I´ve had some of the baconaise, it´s good but I really haven´t had much time to eat it. But thank you. As for the other questions, I never did find my sweater. I can´t find one that I really can use here yet either. But wait before you send me one. I have the other one.
Changes were today but I do not have my companion yet. I will pick him up tomorrow. He will be fresh from the MTC and I will be training him the next six weeks. I am excited and hope everything goes well.
As for the investigators, we didn´t have any baptisms. The one that was going to be baptised drank tea during the last week and then didn´t show up to church yesterday. I don´t think he will be baptised this week even though he is programmed to be. I don´t want to baptise someone that is just going to end up inactive the next week. But we will see.
As for other investigators, we have a few but many of them just tend to stop progressing when they have to go to church. It can be frustrating; but you can´t do too much about it.
The previous baptisms as far as I know are doing well. One is doing excellent and I met up with him two and a half months later by the temple. I felt so happy to see him doing so well. The gospel truly has the power to convert people and change them. It is such a joy.
My mission already feels complete for bringing just a few into the fold of God. Well I am doing well and looking forward to what the future will bring. I love you all and am excited to see how much everyone is progressing.

Everyone is feeling well, more or less. From my zone two have gone home for health problems these last weeks, including my companion.
Today is the end of the transfer. My new companion is Elder Burton. That's all I know. He comes fresh from the MTC tomorrow, which means I am training this change. I am excited about this chance and hope for the miracles that are sure to follow. I have met the new mission president and he is amazing. Filled with the Spirit and is leading us to greater hieghts. I am truly grateful for all that I have and hope that every one of you continues to enjoy life and go well.
As for me, things like "A Journey of Faith" don´t so much build my testimony as just give evidences of the truth. The true power of the book isn´t just to know that it is true, but to read and study it. To feel the spirit of the book and act upon what you learn is when the true testimony of pure knowledge can come. Physical evidences can be helpful, but the spiritual evidences are far more lasting and the basis of true testimony.
Well I will write more next week. Oh, and before I forget President Laycock served in Buenos Aires Sur as well.
I love you and am grateful for all that you have done.
