I hope that Jordan and Alyssa have a great wedding on Friday.  I wish I was there to see it.  You'll have to tell them hi for me!

Me and Elder Ipson are getting along great!  He´s a great kid and really random.  He has me laughing all day.  His Spanish is getting really good!  We had a great last week and I had him talk a lot more than he was used to, but he did great and I think he learned a lot!  We have a great relationship and are having fun here in Minas!

We are teaching three families!  We are super excited and are seeing a ton of miracles here in Minas! One of the families that we are teaching is Camilo, Alicia, and their two kids.  Alicia had the two kids f

This last week has been a busy week, but loads of fun! A family that we found a week ago came to church again and they are doing awesome!  The husband is already a member.  He's living with this lady and they're not married, but we're going to help them get it figured out.  They´ve told us several times that they want to get married and keep going to church. They love the atmosphere and the things they have heard about families.  The lady really wants to get baptized!  We´re stoked!

My companion got a call last Saturday from the mission president and told he was going to be the new financier for the mission.  It's a great opportunity for him to serve and work in the mission home.  Elder Reay was super excited and caught a bus to the mission home after church on Sunday.

I´m super excited for this Mother´s Day! I can´t believe we get to talk again through Skype! It feels like yesterday it was Christmas and we were talking.  So the plans for this Sunday is that I´ll be calling you at 7:00 P.M. here in Uruguay time. I think you guys are four hours behind me so it will be at 3:00 P.M. for you.  I´ll be calling you from the computadora using Skype from the house of our branch president. He has a nice set up so it should be a sweet experience.  We get 40 minutes to talk.  I wish we could talk longer, but 40 minutes is still an awesome amount of time!  As of right now those are the plans.  I can´t wait to see you guys and see how big Tyler and Cade have grown.

As I'm typing this at the computer cafe, it is funny because I´m sitting right next to Elder Wilkey (he´s from England) and he goes home the 22nd of this month.  He´s super excited to go home and is giggling like a little girl with every thing his family is telling him. It's getting really annoying.  :-)
