Things are going well here in Las Lomas. As of now we have 3 people who are actually progressing to their baptism. We will have one, maybe 2 people baptized on the 8th (the same day that Marie is taking out her endownments!) So thats cool :) I'm super excited to see people get baptized, it's been a while. It's hard going for a long time without baptisms, so this will be very nice. Yea, all the people are people that I found with Elder Jenkins. It was hard to see him go, but I have contact with him which is nice. He is doing well, adjusting to the new life, haha.



The temple was really nice. We went as three zones together. It's way different in spanish (not really everything is the same of course), but at least this time around I was able to understand all most all of it.



Whoa, the time sure does fly, huh? I'll be finishing a year at the end of May (very beginning of June), who would've thought? Ha.



Yes the box got here, and all intact too! It was sweet, I've already eaten everything (I saved the eggs for last): I forgot how much I love those mint things. The cds are nice, listening to the same music over and over gets a little old, ha.

Elder Fuentes and I get along well, he is pretty funny. I'm living with 3 latinos now, a little hard sometimes (especially because they are pretty messy and don't like to clean) so I do most of it. But oh well, at least I'll be a pro when I get home, right?
Life is good here, I've been adjusting to my new companion. That can be really hard sometimes, but things have been going really well for Elder Fuentes and I. I do miss Elder Jenkins though...he is a very good buddy of mine now. I'll see him when I get home for sure. There are lots of Elders who have become great friends of mine here that I want to hang out with when I get home. Elder Mckay (my mission father) goes home at the end of this change. I will miss him a lot.


Umm, what else is new. Not much, things are cooling off here, it's great. But thank you so much for all the love and support. I pray for you all always and hope that you are all well and happy :) Keep up the faith, go to church ;) It's important. And fulfill your callings and assignments as best you can! Give the Lord all you can, and He'll take care of you :) Chao,Love,
Elder Jeffrey DeLong
