We helped this wonderful family baptize their son two weeks ago. He just turned eight years old and we began to teach him, then he was interviewed by our wonderful Bishop. They are so fun and totally remind me of James and Spencer.

 Baptizing on his birthday the 11 of January. What a spiritual fun day it was Saturday. We baptized Armando a wonderful young man who is preparing to go on a mission in one year. He started reading the Book of Mormon before he met the missionaries, and then he finished it and moved onto the Doctrine and Covenants and in only 35 sections away from finishing it. He is a spiritual giant and I am proud of him.

Funny expiernce that happened the other day... haha!!

So it was 4 days after the changes and my new amazing extraodern companion Elder Compton from utah and I were sound asleep friday night. it was his fourth day of him  being in nicaragua because he is new and so we were both super exhausted and sleeping in the early morn, when all of a sudden I awoke suddenly for some reason and I didn´t really know why but I could hear this small noise and then I was just laying there thinking on my bed when all of a sudden I reliazed that there was a reflection on the ground in our room and I realized that our whole apartment was filled up with WATER!! haha!! ....craziest thing right.... haha!!

SO I run to the bathroom half asleep to find that the bathroom pipe had a leak and there was just a little bit of water spraying out the side so. I found the spot and stopped it and by then my companion was up and we began to have a 2 aclock in the morning cleaning party. (Those are the best parties) Haha!! the good part was it only got one of our suitcases soaking wet and that there wasn´t anything destroyed, and after it was cleaned our house was a lot lot cleaner. haha! I think it was the way the lord was trying to let us know that we needed to clean our room more. haha! 

But the moreal of the story is you always have to be ready at what life throws at you. (Or a flood like noah.. :) 

I can´t send the video because it is to big but when I get back all have to show you it was halioruos. Got to love rainy days...It wasn´t from the rain but the bathroom pipe that flooded the house but we got it all fixed now and we haven´t seen anyproblems. But good times
