To answere your question mom, yes Elder Mayo is my Zone Leader and no Elder Bryce isnt in my ward but is in my district.
Ok
so i forgot to mention this about my appartment......we have a
cochroach problem. They live in our walls.... and in one of our kitchen
drawers. They are pretty gross, i havent seen any giant ones yet, they
are all about the size of a nickel.
This week was pretty sweet and pretty hectic at the end. We were
teaching this man Enrigue, and he had a baptizmal date set for yesterday
(sunday). I believe i have mentioned him a little bit in my past
letter. Anyways he is a really awesome guy who believe in the Book of
Mormon and that God has given us a Prophet in this day and that he needs
to be baptized but everytime we talked to him about baptizm he would
tell us that he still doesnt feel repented of his sins and that he needs
a little more time to mejorar su vida (better his life) before baptizm.
We told him that if he really has a desire to change his life and live
the gospel then he is ready. But we also told him to pray about it and
ask Heavenly Father if he is ready and if he sould be baptized this
week. Well we came back the next day and his whole personality seemed to
have changed, he seemed a lot more lively, happy, and pleased with
life. He then told us that he prayed and feels completely ready for
baptizm and wants to be baptized this week.
Well sunday (day of his baptizm) came around and we all showed up
at the church at the same time to find that someone had drained the
baptizmal font of all the water.....Nooooooo!!!!! We had one hour to
fill the font and hold the baptizmal serivice before our sacrament
meeting. We (4 of us missionaries, 2 of which were from the ward before
us) did everything we could to fill it as fast as possible. Idk if you
know what a Garrafont is, but its like a giant water bucket/thing that
holds there DRINKABLE water. Well we even filling those up with an
outside hose and then dumping it in the font. Well 45 mins after we had
it filled and i directed the baptizmal service and my companion baptized
him. He was then later confirmed and recieve the Espiritu Santo in
sacrament meeting. He was really happy that day :) and so was I. In the
picture he is the guy right next to me. The guy next to my companion is
his step-son who is a member.
Now about Tatiana who I also mentioned in my before letter. She
went to the baptizmal service and she said she would like to be baptized
and asked me would she needs to do to be baptized and well like it says
in the Bible (Acts 8:36-39) all you need is to believe in Jesus Christ
as our savior and have a desire to be baptized. Tatiana is really
awesome, we are going back to teach her tomorrow and we are going to
make this lesson really sweet!
Well Love you all!

Oh

[From email to his dad]
Hey
Im doing really well.
No i havent seen that movie but
hey if the twins dont have a chance welll i hope the best for the As
this year. And thats awesome that you get to go down to Cali and visit
Granddad, tell him hello for me and tell me how hes doing.
My spanish is pretty good, my biggest problem is when people talk
quietly or dont speak clearly. But yeah i can hold conversation with just
about anyone and i can keep up with conversations too. Its not a whole
lot different as senor companion but i do like it. And the ward is
pretty cool, i dont know the members all too well still but those that i
do know seem pretty cool. As a smaller ward i find that me and my
companion are the only ones that wear suit coats to church haha. I have
been to the boarder wall once but the other side doesnt look too
interesting, i can only really see open area and then hills. But yeah we
are still using lots off taxis.
It feels wierd that it was a whole year ago that its been more then a year sence ive been to Rex.
Well Love you
Bye
Elder Evans
