Dear Family and Friends:

Alright, first off that office is sooo awesome!!!! Me and the other elders here are flippin out over it, lol! (Mom sent a picture of Elder Marquis' brother Ryan in his new office...)

ok questions...
1. Yes, it would definately be better if you could buy a phone card there and send it in a package or something like that for the call for Christmas.
2. No, I still haven't goten that package you sent yet, maybe next week possibly.
3. (Mom asked if he needed more luggage or what he does with all the stuff mom sends him in packages..) Ummm, I'm pretty sure I´ll just weed things out. The stuff I´d be leaving behind would probably just be clothes that are too big.
4. READ IN THE LETTER.. (best contact of the week)
5. ALSO..READ IN THE LETTER (Spiritual experience of the week.)
6. STOP WRITING THAT, lol, its embarrasing, lol. ( Do you know how much you are loved and adored??)

OK, letter for this week. Here we go. No more messing around. Seriously, I'm going to start writing now. Like right now. No, not in a few seconds. Right now....but seriously.

We just got the info. that my district is now leading the mission!!! This has just been a pretty cool week over all. Everyone in my district baptised and confirmed their converts, so cool.
Also, this past Thursday and Friday we had a special seminar just for our zone with Presidente Maravilla, which was pretty good. Pretty much got our goal refocused not on baptising people...but baptising families. That is what we have been Recalled to do, find, teach and baptise families. I´d like to say that we´re running like a well oiled machine, lol.
This past Sunday the kids of the family Renoc were confirmed, but not the parents. We needed the parents confirmed for the completion of this baptism so we ran to their house last night and were like this, " We have the opportunity to confirm you a member of the church of Jesucristo, tonight, and you can receive the Holy Ghost which will be a protective guidance in your life and the lives of your children...would you like to receive this gift tonight?" lol, and of course they couldn´t refuse that... so we had them confirmed last night at the church. Here comes the part that was really amazing. I´ve baptised my fair share of people but last night I got to confirm them!! It was so cool. This was my first time confirming someone a member of the church and not just watching someone receive the Holy Ghost.. but to actually give it is something so amazing and powerful!
On a little funny note more or less... I was playing around with one of the members dogs yesterday and for some reason this dog loves lemons...dont know why, just does...anyways, I kept playing with the dog like I was going to steal his lemon. He would get all hunched down and stick his butt up in the air and do his little growl and then I would back off. But the last time I actually stole his lemon and he didn´t like this to much because he tried to bite me, lo. He got a little knicked but the funny part is that when he lunged at me I was like AHHH...and screamed like a little girl...and then like 5 min. later the tropic rains kicked in and the loudest crack of thunder I've ever heard slashed through the air and yet again without failing, I screamed like a little girl....so yeah, good times, lol.
Side note, Pres. was joking about me training on the next change, but I dont know about that, lol, who knows.




Anyways, that was my week,
Love you guys tons,
Elder Marquis
