how itjust makes so much sense. And pray for her son Francisco too. He is ready to get baptizedbut has an addiction with cigaros. He has to wait 30 days till we can baptize him. Pray that he can quit smoking.They are awesome! And they are the ones that have the armadillo.

But this past week I have been reading about the Last Supper and Christ´s atoning sacrifice in the Garden of Gethsemane in Jesus the Christ. It is such a powerful book. It really puts a powerful perspective on what Christ did for us. I am so thnakful that everyday I have the opportunity to repent and find forgiveness. The gospel truly is the great news. There is so much hope in it. Life tries us and Satan does everything so that we will fall away, but we need the gospel more than ever. It is our sure foundation. As we keep pressing forward, we find more and more stregnth from the gospel.

Well sorry for the shortness the letter and for all the extra spaces and errors. This space bar is drivingme crazy!!!! And there ísn´t a whole lot of time write. I hope that everyone has great week! Happy Valentine´s Day!!!!!!!!!!!! And Jason, buena suerte en el GMAT! Crush it!!!! Use your little noggin!! And COry, stay away from the girls. :) I love yall!!!

Con Amor
