THE FIRST BAPTISM IN THE MISSION!!!! I was so stoked! his name is Ronald and he is 25 and he is really lieks the church and his goal is to go to the temple with his girlfriend who is a member as well... it was an amazing experience to watch him rise from the wáter a new man of god! he has some great potential to be a future leader! i had to direct the meeting too in spanish which i was really nervous but i think i did alright and the service went really good! very stoked for him because i believe he wont be one of those people that i will have to worry about falling away from the church... and how was the surf! give me every Little detail! hahahah... i cant wait to get out back on my board with ya! hey can you tell kurtis Marriot to email me! i haven't Heard from him forever and he told me that he was going to email me! i am having some problems with my companion because he is extremely pick and lazy and if he doesn't like something yeah there is no way around it... he is a very weird dude and very feministic too.... still hoping for that really solid good working companion.... i hope to get at least one in the misión that has the same personality and desire but ill be okay i hope... i'm sending the pictures with mom so ask her for them and there will be quite a few! but you know i will be giving it my all everyday dad!  and ill try not to be hard on myself... something that i am working on while i am here...
