Happy New Year, Week 25

Well one christmas down one more to go "hearin" Oklahoma!!!  

It was awesome to hear from all of you this week expecially my brothers!!  boy voices change!! hahah 

Thanks for all of the presents!  especially for my comp!  

We became pretty good friends during the week and now we are going to go work and teach!  

Probally the most interesting thing that happened this week was well, first I was able to baptize Josep Lopez--he is the son of Jenny Lopez (the one that I baptized 2 weeks ago.  It a very cool experience!!!  

Well earlier that day me and elder guzman were out working and we were just locking up our bikes and then this guy with long flowing hair and some crazy modified bike... it was like a chopper motorcycle but you peddle it.  

We talked to him for a while and he was super nice and he asked if our church ever had dinners and we were like yeah we have one tonight!  He was like ok sounds good.   Well we just finished praying at the fiesta and they walk in.  ME and Elder Guzman were just like oooooooo noooooooo hahaha they actually came.   We then talked to them for a really long time.   Well the night continued on, we talked more and more then... he asked the classic baptist question why do you have the title ELDER?? YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO WEAR THAT TITLE/ YOU HAVE TO HAVE A WIFE TO BE AN ELDER!  Well we exchanged back and forth for a while and then we figured it best if we got this guy out of the fiesta haha it was funny but you will have to hear the whole story when I get home because the morning after I talked in the recorder for 15 minutes, so it was pretty good haha well there wasn't a lot that happened this week that I didn't talk about on the phone.

But I hope that you all have a very good new year!!
