Last week's letter

Hello all!!!
How is everyone?? Well this week has been reallly good and yes still very hard.  Well just to let you all know, I had an interview with President Watkins yesterday :)  It went really well and he was really impressed how much we are teaching and how the members are coming along.  Yes Mitch, I told President what you told me to tell him.  I told him that I am here to work, and to Light up Spain.  I also told him that if he needs a missionary that is willing to work, that I am that Missionary :) He told me thank you and we went on our way with the interview.  Well this week we also had 19 lessons.  Our investigators are doing so well!! I am so glad that they are really wanting to change their lives around for this.  I am so glad for the people who listen.  We have another investigator.  It was a member referral and she seems really nice.  I hope she wants to hear more after the 2nd lesson.  Well, as I said, our investigators are doing well.  Luis and Andrea are doing super good! Every lesson that we have had with them, he has cried.  He wants to be baptized so bad! I love it!!  :)  She is already a member and so is her family, but this is a really big step for him.  Diana and Benito are doing super well too!! On Sunday he spoke up during class and said a comment that he wasn´t a member, but he will be soon and that baptism is just the first step he needs to take.  He wants to go to the temple and do the work for his dad.  I am so proud of him.  I am so glad that the Lord has poured these blessings on us.  He has helped me out so much this past week with Spanish.  Our other investigators are also doing well.  Some are doing really well, but need a little help with some of their doubts, but it´s life and they want to make sure on this decision they are making. 
Well, today I got my residency card!  YAY!! I don´t need to bring my passport to get food anymore! :)  While we were going there, we had a great time.  When we got to Aluche metro stop we got off and saw a guy being held down by 3 gaurds and a girl yelling at him.  He tried to break free... bad idea.  I wanted to see a good fight but all I saw was a random guy take his head and slam it to the ground to help out the gaurds.  It was getting really intense so we stayed and watched him get slammed up against the wall.  Well after that I got my haircut.  It was much needed!  Well we went to this cheap place that did a nice job.  Well before I got it, the lady got a phone call.  Well she started yelling in Chinese.  She went outside and started yelling and yelling and saying all this Chinese words.  She then stopped, hung up and came over to me and said, what would you like.  I was freaked out because I didn´t want to get this messed up haircut because she is mad at some person.  But she did a good job :) 
Well this week I have been is Alma.  Wow I love the Book of Alma.  There is so much about missionary work and I knew that, but not to this level.  I now have a favorite chapter, Alma 26. Wow what a great chapter! I love 10-13 about boasting in God, it really hit me for some reason.  I was just thinking about it a lot this past week and this week also.  I also love Ammon.  Man was he a great missionary!  I love how he was saying everyone laughed at them for going up to the Lamanites, but he showed them and converted thousands upon thousands of people.  Love it!  Well that is about it for this week.  It has been really busy and we had a great day of contacting yesterday.  We had 9 people that wanted to hear more, so hopefully a couple of them really do want to hear this message that we have!  I hope that the trip went well!! I am not sure if you are still in Utah, but I hope that it was great!!  And Great Job Mitch!!! Way to go!! Muy guai!!
I love you all so much and I hope that you are doing great!!  By the way Dad, the other Elders in the Piso are really hard workers, they are really good.  Well all get along really well and we both have great investigators.  They just had a baptism last week and it went so good!  Well I love you all!

Love your favorite Elder,
