Hola familia y amigos.

Well this week and month have been miricles.

WEll i will just cut to the chase cause when i get here i just blank out and alll the week seems like one huge blur.

oh funny thing happened. SO we were eating with some other elders and elder carter was there, it was right after an interview i had to do for them and so it was super early in the morning and so they gave us breakfast and i love the hot food and chile. And so does elder carter and so we always argue about who eats the most. So we decided to figure it out right then and he dared mi to eat a huge spoon full of chile seco…..its pretty hot. So i did and then he did it to but we both just stopped after the first one cause my gastritis was burning inside and i thought i was going to die. hahahahah. but it was funny.

So this week we got the privalige to baptize 6 people. It was a fmaily of 4 and a little girl and a joven of 16 yrs. They are all miricles. SO the girl is called Karla and her mom was baptized about 13yrs ago and had been
inactive for like 8yrs. So we found her by a reference from her gma and i was talking to her gma and asking for a reference and she wouldnt give us one cause she said that she didnt know any one who would be interested. So i was like ¨any of your neighbors, aunts uncles, friends……¨and i got to the point where i was just playing with her cause i figured she wouldnt give us one and so i got bored and when i get bored i just mess with people. hahaha. so i just kept asking and asking and my comp was looking at mi like i was crazy……But then i was like, oh well you win gma ad gave up. And she was like well if
you want you can visit my daughter. sO we went and foound Karla who was vary ready. That was a testimony builder that we need to be persistant and patient. hahahahaha. and have fun. hahaha

Also we baptized a kid called Martin. He has 16yrs and is the only one of his family that got baptized. He is the man and is trying to beat mi in reading the Book of Mormon. So
his sister is getting baptized nezxt week and his mom surprised him and went to hs baptized and she felt the spirit soooo strong and cried and said she loved it and wants to learn more and so we are going to baptize her soon. But Martin is one of the most noble kids i know. And will be a future missionry. He is going to baptize his sister.
weeeee. WEll the family of 4 we baptized was quite a struggle but it was worth it all. So the adversary really worked hard on them and even used the guy who gave us the reference to tell us that they were not ready to get baptized and to not baptize them. It was crazy.
Probably one of the most stressful weeks ever. But with lots of prayer and fasting all went well. The mom is called MArisela and her 4 kids David, Israel,Sarah,Omar. The dad
comes home every 15 days and didnt want them to get baptized and they actually were supposed to get baptized on saturday but they didnt cause the dad locked them in the house, but we went over there that same night and the hna Marisela talked with her husband and he said it was fine. SO we baptized them sunday morning and the Water was FREEZING and so one of the kids didnt get baptized. hahaha. poor kid. BUt it was a bautiful expirence to see the family come togehter to put the example for the dad and i know that the dad will join the church. Its a great humble family that just want to do the right.

I love this work and love being and instrument in HIS hands. thanks for everything. love you all.

Love you all long time
Elder Minetto
