"And also, the voice of the Son came unto me, saying: 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." 

- 2 Nephi 31:12

We had another baptism this week! It was in my second sector and for a young man that I had never taught, but I got to know him really well. He asked me to baptize him, but then I moved to another sector; I got to travel to go baptize him! It was a great experience to see him again and to have been able to help him take this important step in his life. I was so glad to have been there!

This week was a slow one for me because I was sick and had to stay inside my apartment for the most of it. I’m sorry that this email is so short, but the four of us missionaries who are living together are sharing one computer so there's much less time. If I wasn’t able to respond your email or write you, I will do so this next week. I love you all, and I’m so glad to be here in the service of the Lord. It doesn’t matter where I am. I can share the gospel in a bus, in a subway, walking down the street, waiting in line to buy medications... anywhere. Isn’t the gospel just so great? It is something that could only be created by our loving Heavenly Father. How could something that can change and benefit the lives of someone anywhere from Mongolia to Chile, the US to China be created by a man? It is impossible. I am a believer of this. I know it to be so. I ask for all of you to ponder this week and throughout your life about how you can further follow our Savior Jesus Christ. I love you all, and I hope that you all have a great week.
