Hola everybody. Sorry it has been a while since I have written. I'll be honest. We really don't have a whole lot of time on our P days anymore and I am also getting kind of lazy about emailing. But I have the personal goal to be better!

These past two weeks have been awesome. We were able to see 2 of our investigators be baptized and that is always a happy experience.

juan was baptized two weeks ago. His whole story is a straight miracle. We were exploring one end of our area that we hardly ever go to in hopes of finding some more people to teach out there. Well we had no luck. That whole side is pretty rich so they didn't want anything from us. We were walking back and we got a text about a guy named Juan who wanted to meet with the missionaries. First miracle: He lived on the exact street that we were walking on so we found his house in about 30 seconds. Second miracle: He was home and was super excited when he saw us. Third miracle, He had gotten a Book of Mormon when he visited his wife in Veracruz a month ago and was already reading in Jacob 5. He said he knows that it is true and that he wanted to be baptized. He willing gave up drinking wine and working on Sundays like no problem and hasn't missed a sunday since. He is super awesome. He is also  75 years old but acts like he is like 17. He told us that he locked the keys in his house and had to climb to the second story of his apartment complex to get in. He also did a 4 days fast last week. We didn't teach hime that. In fact, when he told us he was going to fast for 4 days we told him that he was probably going to die and that it wasn't a good idea. He did it anyways. however, at church he told us that he ate 10 raisins for breakfast so that was reassuring.

Daniel was also baptized this last saturday. Daniel is from Minnesota and is so awesome. We taught him everything in English and it was actually pretty weird. His wife understands English and he understands Spanish so he just talks to her in English and she replies in Spanish and they get along great. they have a pretty great relationship. We did half of the baptismal service in English and it was a little weird. We sung the hymns and I baptized him in English. It was fun. He is moving back to minnesota this week so we got it all done just in time. He wanted to be baptized here so that the rest of his relatives and evrybody could be here.

The work is going great here. I am loving Mexico City more and more every day.

Have a great week!
