Hello

Holy cow Ryan Niederer is coming home from his mission already! That is nuts. I have a question for you.  Next time you are out of town could you get me an under armor jacket like Dads.  I need one that  sheds the rain off.  It needs to be all black and has to have a hood. I know you just sent me a package and I feel super bad for even asking because you just sent one, but the rain just goes right through my coat.  Then it's wet like for like three days. You can take the money out of my account. I don't care. I have looked here and they have stuff, but it's super expensive and not good quality. I will tell you when I get the packages. I can only get then when my district leader goes to Vina or to conference which is once a month. We have one tomorrow, so maybe it will be there tomorrow. 

So I get a call from the secretary last week and they lost a paper so I can t get my visa till I get that paper back to them. So I have to figure all that fun stuff out today.  I am not really looking forward to that. My new companion, we get along really good and he is a hard worker. You can tell he is form America because I lent him some money, and he has already paid me back and the other elders haven't. 

We have a nine year old with a date for baptism so hopefully he comes two more times to church. Then we can get another baptism. Then yesterday, I finally got to confirm Raquel. She was late to the meeting because she forget to change her clock, but its all good. Then i got to help with a baby blessing of the Menos Activos.  He is really cool and the baby was way good.  it just sat there the whole time. Then we taught one girl last night that is very promising and i feel really good about her. It's getting close to their independence day down here so the next few weeks should be pretty crazy. Have a good week.

Love,

Elder Gillies
