(Response to Dad's e-mail, in which he shared about some medical conferences he attended and asked whom Christian wants at the airport when he arrives. NOTE: "JJ" refers to "Jami and Jason".)
Lots of cool office things and medical terms I dont fully understand! Cool! Well, right off to answer you question about the Homecoming, Id MUCH rather have JJ there for my arrival. I wasnt very close with...anyone in the ward, so that really doesnt concern me. I pick Door A.
Dont worry Dad, That doesnt even make me trunky. Dave wrote me a really great letter today and Im gonna try alot harder to get focused and chartible in these last few months.
Love you dad! BA!
(General e-mail.)

Anyway, the week.
So it was a pretty normal week. Absolutely cruised by, but thats not abnormal. We´ve been finding ourselves doing an inordinate amount of walking as many appointments fall. Weekends here are a nightmare as everyone leaves our tiny field village and goes off to the big city to do real person things. The Contreras family are still awesome but...there´s a big problem with their marriage. We were trying to take out copies of the Birth Certificates but when we used Molly´s (the wife) ID to try, a man showed up in the system instead of her! Looks like the derpy dominican worker goofed on some numbers. So thats unfortunate. The cool part is that when we talked about it with Billy (the husband) on Sunday, he was pretty chill. He told us that he still wants to get baptized on the 18th and that he knows the Lord will do his work and provide a way to get them married and baptized. It seems he is developing an exceptional faith. :)
So apart from that we found a few new families! Of note we have a new man named Hector. We are teaching his whole family, but he stands out. We left a BoM with him to read, but then couldn´t return for like 2 weeks. We would calll him and talk and he would always tell us that he was reading and had lots of questions and the he REALLY wanted to talk to us about the BoM. When we finally went back yesterday, we finally discussed the book and he LOVED it. He accepted a baptismal date for April and seems very excited about everything we taught.
We also found several people who apparently used to go to church a bunch, but then stopped going for work and lost contact with the missionaries when transfers happened. After speaking with them, they seem very excited to come back to church and learn more! Yay blessings!
For normal life news, Ive decided Im going to apply to UVU for multiple reasons, among them many mission friends are going there, living with my Hermano Dave, and starting afresh in a new area. :)
Love you all!! Remember, God hears you and he loves you VERY much. BYE!
