Hey hows it going guys this week was so awesome we had our first baptism!!!! It was such an awesome experience. We have another one this next saturday with this girl named Heyli. She is the coolest person. She's 21 and has 2 kids. We just started teaching her last week and she's already in mosiah in the book of mormon. She was prepared for us because we have literally done nothing except teach her some lessons. I know that whe will be baptized next week she is so strong.

Anyways that's so cool to hear about Ashton's football game he is such a stud. Tell him to keep it up. It's so strange to think of it being cold because it is never cold here in cañas. We typically teach about10 lessons a week but we would really like to get that up. And my first package got to me but i'm just waiting on the next one thank you guys so much for the packages. Oh ya and i just have on thing to ask. If you guys could send me the scores of the eagles game with some stats and the game analysis that would be awesome.

General conference was the best it is just so much more spiritual for me out here and just a whole new meaning to it when i listened to the talks. And the announcement about the new ages that's so sick!! There's going to be so many more missionaries coming out in the next year! And we need all we can get there are so many places even in costa rica that don't have missionaries. Elder Eyrings talks and Elder Bowen of the seventy oh and Elder Holland were some of my favorite talks. But i loved all of them so much.

Um our lunch lady is doing fantastic she is such a sweet lady. And then another lady in our branch does our laundry every week which is such a blessing because it would be awful to clean all of our clothes by hand every p day. Our district leader lives in our house so he does divisions with us about every 3 weeks so ya. But anyways tell everyone that i love them and that i miss them ton's but that i'm lovin it out here so they'll just have to wait to see me in 2 months!

Love you guys!
