Family,

wow i am so happy to be a missionary! It is the best thing i have ever done in my life. This week was really awesome, we had one baptism, Thayan. We had 4 people to be baptized, but Sergio, he didnt pass the interview, he is going to need to be interviewed by President. so him and his family were not baptized. But i am sure that they will be baptized this week or the next, it just depends on President and his schedule. This week we have 3 other baptisms, and it is going to be awesome. Thayá, Paulo, and Jose. It is going to be a really special week for us. And if everything goes right Sergio will be baptized too with his 2 daugthers this week too. so it could be a really special week for us. We are really trying to make our area the example of the mission. We are trying to work our hardest to show our Savior we are grateful for him. My companion is still Elder Standage, we are going to work together this transfer too. It is going to be really good. Our goal is to baptize 20 people in May. haha, and i know it is possible. We are going to really work like we have never worked before.

Our zone is doing great, but it is going to get better. We have already baptized 19 people this month!! And we have 8 more this week, so we are going to baptize about 28 or so this month in our zone. It is going to be amazing in May we have set the goal for 65 baptisms in our zone. haha it is possible. everyone is really faithful and ready to work hard.

We are really seeing the Lords hand in our work. I know the Lord loves me, and he takes care of me. I am so happy to be a missionary. I have never know the Master Savior until i served a mission.I am growing so much.

Hurrah for Israel!!!
