April 20th

Hey Family,

Finally, a real letter.

I heard about Jeff, and will keep him in my prayers. My companions have loved hearing the funny stories of Jefferson, so I'm sure they'll pray for him too. I was glad to hear that he was doing better, but I guess I'll have to wait a week to find out how it turns out:-(. In the meantime I'll keep praying for him.

We baptized again! A boy named Francisco. His nick-name is Panchito,(little hot-dog), he is 14 years old, and a great kid. He is counsin with a member family, and started coming to church a couple of weeks ago. He became an instant friend with all the boys in the branch, which is awesome.

The members told us that he wanted to be baptized, and we set a date with the president before even talking to Pancho. The next day, the first time we met with him, before teaching anything my companion straight out asked him, "so, would you like to be baptised?", He nodded his head, "yes". And that was that. We taught all the lessons in two visits, he understood everything, and got baptized on Saturday. We also had 11 non-members come to the baptism,everyone loves Panchito. We're going to talk with his friends and see if any of them want to be baptized.

Oh about Mother's day. I'm pretty sure you will call me. We have a cell phone as a companionship, and we'll send you the number and you can call that day. I'm three hours ahead of Salt lake (we don't have daylight savings, so it changes from three to four hours).

The Lord has blessed us, there is still a lot to do, but I'm hoping we can finish off this month of April with a Bang.

I love you all, thanks for your emails and lettes! I'll be better at writing back. I'm beginning to master the secret arts of Missionaty email.

Sincerely,

Elder Reynolds
