Letter from April 29th 2009!

OK so i had a pretty good week! So the heat has arrived!!! That is all I have to say! Remember last year I told you that I felt like im in a giant armpit! haha once again.... it is that hot and that humid out here. I love it for the most part. This week it has been like 90 degrees and humid as can be. So I have some news that really doesnt impact you in any way shape or form but one of our members has all of the movies that we can watch in spanish like cars, finding nemo, lion king, etc. So dont you worry we will be watching cars when we get home today. I cant wait! I freaking love that movie and the best thing is that it has some rascal flatts songs on it and if youre watching the movie you have to listen to them right!? haha it should be good. 
So this week was really good but some wierd crap happened! haha 
on thursday we had a bunch of tracting planned because we didnt really have any appointments planned but the lord provided and we ended up getting called by some members that needed translation at a tax office and also at a doctors appointment. So we ended up not tracting in 90 degree weather.. it was great! haha also on thrusday was brother conis's birthday. That old man that I sent you a picture of... him and I are in the picture, he turned 82! and he is still just kickin along. He is really like my grandpa! I love him. There are these way cool guys here in the english ward. There is two of them and only one is a member but is really actually chronically less active. Well he lives with his best friend. They are co-owners of a coffee shop slash bar/club thing in downtown. They are both way cool and told us that we could come in and eat there every meal a day if we needed. And that they will always be there to take care of us if anything happens... they are way way cool. Anyways on saturday we had to go and help them with their yard work because ken has a disease that his back is aging at twice the rate his body. he is like 42 and has the spine and back of a 80 year old! its bad, so we went and did a ton and ton of yard work! it was great. they fed us a huge bbq after words! Sunday was amazing! the bautista couple got baptized! they were sooooo freaking nervous! they were all just wandering around and couldnt hold still! it was great. the service was really really spiritual and we had amazing support from the branch. there were like 50 people there! it was great! I love having baptisms and especially when they all go well! it was really really great! I baptized one and my comp did the other. We have some pictures so I will be sending them off tomorrow. Also on sunday we had 8 investigators at church! that is soo good and im so excited for them. We have 3 baptisms set for this month, and are hoping for at least one more! it should be good! Well I have to go but all is going well here I really really wanted to tell you the story about how we got two of those three set for baptism but i'm completely out of time. I hope that you all have a wonderful week! I really appreciate all your support! it means a ton!!! TE AMO!!! 
con amor, elder jordan ray bishop
