{One Of thOSe GooD MomEnTs}

Fam!
Ok sweet story to tell...first off thanks for all the emails and photos. the best photo had to be the one with lib and gracie! Laura seems to be kinda stuck on some problems but we`re still working with her. Daniel couldn`t come to church but he went to a valentine`s day activity on saturday and said he loved it! We definitely see progress in him. But the best experience we had this week was at church yesterday with Luis. we went to talk with his mom in the morning about what we had been teaching him and how she feels about it. She`s catholic...but she really supports him and she`s a really good person. So we went to church with luis yesterday...and the four missionaries in our branch all talked on missionary work. I talked about fellowshipping. Elder Hine`s talk was the best though cause he`s such a paiaso.
Anyway so Luis came up to us after the meeting and said `Hey Elders come here i want to tell you something`. He looked really happy! And then he started telling us that he had felt something incredible during the meeting! He said he couldn`t describe how happy he had felt and he said `can i get baptized on Saturday?`...hahaha uhhhh no. It was so amazing! So Elder Astleford...another missionary in our branch did the interview right there and he is going to be baptized!!! It was soooo cool! He looked so happy and the members were really excited for him!
It was for sure one of those good moments on the mission that make all the hard work pay off!
I love you guys and i`m super excited for this saturday! Pray that it all goes well! I honestly don`t know if ill have changes or not from Alcalde Diaz. It could go either way. I`ve been here since October so we`ll see what happens. Either way i`ll be happy. I love the members and the people in our area. They are really incredible!
Unfortunately i couldn`t get the disney card from lib haha i`ll try and open it again to see what happens. I`m excited to know if i`m going to have a neice or a nephew...a georgia or a james...so let me know!
the church is true!

Mom!/libby!
Happy Valentine`s Day! Here we call it `El Día de Amor y Amistad´ haha The Day of Love and Friendship`...that name is way too long. I hope things are good. I am doing well and happy here in the mission. Things are picking up in our area and the members are great. The panamanians really turn into your family while you`re a missionary. It`s cool to meet so many good people.
This week we`ve got a lot to do to get ready for the baptism...hopefully all goes well! I love you!
