5 September 2009--!Bautismo hoy dia!

Well it has been an awesome week, and we are going to finish it with Johan's baptism tonight at 7:30. He is so excited, and couldn’t be more ready to make this covenant with God. He actually was interviewed by E’ Wilding, and then by President Leyva. It was a long interview, but he is ready and excited for his baptism tonight. He had some terrible problems with alcohol, and he is so ready to change his life around. He has invited tons of people and even went out and bought a bunch of new cloths for the baptism. Its going to be awesome. We also had our multi-zone conference 2 days ago, and it was amazing. I learned so much of how I can be better as a missionary. Working better with the leaders of the church, the friendship that is necessary between a companionship. We always need to think of how we can serve one another. There really aren’t any problems when everyone is trying to develop the christlike attributes. Its amazing how simple it is to be happy always. Be more like Christ. President also taught us how we can better our teachings, and how the spirit is essencial or we might as well just not teach at all. It was a really powerful conference. It was way cool because I got to see a ton of my old companions too. My papa in the mission E’ Lima was there, and it was really awesome to see him. He is really an amazing friend. E’ Maldonado, E’ Guillen, and E’ Guttierez all my friends from back in Pichanaki and it was great remembering the good times there. All of our converses are doing really well, and it was really great to here. Its interesting being in the awesome because I get to be communicating with all of the Elders a lot more. Elder Goede is going to be leaving soon, and that’s going to leave me alone in the finance office, but he has trained me really well, and I feel really comfortable with everything going on. I just really feel lucky for the opportunity to work in finances, all I’ve heard is good stuff about people who were financiero’s in their missions. I think it is good experience for me.
It sounds like everything is going so great at home, and you guys don’t know how happy it makes me to hear all the good you are all doing. I have a hard time believing that Allison is already going to be entering graduate school, that’s awesome she is taking a scuba diving class though. I was reading a few dear Elders from Steph and it hit me that she is a senior in high school now! Holy cow, I can’t believe it, and its crazy to think we’ll be hitting up SUU together next August. The projects Andrew is doing in his woods class sound awesome. You are going to have to send a few pictures of your projects. How is Jen doing with school, and the cello lessons, and everything else. I can’t wait to see the new yard too, its sounding amazing. Sounds like everything is going well in Dad’s work too. Keep up the good work with your class mom, sounds like you always have the luck of getting a few problem kids, but just keep up the good work. You’ve really learned how to handle them after so much experience with them. Toby got his mission call to Columbus, Ohio! That is awesome. I really need to get better at my letter writing to everyone. Its so good to hear that Cecily is doing so well. I’m glad she is stopping by the house, and keeping in touch with everyone. I can’t believe she is going to be getting her mission call soon! Good times, waiting for the mission call. Sounds like Cam is doing awesome with the running still. I told him he had to write me when he broke the 4 minute mile, and I haven’t heard from him yet :( I’m interested to see what his times are at right now. Oh and Cassie wrote me too, I’m sure she is just as excited as ever to have Shay coming home. Shay sounds like he is doing just awesome, its just hard to believe his is done in a month! Well it is always just amazing to get letters from everyone, and I really want to apologize for being such a bad letter writer, but I’m going to keep trying to be better. Thanks for everything, I love you guys so much. ¡Un gran abrazo para todos!
Love, Elder Lee
