Corto, pero dulce-Short but sweet

I was waiting until I got your letter to write you so this letter will be a little short! But your week sounds great!!! I feel like I really miss young men's right now!! But then I realize that I am in the mission and that I was kind of alone in young men's and then I think yeaaahhhh, Peru is a little better. ;) But I am so happy that the kids had a great time at Youth Conference and that they are looking for the miracles and tender mercies in their lives.

This week I had a huge tender mercy. Jxxxxx got baptized on Saturday!!!! Woo!!!!! It was amazing and it was one of the best baptisms I've been to. It was amazing. Practically the whole ward was there and they were all there to support him. His family doesn't support him at all and his mom doesn't want to listen to us so it is really hard and he felt really bad because none of his friends or family came to his baptism but we told him that every person there was his friend and family and he was like Really? they are there for me? Of course!!!! He really is a great kid. And right after his baptism he stayed with for the rest of the night as we went around visiting our investigators and he gave his testimony in every visit and it was the best thing ever.

Then on Sunday we went to pick him up for his confirmation and he came out of his house crying. I guess his mom didn't want to go and they got into a fight about it. But he came got confirmed and calmed right down. It was amazing to see the gift of the Holy ghost work in him to calm him down and help him out. And now he is out of a camping trip with the YSA! What a champ. I know that he will learn a bunch of stuff and receive even a stronger testimony from this trip. I am so happy for him.

And this week we have another baptism!!! A young man named Exxxxx is going to be baptized after waiting like three months. It will really be super cool. His family wants to get baptized too but are going to get married in September when the husband gets back from work. But it is super duper cool that this family is going to be baptized. They are the best. 

And I love that commission!!! I have a copy of it that I carry in my missionary manual. And mom you actually sent me the copy I have for my birthday in December! Maybe you should read the stuff you send me!! ;) But I am still waiting your package!!! I want to know what it is!!! Patience, just patience. 

Thank for your letter mom!!! I love you so much and I am so grateful for all your prayers and letters!!! (but I would like physical letters).

LES AMO CON TODO MI CORAZÓN!!!!!
