Hola! How is everyone? The reunion sounds like it is pretty intense, there is a lot of people there. Haileys baptism sounds like it went really well, that makes me so happy, i really wish i could have been there for that. That is so cool that kristi got married, and dad that is a really cool story, i can only imagine how that must of felt, sometimes the veil is pretty thin. I was tracting the other day, and grandpa popped into my head, and i just felt like he was proud of me, and that he was watching me. So that is very interesting that we both have felt him. The mission has been great so far, it has definitely been hard, that is why they call it missionary WORK, but all is well, it gets better and better every day. Going out and talking to people has made me realize how little spanish i know, and how hard i need to work, but every day it seems like i can understand more of what the people are saying. The spanish they are speaking is so much different here than in the dominican, i think they taught me the wrong language. But i like my companion, elder contreras, he is super nice, and works really hard. It is just difficult because his english is not the best, so there is deffinitely a little lagnuage barrier between us, but hopefully that will end soon. All is well, we have some investigators that we are going to ask to be baptized this week, so i will be praying hard all week, and hopefully they except. Well i dont have much time, so i love you all, and i hope you are doing well. The church is growing here in Puerto Rico, slowly, but it is growing. The Church is true, we need to do all that we can to spread this knowledge with everyone, you dont have to be called to serve a mission to be a missionary, infact most of missionary work should be done by members. The only reason we have missionaries is to help the members. SO DO YOUR PART, and share your testimony, dont hold it in. I love you all, and i look forward to reading you emails next week.
