Well, that sounds like an eventful last week. I hope you can get things fixed quick. What are you going to do with the trailer? As for myself I haven´t gotten my flight information yet. Perhaps they don´t want ot send it yet to me. I imagine the plane is coming in the morning. That may just be the longest day of my life. As for the sector things are rapidly improving. We have one kid that wants to get baptised and severall others that are interested. There was really no work leftover from before when I got here, but with some we are starting up again and finding others. We are hoping for several that they can begin to progress. Yesterday we got to teach a Catholic lady that had previously been looking for a Church and decided to in the end stay with the Catholic Church. She understood the message well in the end, but still didn´t really want to accept. The amazing thing is the Spirit really seemed to take over. I thought I butchered everything but she understood just the same, and now we are hoping that she will pray and ask about the Church of Christ. She has prayed before and received comfort and guidance through the Spirit, so she is no stranger to the way of receiving an answer about the Church. I felt really good after the lesson. I am grateful for the Spirit and am learning how to take full advantage of its power. He really does the work, far better than we ever could. Well, I love you all and pray that you continue to have fun and be protected.

First of all for Mother´s day this time we are going to need to be in the house of a member family. We actually don´t know what family right now as we got the information about that today. Also, I just had changes today. I have a new companion Elder Jacobs and I´m in a new ward. That also makes it difficult for the thing with Robert, because I don´t know where this chapel is at all. I´ve never been there. As for the call later this week we are going to figure out who you can call and the times and the phone number and give it to you. It should be in the afternoon, like 4 or so your time.
As for the rest of life I´m in a new sector today with a new comp. I am looking forward to seeing what we can do to bring about the work. As for this last week Fabian was confirmed and received the priesthood. He is doing great and should be going this Tuesday to the Temple to do baptisms for the dead. As for the other family they are doing well too, except for this last week the mom´s boyfriend was really drunk and it seems he gets drunk just about every day. There are some difficulties there but we are moving along. I really hope that they keep progressing. A good experience from this last week would be we got to paint a room for a couple of somewhat less-active members which was great. It was fun and the room looked much better afterward. More than that I don´t know. There was a bad experience. On Saturday we had a zone activity and one of the Elders that is leaving today lost his camera. Better said someone stole it. That was an interesting experience that I will have to tell you later. Well, I love you all and am grateful for your prayers and support. I am happy and having fun and looking forward to what the future has to bring. Have fun, be happy, and don´t doubt anything!
