6 March 2010--Hola!

We had another great week down here in La Molina.  We had the baptisms of Reuben and Krishna, and they just went great  We had a lot of members there to help support them, and they are really excited.  We have been working hard with Suzanne and Ceasar, and they really want to follow this gospel.  They even accepted the challenge to be baptized, the problem for the hna Suzanne is the word of wisdom.  She has smoked for quite a long time, and we are trying to help her quit.  I know with the Lord´s help she can do it.  We also have a kid named Johnny who is the cousin of the hna Ambar, who just recently was baptized.  
We taught him how to pray the other night, and we asked him to give the closing prayer.  He was pretty nervous, and really didn’t want to do it at first, but he finally did.  Then when we arrived to teach him another lesson, we asked if he would give the closing prayer and he just gave it with a ton of confidence.  He had been practicing, and now he is just way excited.  When we went to leave, he asked us when we were going to return before we could even make the appointment.  We also went over with Jorge, and his testimony was so powerful, as always.  I love going around teaching with recent converts because they can share about their conversion which was so recent.  So we are really excited to be working with Johnny too. 

Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to the temple, and it was just an amazing experience.  I really wish we could go every week, especially since we pass the temple about 10 times a day.  They only allow once every change though, so I guess we’ll just have to live.  Its really great how much you learn when you go through a session, and I always come out of the temple knowing exactly what I need to do better in my life, and really how I can do it.  It is just a wonderful opportunity. 
Other than that nothing too exciting happened this week.  We had a service project in the pensionista´s house.  They are going to re-do the second level of their house, so we were helping take stuff down, and a little bit of destruccion.  It reminded me of the good old days, working with dad in the other houses, and I realized how much I really love doing that kind of work.  That is definitely something I want to keep doing.  Dad, we are going to have to do the business you were talking about, renovating homes. 

Well that’s just about it for this week.  Next week is the last week of the changes.  Next change ‘my son’ is going to be coming too!  I’ll be training the new financiero.  Its going to be a good time.  Love you guys, and thanks for always writing.  Talk to you next week!

Love,

Elder Lee

Happy birthday Mom, and uncle Nate!!
