Well, it's nice to hear from you.

Life over here, it's pretty awesome. I don't remember if I told you about my companion or not, but his name is Elder Mergel, and he is from Bellingham Washington, which is cool cause there are only like 3 of us from Washington in the mission. it's super awesome with him.

The funny thing is that the baptismal font has hit a dry spell. I was told it is a little more difficult here, but I feel like God has been testing us a lot. Which is a good thing I'm not complaining I love the challenge, and I believe that when the going gets tough it is because God wants us to grow, and that is what we are going to do! And we're going to enjoy it while the Lord works his miracles!

Love you guys

[President Nelson came to visit Seattle last weekend. I took notes and sent them to Steven. In doing so, I probably took all of his computer time. Consequentially, our message is brief.]

Well, I don't know what I can say to top that. I just hope they come here soon. I am also looking forward to General Conference. President Goodman told us that we should prepare ourselves spiritually with questions so that we can get more out of the conference, which I think would be a good idea for all of us.

I love you all. Keep being awesome

[We told Steven that Daniel was taking Spanish now]

Tell Daniel to translate this for  you,

"Yo amo galletas"

I could teach you the slang from Guatemala so that the Mexicans don´t understand you if you'd like! I'm sorry I´m just excited to have secret conversations in Spanish.

So there isn´t really that much to tell, but I o have one funny story to tell you. Last Sunday we ran out of people to visit at like 6:30pm. We were a little sad cause we haven´t been having a ton of notable success lately. So we went into a dark alley to say a prayer and ask for guidance. After the prayer, we still didn´t know what to do, so while we stood there thinking, a drunk lady came out of her house and walked passed us. We started to talk to her (before we realized that she was drunk), But she wouldn´t stop staring at me. She said to my companion "I really like this guy. He is really handsome just like my husband." After that, we left quickly just laughing at the silliness of the situation.
But the crazy part is that the drunk lady was an answer to our prayer because the funniness of it all gave us the energy we needed to keep working happily. When we prayed, God knew that we didn't need direction as much as we needed something to cheer us up. I guess that is why God is wiser than I am.

I love you, keep being awesome or for Daniel to practice "sigan siendo increíbles"

[I told him that President and Sister Nelson and President Eyring will be visiting us next week.]

That´s pretty dang cool, I would love to listen to them live.

Over here some crazy things have been happening. My companion had emergency transfers a couple of days ago and I only have one week in this area. So now my new companion and I need to find our way around and find out were all of the members of the ward live and everything. This is going to be a little tricky. But I'm pretty excited for the challange and I'm sure there will be miracles.

Anyway, love you guys, keep being awesome.
