Traveling

email 7/8/09
Hey, I just wanted to write you all and let you know that you are off the hook this Saturday. I will not be having a P-Day. I am going on divisions this whole week and then we have an interview tour and so I won’t write again until Saturday the 18th.

The baptism of the Garcia Family was AMAZING!! Dardo, Gonzalo, and Santiago all received the Aaronic Priesthood on Sunday, and the ward received the family really well. Everyone bore their testimonies and said "congratulations Garcia family. Welcome to the ward!" There was a real spirit of brotherhood and friendshipping of new members that I have never had with a baptism. Perhaps it is because the whole family got baptized together. Dardo, (who is tall and with dark hair and an intense man with a deep voice), bore a sweet testimony in the baptism. He said, and I quote "I wasn’t sure about the whole religion thing. And they talked to me about Joseph Smith and baptism and a few times I just wanted to ask them to leave. But I remember one day when they were there I felt something that I couldn’t deny. I wont try to describe it because you all must have felt the same thing and that is why you are here. I received my answer from the Holy Ghost and I knew that what the missionaries taught me was true." :) - I think that about says it.

Well, it isn’t my P-day so I gotta go. I just thought I would throw you a quick line en vista de que no tengo un dia de preparacion esta semana. Cuidense! Les quiero!!
