Hola Familia

It was great to get to read all your letters. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I can't believe in 2 days I will be 20. I can't believe in a month I will be half was through my mission, its gone so fast.

Today we got to go to the Tutankhamen or king tut museum with my companion. It was cool. If you know your history (religious) you can see all the connections with the gospel. They believed in a white feathered snake that descended from the heavens and it just turns out that one of the symbols for Jesus Christ is a snake, funny how that the devil used that image. There is tones of connections like that here.
               
We have found some really cool people this week. We found an ex Jehovah witness who got excommunicated for getting married again. Something normally fine, but has absolutely loved all the stuff we have shared with her. We also have found a family of 4 that is just way sweet. The mom has read the first part to the Book of Mormon, the cover page, the testimonies, and the introduction. We shared Alma 32 with them and showed them how they had already gained a testimony. We also last night found a young women that wanted to get baptized about 2 years ago and couldn't get permission from her dad, but now almost is 19. She has friends that are either on a mission or going on a mission. We have been supper blessed this week. Thank you for your prayers.

Sounds like everything is going well at home.
Thanks for all your letters family and friends! Things are going great.

Love you all forever
