Hey Mom,


I have been absolutely great this week!! it went by really fast, weeks feel like days now. i worked in a different area in my zone for 2 days, one was to do something special and the other was because it was the area that was having the least amount of success. so i went to the area and told them to plan to go with all the best possibilities for baptism. well i went and talked to all the investigators about their baptism and by the end of the day we had put four baptismal dates, 2 that were for sure that day and the other 2 were to be prayed about and the next time the elders pass by they will tell them the answer that they recieved. it was a super powerfull day i felt really good and best of all i was helping elders in the zone help their investigators, and now on the other hand my area is super hard and people could accept to be baptized but dont do anything to get baptized they might have faith but the faith without works is dead and thats how most of the people in my area are, however this next saturday we had a baptism planned for a guy that recently stopped drinking i've been working with him the whole time i have been in this area. and my last saturday the 25th the elders in my first area (colombia) have an investigator that is going to get married with a member and she wants me to baptize her so i have a baptism lined up for every saturday the rest of my mission. its a great feeling and a great way to go out. sometimes it makes me want to stay here a little longer, but unfortunately the time has to end. this week it probably only rained 2 days its been dry, i've been getting some sun it feels so good after it raining every day the past month. its good news that the worst of the rain season has passed it should be fine by the time you get down here. i talked to president torres and i'm going to go to the airport to greet you and be with you and on wednesday the 29th there is the transfer conference and i will give my last testimony and president said that you guys can come with me, i'll have one of the elders translate for you if you want.

its good to hear that all is well in the family.  i dont know what MRSA is, but i hope nicki and little lewis get well soon because its not fun being sick, especially for a newborn. there are two sisters in the ward that had babies in august and everytime i see them i think of lewis :) it sounds like there have been quite a bit of missionaries coming home i always like the seasons when missionaries come home.

i love you very much and hope you have a good week and in two weeks you will be down here, email any final questions of what your not sure of to bring, just to get everything all ready. i love you and truly miss appreciate everything you did and currently do. the church is true.

Con amor,
Elder Spencer Karr
