Hey you guys!! This was a GREAT week!!! don´t worry, Inussa was baptized. he is such a lil stud muffin.  Inussa was confirmed and it was so special! Elder Pizarro, our district leader, confirmed him and we couldn't hear much, but we did hear him say A LEADER IN THE CHURCH. oh my goodness its so true. its amazing to see the progress of inussa, and each of our investigators, because they are so much closer to Jesucristo y nuestro Padre Celestial. Inussa pretty much gave us a talk how he doesn't like sunday school because everyone say's, well, i think this or that....hahaa he said, ''no! not what you think! that doesn't matter!! *slaps the bible and book of mormon* its what matters in here!''

oh inussa. my heart gets all warm like when i think of him. oh and because the ward mission leader decided not to show up at inussa´s baptism, we started the font and we may have flooded the womens bathroom and the mothers room.

Its amazing the affects of the Spirit, especially at baptisms. we had 2 investigators show up and, they knowing inussa, it was so much sweeter for them seeing an example of a friend. one of those investigators, Gheorghe from Romania, is getting baptized this saturday at 10 am :) we are very excited for him. he´s a bit of an odd ball. his answers to everything is, ´´Con el poder de Dios...Con FE...necesita el espíritu, sabes?!´´ and he usually screams it all. he´s quite loud. and he always, ALWAYS ends his prayers as ´´en el nombre de padre, hijo y espíritu santo...´´ hahaa he´s orthodox. he cracks me up.

oh so i made chocolate chip cake!! it turned out quite good except i forgot salt and to sprinkle sugar on top. 

We had a ward talent show on saturday! It was supposed to start at 5 so naturally it started at 630. the B6 hermanas (4) sang a song and then we later danced the macarena with Inussa, juan luis (the next mission leader), and another investigator, Adelson. IT. WAS. SWEET. i think some people video taped it. we didn´t have the music so we screamed it, ´´duh duh duh duh-duh-duh duh-duh-duh duh duh duh-duh-duh (etc) EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH MACARENA!!!!´´ and Hermana Stepp played the harmonica. 

its great reading the letters from yáll!! i wish i had time to write everyone, i barely have time to write my own brothers y sister in law! (sorry ben and sasha!) but i´m so glad everyone is doing great. I am so happy to be serving a mission, SO HAPPY. i don´t want to change anything. i miss you guys! love you mucho. take care!

loves y hugs.
