hey mom.  maria and juan are doing very good maria is down to get baptized but juan is stilling deciding himself. They are moving in two Saturdays but within the zone but they won´t be able to get baptized before that because we have to teach them more and they have to attend church at least 3 times before. but everything has been going really good with them.  Today we had a very fun pday. President Gwilliam organized a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. We got together as the south side of the mission today and the north side will also do it and the winners will play each other. My team won today so we will be playing the winners from the north in a couple pdays.  We are having a really good time here.  This past week i have been reading nuestro legado (Our legacy?) but its the book that talks about the history of the church and about all the Prophets. I have really liked it.  thanks for everything  i love you  Elder Austin  I asked Nathan to send som

hi  sorry this email is a little late. This past Saturday Alejandra was baptized and on Sunday  she was confirmed. She has know for a while that she wanted to get baptized and that the church is true but just wasn't´t able to stop smoking.  They find the hoarder houses from nonmembers usually. And it was super hard for the guy he kept getting made and digging through the trash to get his stuff out.    This week we had a really cool experience. we were walking and saw two hermanas from the ward and we went over to talk to them and while we were talking with him a friend of one of the ladies came over and talked to us and one of the sisters invited her friend to have us go over with her to visit her. So later that week we went over to teach them and we have now taught them twice both times with both the members present.  The friends name is maria jose and we are also teaching her husband juan carlos.  So we are actually teaching a family and  teaching them with members-the id

This week a senior couple posted some pictures on face book from a service project they did. hi hows it going?  We totally have our own hoarding show down here. The senior missionaries work with the city and find a lot of houses like that and the missionaries take them apart. The only problem is that almost everyone here has a little hoarder in them. As we were throwing all the stuff away several people walked by and wanted to take the trash.  Alejandra stopped smoking about 2 weeks ago and she is going to get baptized this Saturday. She has been investigating the church for like 12 years and just now is going to be able to be baptized. Yeah everyone one here smokes. I am 99% sure i have second hand smoking.  Today we went to the temple we were going to go to a session at 9 but we didn't´t make it on time.  And it wasn't´t my fault mom, we left at like  7:15  but the buses and public transportation are just so
