The big 1 - 0

Well, here I am sitting on the big 1-0. Ten months in the mission, which means 14 left. Transfers are also next Sunday, so who knows what sort of craziness might go down. All I know is that we are working hard and well together.

Ernesto was baptized on Saturday, and it was a great service. We had lots of pictures of the temple up and sang a special number half in English and half in Spanish. He said he felt great, and it was a wonderful feeling for me as well. I also did my first baptismal interview this week for the Elders in my district, and it was a great experience. I hope everything turns out great for them, and I`m getting accustomed to the crazy schedules that leaders often have with interviews and activities (we helped the Sisters with an activity Saturday as wells) and baptisms and whatnot all the time. It´s actually sorta fun.

Other than that, it´s just a lot of gaining more experience, learning more about the things I teach, meeting and helping more people, and moving forward in the mission and in life. I don`t suppose anyone has any career suggestions for me? That much is my biggest concern for the next year, as I´ve only got that much time left to figure out my major. It´s not really a worry right now, but I do know I need to keep thinking about it or the answer will never come.

I hope everything is great at home. The shoes are fine, the pants are fine, the apartment is clean (gasp!), and the food is great. I`m going to try to learn a trick or two so I can cook up some latin tastiness when I get home. For now, I simply continue marching on as a member of God´s army. Happy birthday again, and I hope you enjoyed the temple.

Love,
Elder Lund
