How is everything going? It sounds like you guys had a great week back at home. Our week here was pretty good, and we worked really hard! We are really struggling with getting people to church though and at times it can be a little bit discouraging. We had a great week though and we did, ALOT of finding! On thursday I went on a trade off with Elder Watchman here in Siparia, and Elder Rodney went to San Fernando for the day. It was a lot of fun serving with him again, and we had a great day together. I don't mean to rub it in or anything, but it has been SOOOOO hot lately! At times I wonder if I will be able to handle it for a year and a half more, and then I think about how cold it is getting back at home and somehow it doesnt seem as hot anymore! Well its crazy to say, but christmas is right around the corner! Can you believe it? I cant at all! To me it still feels like it is july or something, but then I look at my calendar.. The good news for this week was we were able to finally see Clayton and he is doing really good. We hadnt seen him for almost 3 weeks, and I was starting to think that he got a hold of some anti or something, but it turned out he was just really busy. We had a really good lesson with him about The Book of Mormon, and the spirit was very strong. Last week, I started to read The Book of Mormon over again and this time highlight everywhere that it mentions christ in any form. Well I have only reached 1 Nephi chapter 15 and It is amazing to me how much it talks, and testifies of Jesus Christ. All throughout my life, I have always heard of how strong of a witness of christ it really is, but for the first time in my life, I have been able to see it for myself, and it is incredible! As I have been reading it, I have had such a strong impression, that there is no way this book could not be true, I just wish that everyone could feel that way! Well it sounds like things are going great! Dad, Wow, I am impressed with all those ducks, it looks like we are going to have to start calling you Rex the duck slayer... Hahaha it looks like you are having a great time and the blind looks incredible!!! Mom, It sounds like you are doing great also! I hope that you start feeling better, and I will make sure to keep you in my prayers! Mel and John, Haha send me some pictures of your house already, come on! Jk, but really! It sounds like you guys are doing great! I hope the kids are making new friends and having a great time! Ang and Scott, my prediction is another boy!!! And his name shall be Daniel... I really hope that everything goes smooth with your house! Paige, It sounds like you are doing great also. Thanks for the email! I am only a little bit fat, so dont worry! And Jason, You got to baptize jaedin?! That is so awesome. Dont worry, it took me 2 tries on my first baptism also! I love hearing about your swim meets! Keep on working hard and preparing for your mission! Well I better get going, I am going to send some pictures, maybe some of my 6 month tie ceremony, and we will just have to see what else I have on the camera. The church is true, and I know that with all that I have!
I love you all,
Elder Gines
