¿Que Te Pasa Vato?

Hello Family,

Well this week has a few good tidings to report. First off we had Karla's Baptism on Saturday as you can see from the pictures, the sister missionaries also had a 9 year old girl investigator baptized at the same time so it was double dunk. It went well, so in the pictures there, Elder Lang is the tall Elder will short hair and Elder Lamoure is the short one with glasses, I don't think I've yet sent you all pictures of them. The Baptism went well, it was funny. Later that night after the baptism, Karla called us and told us she couldn't sleep because she was too excited to be confirmed with the Holy Ghost the next day. She's funny.

Well the situation goes better with my companions, President got wind of their doings through certain means and he called us one morning and had separate long discussions with my companions over the phone, he said he was coming down on Thursday to have some "special interviews". Well he came down we all got an interview from President and to me he just told me that he was grateful that I was staying true even though my companions weren't, he then stressed the need to take a more active role in their missions and keep them in line. Since then things have been going slightly better, obedience is improving but it's a slow going. We'll see what happens. Then the day after we went on exchanges with the AP's. The AP's don't usually go on exchanges with anyone except ZL's so we knew that it was President double checking on us. I went to the AP's area and the other came down to work with Lang and Lamoure, and boy did he work them hard, when we un-exchanged backed they were both exhausted. I actually had a good time in their area. They have a pretty ghetto area, we didn't talk to a single white person all day, it was great, not a single person turned down taking a card from us. It just reminded me more and more of how easy it would be to do missionary work in the ghetto, and how I really want to get transferred to a ghetto area. Hopefully I will, President said that the three of us most likely won't be staying together next transfer so I will hopefully be out. Which is kind of a shame because I really like this ward. It's been my favorite so far but the area is pretty boring.

Well... I don't have much more to write, which is good since we're getting kicked out of the computer lab again. We need to start coming earlier. I love you all and hope you all have a good week.
