Hello everyone,

How are things going back home?  Things are going pretty good here.
It has been pretty hot here recently.  And I'm not sure that much is
going to change soon.  Honestly there is not all that much new this
week.  Things have been staying about the same.  I am starting to get
a little more accustomed to my new companion.  We are working pretty
well together.  He is very humble, obedient, and makes a lot of
sarcastic jokes. We are working hard to try to teach a lot of people
here.  Lately, we haven't been teaching as many people as before.  It
is hard because a lot of the good potential new investigators that we
have been finding have been leaving on vacation lately.  Unfortunately
that makes things somewhat hard sometimes.  Things are going to get
better in that sense in March, I think.  We will just need to work on
trying to find more new investigators to teach.

One thing that I really enjoy about this sector is being able to work
a lot to strengthen the branch here.  In areas like this, the branches
usually need quite a bit of help to get stronger.  The great thing is
that the Branch President is really great and should be able to help a
lot to see some real growth here, helping to reactivate and
strengthen the membership here, along with finding new people and
helping them to be baptized.

The great thing is that Nidia will be baptized this Saturday night.
It should be a really great experience, and I'll be sure to send some
pictures next week.  I hope all is well.

Have a great week.
