Haha, I hope Will and Jamie don't drive you too crazy these last 4 weeks. What are their plans after they are married? Like where are they living and all that.

And tell Austin and Shanna congrats for me. That's exciting for them. And yeah, I think Aunt Ann might end up moving out to Utah and leave Uncle Terry behind if Austin and Shanna don't move closer. And then Uncle Terry will follow her. And what exactly qualifies as a "real" job?

Anyways, San Miguel. We have a lot of investigators. Like always some more positive than others. And most are families. We actually just baptized two cousins Luis and Bladimir Hernandez (12 and 10). They had been going to Church for like a year or so apparently and they both just wanted to be baptized. Something changed within the last two weeks. So (not that I´m counting) I have 3 baptisms. And I think more on the way. And hopefully some of my former investigators in Paleca will be baptized soon. And don't worry Mom, this isn't the most dangerous area in the mission. But it might be the best. Right now I think the mission has 80 baptisms this month. Our Zone (San Miguel) has 20 of those baptisms. We have 1/4 of the mission's baptisms. And we (as a Zone) have more this weekend.

And I can definitely see the courage to say "yes". We have a family where the mom needs that courage. She wants to keep investigating. And investigating. She doesn't want to have the courage to say "yes". She doesn't want to take that step of faith. Not yet.

And its absolutely nuts that Clark comes home that soon. It doesn't seem like that long. And I was thinking about Robs this week. I had lost track of the weeks and figured he had gone out last week. Or was leaving this week.

And Sallie has like brown eyes? When did this happen?

Anyways, I know Erik asked about P-days a few weeks ago. P-days here are the same as Paleca. We get up. Get together as a Zone. We go write emails. And then we go play soccer for a few hours. Then we go to lunch. And then we go back to our houses. And sleep. Or write letters. Whatever you want to do. And we'll go drop off laundry or go to the store to buy whatever we need. Its way chill.

That's about it. Not much else to report.

Love you.

Love,

Elder Gilreath

P.S. And you can tell Devin he doesn't have to report on this abysmal week in Sports. He doesn't have to relive the horror.
