Hey family!!  Everything is going great here, this week was good we had a special conference this Tuesday and I was able to see lots of my old comps and friends so that was cool!!  On Friday I went on interchanges with Elder Gove in Las Villas and it was good to go where there are paved roads and eat some solid food.   I enjoyed it!  Yesterday the stake president came to the branch, we were able to bring a few investigators and it was good. But afterwards we had to walk with the branch president about almost an hour to put the tithing in the bank.  Some times we take for granted the little things that we have everyday, like a car to drive to church in!!!  This week we also found a black widow in the house right by my desk...besides that everything has been good.   We have some investigators that are progressing good they just have some doubts about getting baptized, but I know that they will!!  We went climbing up the hill by our house on Monday with the branch president and a member!  It was good, I'll send some pics! Anyways, have a good week and I'll see y'all soon!!

Hey family this week was good, we have found some new people that are really cool.  Sounds like y'all had a good week!  By the way, I might come back talking like I'm from the south cause my comps accent is rubbing off on me! Everything is going good, my comp is awesome, its nice to be with an American again! We have some cool investigators that are progressing and we are working hard here. We organized an activity but there were very few members that went but we brought a lot of investigators. I gave a talk in sacrament meeting again and taught the class! By the time Sunday is over I'm pretty burned out! The other day we went and did a service project with the zone, we picked up trash and cleaned the road in a tunnel. But anyways, sounds like you all had a good week! Thanks for everything,  we'll see you soon!

Hey family whats up!!  This week was good, we were able to baptize Leslie, Pedro, and Diana.  It was really neat, Pedro and Diana are part of a family that had known the missionaries for a long time now but the dad had never gone to the church and when I got here I wanted to go with them and we went on Saturday and we shared a simple powerful lesson and he went to church the next day and he hasn't missed a Sunday after that, and that was 5 weeks ago.  He isn't married to his wife so he can't get baptized but in the near future. His other son is going to get baptized in a couple weeks also! and Leslie is the grand daughter of a recent convert that we started teaching a couple weeks ago!  I'm really enjoying Imperial, its fun.  I got a new companion today, his name is Elder Cronin, he is American from Mississippi, he has almost 6 months in the mission, he seems really cool.  I'm excited for this last transfer!!  Hopefully we are going to baptize this week Lucero, the sister of Ricardo!  But anyways everything is going good here!! Thanks for the pics, the garden is looking good! Thanks for everything, have a great week!!
