Hello everyone! Sounds like the 4th of July was a blast for you all. Mine wasn´t too bad either. We ate with a guy from Provo that has lived here ten years. Dominos Pizza baby! So it almost felt like home. And the night before there were some big ol fireworks I could here but couldn´t see. So yeah, it was a little different but kind of the same. I can´t believe I´m in the last week of my first transfer. Its true the time flies out here. President Graf said the first year would crawl by but it seems like its going fast to me! I met President Hinckley this week and it was amazing. We had a meeting to get to know him and right when he walked in the room and I saw him, I knew he was meant to be my mission president. He is actually a funny guy. A missionary asked what it was like to have your dad as the prophet. He said when he was growing up, his dad wasn´t a prophet. They were just a normal family trying to do their best. He said something really funny too. He said "We had family home evening...sometimes". Everybody bust up laughing. I am really looking forward to serving the rest of my mission with him. As for the work, we are really close to getting some baptisms! One couple has their papers to get married and they are going to be setting a baptismal date any day now! My companion might be transfered to another area before it happens though. We also eat with this family every week from our ward. The Ferreyros. One of the daughters has a boyfriend and he comes to eat with us now and said he has been thinking about getting baptized! I´m really excited and I can´t wait to see it all fall into place. I don´t feel like I´m doing too much to help them along because of the language barrier but I´m trying to do my best. I get frustrated with myself sometimes haha. I want to do more but I keep reminding myself it will all come with time. Well I better go. Thank you all for your support and love. It means the world to me. I love you all. Love, Elder Langston
