Happy Birthday Jaren!....and you hit your 1/4 mark

Happy Birthday! Mom sent me my favorite...a Funfetti B'day cake mix! Not sure if the oven would bake it or not as it has 2 settings: On & Off! But it was great!
Carla Vega's baptism - 2/14/09
Yep! That's me stuffing it.

hey everyone how are things going? things are going good down here in Ovalle. i am a little sick with a sore throat but its not too bad...Today is the last day of the third change of my mission. Tonight we have changes. i really have no idea if i am staying or leaving. honestly either one works for me. i love the people here and the weather should start getting a bit more mild after this past month and a half of scorching weather.
So this week has been a busy one. this past week we had a zone conference. the mission president couldnt be there. it was only our zone and the assistants. it was a good conference. The baptism was at 6 and was really nice. we made homemade raspberry-blueberry cheesecake and brownies for the baptism which turned out really good. they were both a huge hit and when we brought them out, immediatly like 4 ladies from the branch were asking us how to make them and the recipe. they went nuts. that evening we played basketball with a few guys who thought they were pretty hot stuff.
this sunday i confirmed carla. it was a good experience for me. later that evening we went on divisions with a couple members from the branch. it was a good time.
This morning i got all packed just in case i leave i can visit people this evening. our president told us that we should be able to pack in 30 minutes if we needed to so i practiced this morning...didnt do it in 30 minutes but got it done...thanks to those of you who wrote me this week. take care and next week i guess we´ll see where i´m at...chao.
