17 October 2009--¡¡¡¡¡Bautismo hoy día!!!!!!!

Wow it has been an awesome day. This morning Elder Cristofferson came to the CCM, and we were all there for a missionary conference. It is so amazing to hear an apostle of the Lord speak. It was cool because Richard Edgely of the presiding bishopric was there, and also L Whitney Clayton of the presidency of the 70. I could feel the spirit so strongly listening to each of them speak, and it just makes me so happy to have the opportunidad to hear them. We played soccer in the morning too, so the day has just gone awesome. Then to top it all of we are going to have a baptism tonight at 6. I actually have to go check if the font is full pretty soon, but things are just going great. We had to change the chapel that we are doing the baptism because Elder Cristofferson is going to be giving a training to all the area 70’s and mission presidents in our chapel. Its crazy how many church leaders are always around here. Elder Marcus B. Nash assists our ward every week, and he is always asking me and Elder Mera how the work is going. You got to love La Molina, its really weird compared to how my mission has been before, most of the people have their own car, and everyone has nice houses with TV’s, couches, and some even have carpet. Its pretty crazy, but the majority of the people in the area are strong catholics that usually reject us defrente. So working through the members is so important. We actually had an investigator and her son come with a member Sunday. We contacted the family that night, and they really enjoyed the message, and you could really feel the spirit strongly as we were teaching. When we went back the whole family had read the chapter we had left them, and had prayed, and each of them had a different experience, but all of the felt the spirit differently as the read the Book of Mormon and prayed. They are an awesome family, and we are going to be working way hard with them to challenge them for baptism.
Well now for your questions mom. First my clothes are still holding out great, my pants seem a little shorter than they were before. I really think I have actually grown a little bit while I have been down here! So maybe Andrew won’t catch me just yet. My first pair of shoes are still going strong, I’m going to buy a new pair of inserts though. The inserts I have split in half, and are completely destroyed. At least it looks like we are walking hard  I am feeling really healthy right now, I have been putting some good runs down in the morning, and I’m keeping track of all my splits. Pushups, situps, I’m just feeling great. I pretty much never get sick, at times we eat some bad food or something, and that puts me in the bathroom for a while, but I think my body is used to everything we eat by now. The food is amazing, and my last pensionista said she is going to send me a book of recipes too I don’t plan on cooking them, but I’m sure you would make them amazingly mom  So everything is just going great. The office is a little stressful at times, but we learn from our mistakes, and go forward with it.
I was so happy to read you letters too. Steph and Andrew are doing awesome in swimming!! Steph, I’m not going to lie, but I laughed pretty hard when I heard you threw up in the pool, and they had to postpone the meet for like 20 min. That makes me so happy though, I love to see people throw up when they finish, it means they are working hard! That’s what I’m talking about!! Andrew, what has gotten into you! I didn’t hit a 1:12 until like the end of sophomore year! Keep working hard, and you are going to slaughter all of my times. Stick with backstroke though, it is way better then breastroke  Keep up that 4.0 Jen, always remember J-pride, you gotta represent! Sounds like the cello lessons are going great too. Allison sounds like your running and swimming too. Way to go, we are going to have to hit up a few triathalons when I get home too. Dad, sounds like the new job is awesome. I love to hear it when everyone is having success. Thanks for all your letters mom, I really love hearing from you. Sounds like things at school are going great, keep up the good work.
Just want to apologize to everyone for not writing, I don’t think I have written a letter in over a month. I think our p-days are going to start being a little calmer though, hopefully. We have been working hard, but I promise I’m going to start writing again. Thanks for being so awesome, and I love you all. Thanks for your prayers, we can always use them. I’m always praying for you too. Nos vemos!! Chow!
Love, Elder Lee
