Dear Mom,

How is everything going back home? Is it going to snow again this week?? haha. How are you handling the end of the school? Not to stressful?

Things are going great here. The hardest thing right now is that there is not enough time to get everything that we want to get done. Its tough. There is so much that we need to do and there is just not enough time. We are trying to do divisions as much as possible (everyday if we can) so we can work double time but it still seems like there is not enough time. There is so much that we need to do. There are so many people that i need to help but im just going to do my best every day. My very best and then seek to improve my best daily.

The De Paz Family is doing really well. We´re hoping that we can get them baptized this saturday or the next. They passed the interview with president and now we just have to help the testimony of the wife grow as far as that we have a true prophet and that he is the only person with all the keys of authority of the priesthood on the earth. We had a good lesson with them yesterday though and we and going to do everything to help them keep progressing. They need to get baptized. I need to help more people get baptized. I have to baptize more.

This week we also had a meeting with Pres. Alvarado and some of the missionaries and it went really well. We talked alot about how to help the mission get better. I learned alot about how to be a better leader and get the best out of others. We talked alot about the importantance companionship study every day. Its so important to study the gospel together and prepare so that we can really help others to change their lives. However the first life that we have to change is our own and that comes from studying the scriptures.

We also got to go to the temple this week and it was awesome. I am enjoying going to the temple alot more. I feel more comfortable. The first few times were a little overwhelming but now i am coming to understand the true importance of having temples on the earth and how they are a place of peace and as the scriptures say a place where we can comune with god.

I love you all very much and am very appriciative of your prayers. Please pray for the people here in Lo de Fuentes.

Love,

Elder Vincent
