ELDER CANYON ATWOOD

Hola Texas,

So I guess I will be writing in English today.  I don't really know why but last week I just woke up and was like I'm gonna write my family in Spanish today so ya I hope you enjoyed  my letter.  I don't know if y'all understood any of it.  Well this week the sisters and 3 baptisms go down the toilet through no fault of there own but this is what happened.  Cinthia is 12 got scared of getting her head and face wet she still wanted to get baptized but she was crying like crazy and didn't want her head to go under.  I think the hermanas may have said that she has a fear of drowning so I don't really know.  The other two Marlene and Jesus are this couple that have come along way and let me say interviewing them was not fun and well the munipalidad siad they could get married and that all their papers were cool and we even double checked it and ya all good well they went to the wedding in their dress and suit their family was there and just waiting for the best day ever and guess what happened the municipalidad said no and i was like what the heck.  Anyway we have this investigator Gladys that got baptized Saturday morning at 10 am.  Well only 1 member came and it was the bishops dad.  The dud doesn't even have a calling.  I was mad cuz we had been telling the ward about this baptism for a month we announced it in ward council we announced it in sacrament meeting we told people 3 days before the baptism we told people 3 hours before and they all said ya cool I'll be there.  Anyway well Glady;s couldn't get confirmed basically its a long story but what happened was she sells for a living she delivers like this monthly package to this dud and its her monthly income she doesn't make the sell she and her kids don't eat so ya/  She is getting confirmed this week.  We have been teaching this lady Guadalupe and her husband Ugenio they are like in their 80s.  Well the lady is cool and wanted to get baptized but she didn't come to church so later yesterday we go to her house to find out why she didn't go and well she is the first person with a good excuse.  She was her funeral.  I just got a kick thinking what I put in the area book.  Why did you leave the investigator?  She died.  Well me ad my comp have been knocking doors to find new investigators well that is the only way the my comp likes to contact and we have been doing that for 3 weeks like 2 hours a day and the area I'm in is richer and its like gated off so ya we haven't found 1 new investigator.  I told my comp dud were wasting time knocking door.  I told him dud I don't wanna knock 1 more door.  Se we go and we found this lady Magonoly right she is like 40 and is married.  She and her husband are members but have 3 daughters that are 17, 15, and 9 that want to get baptized.  Gotta go
