That´s great to hear that Eric is going on a mission. Chiuaua Mexico. I´m not sure how to spell it either but I´m sure he is going to have fun. That is great to hear that Marc got in to BYU. Sometimes the trial of faith takes longer than we would like it too.

As for me the President gave me the okay with the scholarship. He said he would send a letter of recomendation and everything. I am also happy to hear that Caleb had a good start already. It´s almost hard to believe that Caleb is already in Junior High.

As for my side of things, it was a good week. We got a lot done and had success. We have around four people that have already decided on getting baptised and several more in the process. Fabian wasn´t able to come to Church so he´ll have to wait till next month, but this coming Sunday we may have a baptism still. The couple that need to get married still need to get married. Nothing really has changed recently but we are trying to work with them. Just the same I hope they will come around.

As for some experiences, well the best one was probably with a less active lady. She was from farther north and had recently gone through a period of great stress and anxiety. The problem was that she had gone to therapy and the therapists had told her some crazy stuff. When she talked to us she said that she believed wholly in reincarnation and that she was in her seventh life already and that there are these "Big Brothers" that live in UFO´s above us in the sky, and that when Jesus Christ ascended into the sky he was brought up in a UFO. It was crazy. But we explained to her the gospel and its principles and in the end she accepted the message and changed completely. It felt good to be able to help someone change and have a stronger testimony in Christ.

Every day I stregnthen my testimony and learn more. I am grateful to be here and I am also grateful for all you have done for me. I hope that you are all happy and enjoying life. I love you all and pray that you are all right.
