Hello Family,

Great week in Catán. We had a great time running around the zone doing divisions and working hard. We are now entering the last week of the transfer and we´re hoping to survive another transfer meeting! We´ll see, the next email we´ll know who my next companion will be or if Elder pollock and I will continue rocking out in Catán.

We are very close to the baptism goal for this transfer with the baptismal dates for 25 and the goal is 26. In our area we lost a couple of baptismal dates due to the lack of church attendance but we had some excellent experiences anyways.

We went to the house of a recent convert and the sister who is not member who we are teaching to teach a lesson and we brought brownie mix to cook in their kitchen. It was excellent but the only problem was that we brought the brownie mix in a bag with the recipe to make a lemon cake and we didn't notice until the brownies were in the oven. It came out brownie lemon cake and was... interesting. It kind of had a weird texture but it tasted alright.

We all laughed.

I found out that I still haven't learned how to cook on the mission. I doubt I ever will.

This week we have 14 baptismal interviews to do and two meetings with the area president do we will be running around from now until next Tuesday. Ah yes, Elder Bowen the South America South Area President will be coming to our humble chapel in Catán 3 this Thursday for a meeting with three zones in the mission. We are very exited.

Even more exciting is that on Wednesday all the zone leaders have a meeting with Elder Bowen. I'm excited to hear what he has to say.

Well I hope I haven't bored you and that my email was inspiring. This is the work of the Lord and it is a blessing for me to be involved in it. Thanks for your prayers and I'm Praying for you, till next week....

Go USA!!
