Oi familia!
That sounds like a pretty crazy week. Dallin got his mission call! WHEWW! Colorado sounds like a great place.
This week was awesome. We had the baptism of Ricardo. Ricardo was a great investigator and I know he will be a great leader in the church some day. That baptism was a cool experience. His step son baptized him.
The branches here are starting to get stronger this last sunday there were about 60 people in church! Which is awesome.
One of the things I love doing now is family night. What a great oportunity we havd to invite others to the gospel. Family night is great because it does a couple of thing. It brings non members into the home of a member where the spirit resides, builds frendships, and gives the obvious oportunity to teach the message of the restaration. I challenge you guys this week to invite a family to family night and to invite the missionaries to give the message. Tell me how it goes in 2 weeks.
President in our meeting yesterday (thats why my pday is today) told us that we are alowwed to use "shappels" a gaucho hat;) it looks like a pioneer hat.
I have to go already;(
Até proximo
Bom noite familiar

Wut up my family!
This week was complete with great experiences. We found some investigators that have alot of problems, but all of them want to repent and change their lifes! There names are Junior, Lutiano and Lucas. If you guys could pray for them that would be great. They have problems with almost all of the commandments, but I think with prayer and their own faith, they will change.
This week the other companionship that we´re living with had a baptism. I had the opportunity to interview Rafeal for the baptism. It was a great thing for me. After the interview I felt that he was truly prepared. In the interview we talked about all of his doubts. He´s indicating that he has the desire to serve a mission.
We found out yesterday that one of the branches that i´m serving in will be closed. Alot of people are sad about this, but it also a great opportunity to renew the city. I think this will excite the members to help more with missionary work.
Ricardo accepted baptism! :) We marked January 21 and he is progressing great.
Thanks for all of your prayers!
Love,

Oi!
How´s the christmas hangover? (from all the candy and stuff) haha
Our Christmas was good, my companion and I both gave talks which went well, and after we went christmas caroling at a old persons home...Alot of the white people here are Nazis that immigrated here after WW2 and I think I talked to a real live Nazi there.haha He was way old.
We have a great investigator named Trinidade (means Trinity) that lives far from the actual city (you have to walk forever to get there) that seems to be really good. He´s a older guy who has alot of faith. Whenever we teach him he seems to have the gift to humbly accept our message with complete trust. He has a whole life of opinion and experience already but he still accepts truth as it is presented to him. I know that because of his humility that he´ll be baptized and that he´ll be genuily wiped clean of his sins. It made me think if I would do the same thing at the age that he has. I think that I (and everyone) could work a little harder at being humble.
I hope everything is going well at home and I can´t wait till the next call on mothers day.
