So, guess what? Im in a different area now. Ya, they took both my companion and I out of Manzanilla. Not sure why. I hadnt even been there for more than one complete transfer and now were going to have to hope the new Elders can find our investigators and figure out the area using only the area book.

Now Im in Torjadores and Manatiales (two wards). I didnt really want to leave. I had some good friends there, the bishop finally called a ward mission leader, and we were just starting to pick up some more investigators. In fact, just this week Elder Lira and I were teaching this couple and right there during the lesson we got down on our knees and the wife offered a prayer to know whether our message and the Book of Mormon were true and both she and her husband received the confirmation from the Holy Ghost that they were. And they have been Catholic all there lives. In fact, the husband served as a missionary for the Catholic Church at one point in his life. It was an awesome lesson to say the least.

However, my new companion seems pretty cool. His name is Elder Huss. Hes from Ogden. And, the area, well, I have only met a few people. We just changed today. So, we havent taught anyone yet. But today was the first time I went inside a full size mall in Mexico. It was weird. This area is a lot nicer in terms of that kind of stuff compared with Manzanilla, or so it seems.

Thanks for the information on the classes. Im going to investigate it further. I think it would be cool to get something like that going.

No, I wasnt the one to baptize Fabian nor Ivan. They both had uncles who were members that baptized them.

I want to send you guys pictures, but I havent been able to find an adapter for my memory card. Most of the computers here have a USB port but no drive for camera memory cards.

I was able to copy Amys songs to my ipod. WOW! HOLY COW! Tell Amy that she is an AMAZING SINGER! I couldnt believe it. I love the CD. Have you listened to it. Ask her if she composed the piano arrangements as well.

Even if no one plays the piano you should keep it tuned. Otherwise, it will be very hard to tune well later and will never sound as good as it could have.

I love you,

Brett
