Dear Family,

So i forgot to write this last week so I`ll write it first. I was wondering if you remembered the last time that the 4th of July was on a Sunday. If you dont lets see if ¨play ball!!!¨ freshens your memory. I know im a legend.

So its kind of hard to believe the whole Lebron, Bosh and wade on one team thing so you might need to verify that for me. Also i heard Utah is now in the Pac-10. What happend with that?

Hna Alvarado is in the states for surgery but thats really all that i know. Elder Falabela of the 70 is in charge of our mission right now. I was also wondering if mom and dad have gotten my letters and if the read my letter to the ward and or if i should just not write them???

It sounds like things are going well back home. The football picture of heaths team looks good but they all look skinny!!! haha work harder. Tell people that i say hi when you see them.

Things are really really good here. We have alot of people that are really really close to getting baptized but satan is working really hard so that they dont.

We have one guy Elfido who has been going to church for almost 2 months now has prayed and has a testimony of the church. Everytime we go by he is reading a pamphlet or the book of mormon. He says he will always go to church and wants to get baptized but for some reason he`s not doing it. Hes gotten married stopped drinkin and stopped smoking and now just drinks a little coffee but i think he does it just so that he cant get baptized right now. We had a good talk with him on sunday and he said we`ll talk more about what his concerns are the next time we visit him.

Then we have Aura and her family. They live over an hour away from the church and sometimes cant come b.c they cant afford it. She`s been twice though and loves the church but she says she`s already been baptized 2 times. I`ve tried lots of simple ways to teach that they dont count to God but shes been really brainwashed by other churches and i think is more scared of being jugded by them then by god.

Then we have Fransisco and Ofelia and their family. They are 4 to be baptized and 2 little kids. They are super sweet and practically teach them selves but cant get to church b.c they also live an hour away and cant pay the 20 quetzales ($2.50) to get to church. They want to get baptized but we have to figure how to help them get to church. they`ve gone once.

We also have some sweet families in san fransisco, whichi is a little closer. There are two families there (related to elfido) whose kids are always begging therir parents to let them go to church but there parents still wont go with them. One auder lets his three oldest kids go and loves studdying and reading but hasn`t gone to church yet. He`s 32 and has 7 kids! The other is Anival who has some of the coolest kids i`ve met but he hasn`t let them go to church with us yet. The little 6 year old Junior to us when he is 8 that he is going to be baptized a mormon. Hes a way cool little kid.

We are teaching alot of great people and families but im trying to figure out the way to get over the hump with them. I also need to stay focused on finding new families while still working with these ones.

I love being a missionary. Its the best thing ever. I actually have a pretty nice apartment and we live on the second level. We dont have hot water though. My shoes are doing good. It rains alot right now so they`re usally wet though. There is no place i would rather be right now then right here. I hope all is going well with you`ll and that you are growing as a family.

I love you all.

Love,

Elder Vincent
