HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So as you can see from the picture Nicolas got baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

It was SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That guy is seriously an AMAZING guy!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was SUPER happy after the baptism and the Branch was really supportive of him which was REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! It`s super cool too because Nicolas is the first investigator that I`ve seen from start to finish. We found him, taught him, and baptized him. All of my other baptisms I`ve come into them about halfway through the teaching so it was a pretty cool experience!!!!!!!! But Nicolas is going to be an AMAZING member of the church and is really going to help this branch progress and turn into a ward. It`s also really cool because from the first cita we had with him I knew he was going to get baptized. So I`m SUPER GLAD that I was able to be here to see him get baptized. 

But yeah everything here is going SUPER WELL!!!!!!!!!!!! Our investigators are progressing pretty nicely except for the fact that we have to move the fecha for Niko`s wife Angelica because she wasn`t able to come to church yesterday but she`ll get baptized soon. We started teaching a kid named Tito. I first met him when I got here but he then moved but now he`s back living with Claribell (he`s her nephew) So we`re teaching him and he has a fecha for this Saturday so we`re hoping that he`ll get baptized and we can end the change baptizing. 

Also big news!!!!!!!!! I don`t know if you remember but back in my second week my comp Meyer and I baptized an 18 year old kid named Jordan. Well anyways that kid has been a SUPER STRONG member of the church ever since he was baptized. On the blog from the mission there`s a picture of him baptizing one of his friends. But anyways I was talking to Meyer the other day on the phone because he goes home this week but anyways Jordan got his mission call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He`s going to El Salvador!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He leaves in December. It`s SUPER COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He`s SUPER excited about it and he`s going to be a GREAT missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That`s SUPER COOL that Cole`s going to be a missionary in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And today is his birthday!!!!!!!!!!!! I attached a picture for his birthday just in case he doesn`t see it on his email. 

But Elder Seegmiller, Elder Clarke, Elder Olivas, and I went golfing today for P-day and it was SUPER FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! We tried to find a flag that said 18 on it but the course here is only a 9 hole course. So no he`s not turning 9 but he`ll just need to do some quick math and double the 9 to make 18 :) Also, when you guys figure out Cole`s MTC mailbox address could you give it to me? I want to send him something and I need to send it now if it`s going to get to him before he leaves the MTC.

Anyways I`m SUPER GLAD that everything is going GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sending the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love seeing pictures of you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell everyone I said hi!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with this week. I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
