Carlos and Raquel were baptized on Saturday. Sitting here, thats the only thing that really comes to mind from this past week. Its still hard to grasp to be honest. We invited Pres Salinas because they wanted him to be there as well, and to our surprise he did come. We gave him the floor to talk to the packed house to melt everyones faces with some spiritual mojo, and he didnt dissapoint. He talked about, of all things, John the Baptist. He explained who he was and what he did. He explained how the people saw him, and his sacred power that he held that made it all possible. Then he got to the goods; Christs baptism. Then he talked about the need that we all have to do the same. It was an amazing talk that had everyone going for a while. Then we moved onto the baptism, and it couldnt have been better. I was asked to baptize Carlos, and Elder Higgy was asked to baptize Raquel. 

I feel overwhelmed, over joyed. This conversion was different, and I have tried for these past days to figure out why. We didnt do anything special really, we were just the mouth pieces. Not in a million years would I dare say that they got bapitzed because of Elder Higginson or I, but for the faithfulness of their son.  They finally found what they had been looking for for more than 20 years because their son did the right thing. We were just lucky enough to be here to see it all. All of the people I have seen has been very fufilling, but this one had a very special spirit. The longer the search, the greater the joy i guess.

Mexico is finally catching up with the states. We will very shortly start using mormon.org to teach and find people. The site is already up in spanish, but its incomplete. but in august it will be launched in many languages, and with Mitt Romney making a run at President, the first presidency and the 12 are pushing to get everything out on the table. The church is been investigated more than ever. Tell a friend!

Well thats about all I got this week. i know its short, but phone call is coming up. i cant beleive its already mothers day. It feels like we just talked like a month ago. But hey, whos complaining. I will talk to you guys Sunday! Paz.

Love,
