Hi momma!!! sorry that im so late, this week has been nuts!! even right now i dont have too much time, but im still good!! the baptism with Carlos went freakin perfectly!!! and then on Sunday i confirmed him a member, it was so cool!! haha, first blessing ive given in português, and i was super nervous, but it went pretty well i think! i dont remember much of it, but i kept saying how he would bless the lives of so many others, so we'll see how it all plays out!! haha(:

and about the boys i wanna know like inches!! haha, as long as theyre 5' 9" or under haha! but it dont matter, we had two other elders stay at our house last night before a big meeting we had today, and we all wrestled last night for like 2 hours... dont worry, i was champ(; i tapped out ever single elder, and the hardest one is about 6' 1" and 220 lbs who played football in high school and hasn't lost a single wrestling match on the mission haha(: and we got a few of them on video, and my SD card is full, so pretty soon here im gonna put it all on a thumb drive and send it all home to you guys(: 

and thank you so much for the syrup recipe haha, i gotta freakin try it out soon!!(: 

and sorry that i havent been sending scriptures or anything, i guess i just havent really been thinking about it much!! but ill start working on it!! but one i can leave with you now is the last chapter in the book of mormon, Moroni 10, mostly verses 3 - 5, this is one we use with all our investigators to help them gain a testimony, it can be really powerful if you put the effort and thought into it that it deserves(: 

but this coming up monday for sure ill have more time to send a good email so i will haha, but until then, i love you all!!!! 

one thing i hear this week that i really liked, "we're not humans having a spiritual expirience, but spirits having a human expirience", and for me it kinda gives me hope cuz i know where i come from, and that the base of me is rooted in righteousness (or however you spell it haha).

until monday!! love you guys!!(:

Zach's Latest Baptism
this was Carlos at his baptism!!! and this is Isabel (the member who brought Carlos to church for the first time about a month ago, and is also our maezinha or "português mission mom" haha) and then thats my comp Elder Barnhart!! haha, he's super sick, and he's only 5' 4" hahaha(:
