This is from paul and sorry ive been busy with the play so i will start updating now again this is how his mission is going though!
hola!
ok so i dont have to much time to write but this week has been pretty awesome! scott was baptized last sunday! it was the most smoothly ran baptism i have ever had in my mission! well with one exception. some one pulled the plug to the font and so during the bishops introduction to the ward is was draining really really loud. but he played it off as a joke by saying the more sins you had the louder it is. it was really funny at the time and it really evened the mood. but it is always good to watch someone change thier lives. also we are teaching ken and dicie sizemore. she have been investigating the church for some time and are making steps to be baptized. we are hoping that it will happen this transfer. but that would be a miracle so please pray for them. but during this week we tracted into 2 awesome things. first off a nun convent! the nun were really nice! it just looked like a normal house from the outside but nope. needless to say they were not really interested in the book of mormon. also we were looking for a less active in this apartment complex. and at the front gate there was a call box with a screen so you could scroll thru the names of the people living there. and while we were looking for this less actives name we found the name Brantley. how awesome is that!? we tried calling it but no one answered. and we couldnt find the less active either. then this lady opened her window and asked us what we were doing. so we asked her if she knew the less active which she didnt. then i asked if she knew the brantleys. she said that they just moved like a week before but they were her neighbors apparently he is an african american man. but it is now my goal to find them and convert them! but that is about all i have time for but i miss you all and hope to hear from you soon! keep praying and keep the faith!
su cholo misionero,

letter from paul!
this is another letter from paul to you!
hey!
life here in K-town is awesome! my new companion is elder archibald. he is a newer elder from sandy utah!! thats right! haha but before his mission he was an EMT which means, if you roll your car he is the guy that shows up and keeps you alive till you get to the hospital! But with that training he is obligated to use it when it is need it. so he has a special pack with him all the time. and just the other night we were walking home. and there was a latino guy passed out on the side walk. so he went right to work. then i called 911. it was really cool to watch him work. they soon woke the guy up with some salts. but then we had to translate for him!! haha i love this work! but as far as the gospel work goes. we have some awesome prospects for this transfer. we already have one date for next week. plus some really strong investigators. so we are going to tear it up! our first night in the transfer we were walking around and we found a street vendor. we talked to her for a while. she seemed some what interested but we couldnt get a return appt. but she gave us free tamales! so at that point we decided that this was going to be a good transfer :) i hope all is well for you!
miss you!
