hey, well sorry i dont have a ton of time to write today, but i just wanted to say that elder snyder is finally gone! jk im actually really sad. first off, because now i have to speak 100 percent spanish with my companion. his name is elder leyva. he is from the state of mexico, a chilango as they call them here. he has 6 months right now, and has had good preparation from his past companion. he is pretty understanding of me and my lack of spanish, and i think we will get along. he is my heigth and has glasses. i have only been with him for a few hours, so i cant tell you a ton about him right now. but i think we will do good things here. who knows if we will be together to finish out this change of 4 weeks, or if we will go for another 10 weeks together.
on sunday, we finally got alberto and his daughter anahi baptized and confirmed! the mom sophia still isnt ready, but her time will come. we spent all day running around the church to get the font filled for the baptism, but the entire church was completely out of water, and the bishop was at the temple all day! here, they just use water storage systems, its sadly nothing like utah. when elder snyder gets back, he wants to come and talk with you all, and you can ask him all the questions you want! haha. i think he will come tuesday or wednesday. he or his mom will probably write you.
i wanted to thank all of you for keeping me updated on whats going on! its really fun to hear what up back home. by the way betsy, we get 3 or 4 inches in about 15 mins. haha its nuts here! i still pray for you all and thank you for your prayers! keep up the good work and remember that we may always be small in numbers, but the lord is on our side, and if we trust in him, all things are possible. i just read the story of nefi and his brothers going back to get the plates from laban, and the brothers were scared that he could command 50 people and slay 50 people himself, but later it says that no matter the number of the army, it is possible with the lord. stay strong in the gospel! i love you all
