and ....After!
Little Copito our dog friend
all we had to do was count and he would tilt his head-it was hilarious.
copito means little snowflake in spanish para que sepa 
hey everyone how are things going? this week was a good one. we had three investigators coming to church yesterday. We have a baptism this weekend for Felipe and Matias Romero. They are brothers in a family menos activa. the family is starting to reactivate themselves now as their kids are getting baptized. their two older siblings are going to seminary now and enjoying that. they are an awesome family. This past week, we had interviews with our new Mission President, Pres. Gillespie. As we were walking down the hall he asked me how i was doing. out of habit i answered in spanish and then he said, " is it alright if we just talk in english?" it kind of caught me off guard but it was fine with me. we did the whole interview in english. it was just getting to know each other a bit more. he shared with me the importance of not measuring our success by the numbers...what we do in our sectors often times will show up in numbers long after we leave but what we do everyday has an impact on the sector and the people. I also had an interview with Hermana Gillespie. She is a really cool lady. She sure does struggle with the spanish though. I had to be a translator for her interview with one of the sister missionaries in my zone who is from Colombia. It was a get to know you, how is your mission going for you type of interview. So the girl that Elder Watkins and I found when we did interchanges a few weeks ago is going to get baptized this weekend. I did the interview for her on Saturday. She is really excited for her baptism. So this week, we were also able to finally find and teach Raul. He has been working a lot and we havent been able to find him for over a month. We talked to him about the power of prayer. He is trying to stop smoking. I told him to give me his box of cigarettes and then i just started eating them. Haha just kidding, i took two out and soaked them in milk. when they dry, he is supposed to put them back in the box all mixed up so he doesnt know which ones are which. we will see how things go the next time we see him.
