Hey!Well i don't have too much to say this week.. my comps knee has gotten worse and worse.. Tues wed and Thurs we went to the doctor everyday.. we also went again today and that's why i am not email until now.. its like a ball by his knee and its purple now.. it doesn't look good.. they have to open it up though to see if its just an infection or whats going on.. please pray for him.. we will probably be going to the hospital sometime this week so they can do the surgery and if all goes well he could be better in about two weeks but if not he might have to go home.. are baptisms are still coming a long good.. we had challenges though with maria fernanda though.. they still don't have there papers but supposedly today they went to get them and they should be good for maybe this sat or if not the next.. and Cristian should be a for sure baptism the 26th.. he is a smart kid and their family is coming every Sunday and maybe mas adelante the dad will be baptized.. ha ha dang like more in the future he could be.. last Sunday or two weeks ago i went up with one of their sons to bear his testimony.. he stood up and sat down like 4 times cause he was scared.. i went up with him and he bore his testimony for the first time.. it was tight and cool to be able to help him..

the independence day of guat is wed.. there will be a lot of parades and a torch running thing.. i don't know how much i will get to see or do just cause my comp is suppose to rest and not walk at all.. but also i bought a camera that's nice.. the member jacked mine and wont answer phone calls or anything.. he is a mage but yeah.. if somehow i get the other one back i will try and sell it.. i will send some cools pics next week i promise.. it was really cool to see Kevin and hear about whats hes doing.. also the food and snacks weren't too bad either.. ha ha tomorrow he heads back but it was fun to talk to him for a bit about Guatemala.. so this week i have been in a bus for way to long and in the house a lot too... we still went out and worked a little bit but yeah.. its not fun sitting in the house but i don't really have a choice.. please pray for my comp though and for the baptisms that we have coming up.. y'all know just as when people want to something good Satan does everything he can to put obstacles in their ways.. family concerns and also worries about rings for the wedding and food for example for maria fernanda and Sergio.. but yeah.. well i am glad to hear that everyone is doing well... i know that we have problems sometimes in our lives but i know that we accepted them in the pre mortal life because we knew that we could push through them when they came into our lives.. we just need to stay strong and know that its for our own benefit.. also when we think we have problems we should just look around.. somebody is always worse off then us.. i like in dc when Jose Smith :P was in the Carthage jail.. if the gates of hell shall open up against you it shall be for your own good or something like that.. he suffered a ton to bring to pass the restoration of this church and even more then him.. Jesus Christ died so that we could over come the physical death and suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane so that would could be freed of our sins if we only do our little part of asking for forgiveness and having faith in him.. well i got to go but i love y'all a lot and y'all are in my prayers. thanks for everything and stay strong and push forward when problems enter yalls lives!! Everything is possible with God on our side!
