Chugging Along 3/9/09

Hey fam,

No, I shouldn't have problems opening up attachments here, send me photos! As soon as I get a cable, I will send some your way. But I was using Elder Faber's, but now he's gone. I heard the big mail strike was back in December, but they have strikes pretty much every day. So don't worry about it, it is normal. Two packages should be fine.

Good to hear that West High finally won something... I'm so proud! :P And Corry has a job, good to hear. I can't wait to hear how his first week went!

Waiting for pics of Dad's graduation already, even though it is a couple of months away. I'm sure Dad can't wait either! Sorry the ESLC is feeling the pinch of Holly's baby... I hope it all works out though! And how is our baby doing? She sounds SOOO cute! I talk about her all the time here!

Call the Sandstroms for me and send them my love, I hope Jessa is all better!

My companion got Carolina wet Saturday, so that's my first baptism in the area! John and Stephanie came to church, so that's one step closer to baptism. But they still need to get married, quit smoking, and keep their appointments! It seems like we can find them at any hour of any day, except for our appointments! Fa... I'm not sure if I told you about the Borges family. It has been 11 years since they came to church, and they just showed up out of the blue 3 weeks ago! So now we are teaching the two kids, 11 and 15 years old who aren't baptized, and I am hoping they can still come to church, because the 11 year old plays soccer every saturday, but they just changed the schedule to sunday evenings, right during church! Soccer is huge here, huge enough to keep them from coming to church!

Yup, my MTC buddies made it here in one piece! Elder Bennett is in my Zone, companions with Elder McKell, one of our zone leaders. They are just tearing it up! I'm hoping to see more of them in our zone conference tomorrow, which is all of Canelones, Florida, and Durazno.

MOM NOTE: He finished the letter in Spanish for Dad, but I haven't had time to translate it to see if it needs to be here. If it is not personal, I'll publish to the blog later!
