dear familyi didnt get the e mail from mom so hopefully it didnt say anything important. we had 4 baptisms on saturday, so that was basically the story of the week, i think it was the most spiritual baptism of my mission. it really was amazing. the people that got baptized are called carla muzayon victoria muzayon and idai muzayon and jose andahua. i went in the waters and baptized carla muzayon. she is 19 years old. victoria is 25 and idai the mom is 55 years old. then jose is 40, his whole family were members before he got baptized, so they were helping him. but that was the spiritual experience, it really was amazing. they were all crying in their baptism, it was amazing. i am pretty excited to talk to everyone. have patience haha, i have a latin comp so its hard for me to not think in spanish haha. so have patience. we will be calling from the church, i cant promise you 3 hours because we are 4 missionaries here. so we all have to talk from the same phone. i can give ya 2 hours but i dont think much more then that. you will see me in a month and a half anyways haha. i really cant believe we were so close. but still its quite a bit of time. i remember when i was a youngin in the mission all of the old missionaries that were always thinking about home there last transfers and barely worked, the famous frase was what do i care, i am already gone. and i would ask them why dont they just endure to the end, and they would always tell me when you have the time i have you will understand. i am so glad i am not like them, every day i get more enery to work. i read a talk by elder holland that said he wants us to work so hard that the day of our homecoming we can make a dramatic entrance by coming in the chapel on a strecher with holes in your shoes your suit torn and a tired look on your face. and when you get to the pulpit all you can say is.... i gave it my all.... haha that would be pretty dramatic. but my attitude is like that, i would never do that but it sounds pretty cool haha. but i wont say anything else so that we can talk more christmas. i will call at 10 o clock your time. and dont worry if i am 10 minutes or 15 minutes late to call haha, theirs usually always a little problem. but it will be easier now that i am calling you guys. so expect the call between 10 to 10 15 love you. chau!!
