Hola mami!
not much went on this last week... we've been working extra hard to try and find people to teach, and we've been having some slight success, but I know that as we continue, the lord will bless us for our diligence.
but for an update with things that are going on with Marcia and Francisco! so, seeing as the last time that we were able to stop by them, we weren't sure if we were going to leave or not we were able to get some pictures, so I'm gonna upload those in a minutorz.
alright! so, picture one, normal picture.
picture two: CRAZY PICTURE! :D I love Elder Lehr's face in this one! xD
so yeah. Marcia was able to make it to church last week, but Francisco couldn't because he had to work SUPER late. He's an electrician, and ever since some of the storms have been passing by, a lot of people up in the higher parts of the island have been without power for a while... so he's working to replace some lost power poles, and stuff like that. but, the class in gospel principles last week was about eternal families... and marcia was very attentive. very good. hopefully things are working around in their heads so that they will feel more comfortable talking with president. :D and they've both also read the family: a proclamation... so yeah. we keep praying for them! :D
oh my gosh, are you serious? dad was gonna forge my name for my vote?! that's so ridiculous! xD ha ha ha!
eh heh heh heh... yeah.... it seems that there be no more... manly issues. for now.
ah, so robin DID have a cancerous moll then. speaking of cancer... wait.... molls? no... that's not it... speaking of then (yes, that's it.), YAY! robin went to church! so awesome! but that crazy fat black lady... uhm, not so much. but hopefully chase will start going to church. should I send a letter for her home, or do you have her new address?
whew... the tie and the spork... do I want to save those for when I get home... or do I want their awesomeness here? ooo... I think it might be best to keep those at home. I wouldn't want anything to happen to an 1nd3struqt@b1e ut3nsi1. or an 8-bit artic1e of c10thing.(indestructible utensil. :) ) however, just knowing they were there waiting for me nice and cozy would give me such joy. just like knowing that Yoshi on a cute little cart-like vehicle is there. :D
so yes. whoops. sorry 'bout that. if I don't keep my concentration, my mind powers change the text color without me knowing. *ahem* anyways, you should tell Hannah that her pictures are aMayzeeng! I had no idea that she had SO many pictures. and so many awesome ones, too! sweet!
ah blarg, I'm gonna have to bust a move to email president...
I love you more than very hard, hybrid utensils and 8-bit objects!

Mark 1:4 and 9
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
Christ was not baptized for the remission of sins because he had none. But, as Nephi recounts, he was baptized for the following reasons:
(1) As a token of humility before the Father;
(2) As a covenant that he would keep the commandments;
(3) As a prelude to receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost;
(4) To gain entrance to and be saved in the kingdom of God, for no one, not even the Son of God, can so obtain without baptism; and
(5) As a pattern and an example for all men, and so that he could say: “Follow thou me” and also, “He that is baptized in my name, to him will the Father give the Holy Ghost, like unto me; wherefore, follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do.” (See 2 Ne. 31:5–12.)
