¡Familia!

I had such a wonderful week! Here in Villa el Salvador we had 9

baptizms in the whole zone! It was a really good week! My companion

and I had two. Claudia and Jose Maria. It was such a great baptizmal

service! Probably one of the best that I have ever had. It was so

reverent and peaceful and it went off without a hitch. Jose Maria is

an awesome kid. He's going to early morning seminary and is actually

the class president haha. Pretty awesome. Claudia is doing really

well. Her mom is getting active in the church again.

About Mala! Awesome! My best friend in the mission is in Mala right

now, Elder Brinton. He told me that Arevalo's daughter and husband were

going to get married and baptized but he didn't tell me when! That's so

cool! I'm so happy for them! I actually taught that couple a couple of

times when I was there. I think that it was Elder Ponciano and I.

Arevalo is so strong and he is sharing the gospel with his whole

family. The only bummer is that I'm not going to be able to make it for

their sealing. They are going to get sealed after I come home...

bummer. But they are going to do it and I'm thrilled for them!

We found a family named the Castros (sorry I can't think how to say

that correctly) They are awesome! We contacted a guy that was sitting

under a tree one day and we went to his house to teach them. They are

awesome. We had a second lesson planned but because of a zone

conference that they made go later than expected we had to cancel. But

after our lesson he went and talked to his neighbor who's a member and told

her he wanted an appointment with us. It's awesome when an investigator

comes to look for you instead of us having to look for him. It shows

their desire. His family is the best, AND THEY´RE MARRIED!! whooo!

everytime that we go he brings his wife and 9 year old son down to

listen to us. They have tons of desires.

I have a stronger testimony of the restoration. Every time that we

teach it something interrupts us. Literally it's almost 100% sure that

something is going to interrupt the first vision. Even in our zone

conference while we were practicing, some guy passed by with a mega

phone buying scrap metal. Something like that always happens. I know

its true because satan doesn't want anyone to hear it.

Well family I love you all! Thanks for your prayers. I'm trying my best!
Love Elder B
