Transfers, my new companion is elder De Leon, from Guatamala. I think he will be my last, meaning that every one of my companions have been from a different country: Ecuador, Bolivia, Mexico, United States (California), Argentina, Peru, Comobia, and Guatamala. I have hook ups all over the world if I want to do some world traveling later in life. I am excited to hear from Kris about the food and culture there, I should be an expert on Guatamala by the end of my mission. It was way awesome yesterday, we ran into Akisa, a future investigator, while he was leaving work to make a copy of his passport, and he started asking a lot about what makes our church different and how to know which church is Gods true church. He said he wanted to go to a park and learn more, so we sat down outside our apartment building and shared the message of the restoration. He only had one big doubt, because he had heard that when the veil was broked in the temple that meant that God had stopped speaking through prophets, and that he would reveal his truth only through the holy ghost. We testified of the importance of latter day prophets and invited him to pray to find out for himself. He prayed for an answer, and said he felt good afterwards, but that he wanted to know more and get to know the book of mormon. We then invited him to be baptized when he felt that this was true. We invited him to read the book of mormon. The hatians are so awesome, so much have been prepared and are waiting to hear the truth. On thursday we are doing a zone activity cleaning a Israelite church, and then eating lunch with them. It should be fun. Today we had an awesome barbeque, eating choripanes and playing ping pong, Jenga, and Uno. It was a night before planned activity, but a lot of missionaries went and we had a blast. Brother Reyes taught us how to make the best 3 leches torta, sooooo good, I will have to make one when I get back. Congrajulations Jeremy on your baptism, it has to be hard being white washed right before the baptism. You are having so many amazing experiences on the mission. Congrajulations Joshua, I love you, and am so happy that things went so swell. From the photos it looks like you had a blast. I still can`t believe Amy and Kate are so tall. I wish you a long happy marraige. What an amazing week. I love you all, we will talk more next week. Elder Chandler
