Hey All!

So we had a great week full of little blessings. We were finally able to baptize John Lennon!!!!!!!  I really feel like we have been working hard for a long time but it has been so hard to finalize a baptism however I really feel like we are going to have lot of success in the next few weeks.

We have one invest. who's name is Sergio he is awesome. He's the guy who showed up at our house. He is really interested and he has received an answer, however we found our problem. Here, a lot of people live together and say they are married but they aren't legally married. So when we met him we asked if he was married and he said yes however after a long lesson on the law of chastity we discovered that he is not legally married. He said that he is not going to marry her and he is in fact thinking of separating. He really wants to be baptized and has asked several times if I can just baptize him but, who knows we will just have to wait and pray and I am sure it will all work out.

We also have another young man who has received an answer and wants to be baptized but we just have to wait a little bit. He came to church yesterday and the baptismal font was full and he thought it was the day of his baptism haha after I told him no we have to wait a little and talk with your parents he said that he is ready to be baptized next week. So we will see if it all works out. 

Anyways we have a lot of other people but I don't have enough time to tell the story of everyone. I am super happy with my comp and I think we are going to stay friends for a long time. I am loving life and wouldn't want to be in any other mission in the world. I really am starting to feel at home in this great big city. hahaha This week we had to go to the mission office to get a vaccine shot and interviews with President, I kept thinking about my first day when I was so nervous and didn't know anything. Now I am getting it all figured out. I feel comfortable running around the city with all the subways and buses and trains haha I am getting down. 

I can't believe I have 7 months in the mission!!! Time is flying by! I have not completed half of the things I would have liked to but I am working to get there. I am happy and always progressing. That's all for this week, I'll save some stories for our talk next Sunday. 

Bom semana,

Elder Millard
