Well Hello Guys


May 28, 2012

Well, hello guys :)  How are you all???  Wow, I’ve had such a CRAZYYYYYY week.  Really it’s so nuts.  Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the Sr. comps, District leaders and Zone leaders all had to travel to Guayaquil.  We had to wake up at 4:30 every morning and be there on time because of all the busses and taxis we had to take but they were such great meetings and we all learned soooo much.  It’s so cool but you guys know when you work and don’t sleep your body gets weak and sick.  I’m just barely getting over a little cold but it will be gone soon.  My comp and a recent convert that has the priesthood
gave me a blessing and I’m feeling great today:).
 We had a good turnout yesterday at church so I’m pretty sure that we are going to have baptisms on the 9th.  Two girls, Yomida age 16 and her cousin Ericka, 18 years old.  Ericka’s Mom is a less active member and we taught her daughter and her nieces and they all want to get baptized.  I’m so stoked, they only have to go to church this Sunday and they are all set.  They have changed 150%.  Ericka had a tongue ring and lip piercing and things like that and she’s taken them out and loves the Young Women’s and all the love that is in the church.  Something these girls have been searching for a long time, I’m sure.  I’m so happy for them.  They are good girls and they are reading like crazy the Book of Mormon.  It makes me so happy.  We are teaching a man that is 21 years old and he’s a marine.  He is so awesome.  We walked past his house Saturday night just to say hi and see if he was reading and he asked “do you have time to share something with me right now?”  THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!!  People never ask us to share with them.  He’s got his baptism date for the 23rd of June.  My one year mark!!  What a great present for my one year mark.  He also has a little sister Adriana, who is 9 years old and she wants to get baptized with her brother.  Wow, it’s so cool.  This week has been incredibly tiring but at the same time, we’ve received so many blessings for being obedient.
            My card finally came in the mail.  Thank you.
            I also have some bad news….it hasn’t happened yet but I’m pretty sure my camera might die soon.  Lines have been coming across the screen lately.  I don’t know what it is but there are places to fix things like that here so I will take it in to see what they can do, but I will wait it out until I really have to buy a new one.  It’s held out a month so far so maybe I can get it go to longer.  Also, a guy from our ward is trying to hook us up with some really nice work boot style shoes with metal toes.  I don’t really need metal toes but they are strong and nice.  He’s showed us a pair that he has had for 2 years and they are still holding up.  He works in some pretty rough stuff.  They only cost $25 because his own company has made them for the workers.  He is going to try to get us a pair.  My shoes are still holding up pretty good though so we’ll see.
            Gosh the time is flying past, guys.  I can’t believe it.  I love you alllll sooo much.  I will talk to you in a short week more.
                                                                                                I Love you,
                                                                                                Love Elder Profaizer
