Here there were a good number of little kids dressed up to get candy in the rich part of town. It was neat to see the families together with their kids doing something. Most of the people we talk to dont really understand the tradition. One woman said she thought it had to do with devil worship. To me a day to honor the dead makes more sense but its still a lot of fun to get into the halloween spirit.

Here things are going well. We will be having a baptism this saturday. His name is alexander, hes the guy who wanted to be baptized on wedneday, we came to a compromise that makes it possible for people to come. Im really excited for this one because it will be the first time I assisted in baptizing an adult lol. The missionaries have been teaching him for a long time and so this is a fairly big event.

In other news we have been teaching several people that show a lot of interest. some came to church. others accepted a date to be baptized. We have had trouble however finding them. It seems that we can get one good lesson in with someone and then they disapear, theyre not there for their appointments, theyre not there whenever we come by they stop answering the phone. Theres not much we can do in situations like this, we will keep trying, coming by but other than that, we cant do anything. it seems like this is one of the biggest obstacles to the missionary work here. Its frustrating but we keep moving on giving thanks for the success that we do have.

Its obvious that the only way to see success is by working with the members. Ive never seen anyone baptized who didnt have a friend in the church. When missionaries share the gospel, it can be a wierd experience, but when members share the gospel, its not weird, its like sharing a neat experience with a friend. Its hard for me to understand what I can do to help members do missionary work but this is where my thoughts are.

Things are going well here, Ill talk about the details of the baptism when it happens.

I love all of you very much. I hope you have a great week.
