Well other week has flow by. It was a good one. To start, yes i did get the package and it was the shizzle. I loved it and especially all the ties and letters. It made me remember back in the MTC when you guys sent me of with all those wrapped ties with letters. Thank you so much to everyone. The cookies somehow managed to survive mom. The Lord wanted me to have those cookies, i know it. The clothes are really going to help to. I did give one of the new shirts to Carlos who was baptized 2 weeks ago. He already has the Aaronic priesthood and they are now preparing him to recieve the Melchisedec in June, so I gave him a fresh white shirt and told him what Dad always used to tell me growing up- "preisthood holders always wear a white shirt to church". He didnt have one and he was very grateful. he says thanks.
The festivities have begun. They started last night when Carlos and Raquel made us hamburgers for dinner and then surprised me and their sons girlfriend with a cake for our birthdays. It was way delish. I had like 20 different members come up and ask me in church "isnt it your birthday this sat?" and when i would say yes, they would just nod their head and walk away. Im terrified they are all going to make us food, because I will have nowhere to put it after the first couple meals. Not eating here isnt really an option. We will see how it goes.
We also had zone conference this past week, and they gave a bag of candy to everyone whos birthday it was from the past like 5 months. And the zone conference was pretty dope.
The two baptisms we have planned now for like 3 weeks should be going down this week. Umaro, the papa of the Guzman family is out of town right now for work, but should be back Wednesday. They are way stoked, and he already has mentioned to us how he wants a calling and asked if he could pay tithing even if he isnt a member. Its crazy to see so many of these people that find the pearl of great price midway through their lives and never take it for granted. It always makes me think about how Ive had the gospel my whole life and never even realized what I truly had. It nots everyday that you find people anxious for a calling or that cant wait to pay their tithing.
Well thanks to everyone that wished me a happy birfday! I dont feel 21, but hey, thats life. And I was sad to hear about Dianes father passing away. I always used to love getting to talk to him when he was over at Dahlins house when we were growing up. He always had the coolest things to tell us. My heart goes out to the Johnsons and Drapers.
Also a huge shout out to Ryan and Amy Fifield! I was thrilled to hear about the new baby! Thanks Courtney for sending the pics and info.
Well thats all that I got this week. Hope everyone is doing great, and a big hello to all the peeps (yes that means you). Lots of love.
Love,
Elder Kitterman
