Actually, the package (which was FANTASTIC btw) was awesome, and got me thinking. Is there any way I can get a list of majors at BYU? I´m moving towards NASA stuff again (perhaps just because of the awesome shirt and the blanket). It´s been an interest all my life, and perhaps there´s something behind that. It´s kinda hard to gather thoughts together though, espcially because I´m in the middle of so many other things. The space blanket is super cool though, and super warm. The only downside is that it crinkles and makes noise that scares the snot out of my comp sometimes. But eh, that´s cool. ;P

So speaking of which, I´m still in providencia and my comp is Elder Hernandez from Santo Domingo Ingenio, the state of Oaxaca (can you prounounce that? Say it with me: "wa-ha-ka"...or "wahakalugie") Cool place with lots of native culture, unlike Guadalajara, which can trace most of its influnces to the Spaniards and things that have been invented since Mexican Independence. GDL is a modern city though.

So Mayte was baptized on saturday! It was a good service, and her friends from another ward came. Also with her was her mom, who felt the spirit and seemed very proud of her daugher. We´ll see what we can do there in the future. It´s always such a good feeling to start to change families step by step. mayte is already super active and ready though...I mean, she was doing visiting teaching before she was baptized! Friday she went to a multi-stake dance too. Ready to roll, and help change things in her own home and strengthen her family.

People to pray for: Nadia and Sinuhe, who are doing beter. Also Sinuhe´s nephew Iran, whose family is reactivating and preparing for his baptism. The thing is, Iran is sick. i don´t know what he´s got (some weird named disease without a cure...it has to do with swelling organs and stuf), but it´s not deathly dangerous. The only thing is that he´ll have to stay in bed or sitting around for about a month. The dad is sure that he can be okay for this Saturday, but that´s something they are gonna consult with the doctor today to see if he´s physically able to do that. Hopefully everything turns out alright.

Say hi and send my thanks to Richard Krenz, Tyler McCombs, and Kevin Habenicht, the three people who have sent me letters! They´re all awesome. I´ll see how I can get letters back, because its rather complicated...but I´ll see what I can do. Tell them thanks for me, and also especial thanks to the family, for always thinking about me and setting a good example for others. Thank you for enjoying life too!

Well, gotta run...We´ll be giving district class today.

Love yoU!
