Hoping to Baptize Rita

Hey, yesterday I had to do audits, too. It took 4 long hours! Oh my goodness. It was horrible, but we got it done. Now I know how to do everything, so it will be more organized next time, at least while I am here. After that, I don't know what will happen.  Yesterday we had some cool experiences. Jario, a young kid, just got back from EFY. He had a dream, and I think he is thinking more about a mission now. He is a good kid. It's just really tough to be his age in the church here. There isn't even a young men's leader, so we are going to try to get him going so he can leave on a mission. So Rita sewed her baptismal clothing and everything, so next Saturday we will are going to baptize her if everything goes good. All the activities that we were doing at the church has come to a stop. The members have been really lazy, so until they start cleaning the church and all that stuff, we have stopped the activities. Saturday we had an activity of rescue and no one from the branch showed up. One guy came. It was so embarrassing, but we could still do a lot of work with him. So tomorrow we have to go to Vina for my companion. Next Wednesday we are going to La Serena, so I am excited for that. I have only been up there once and it was like the third week of my mission, so I am excited to go see it again. 

No, I haven't gotten the package yet. We haven't had zone conferences or anything like that, so I don't know. It might be a while before I get it,  but it's ok. After this package, I wouldn't send any more stuff.  I might not get it before I come home.  

That is really cool about Utah.  And all that  snow, I am missing the snow right now. It will be a while before I will get to see snow again. Other then that, I can't remember much more of what we did. That is so funny about Madyn singing in Smith's.  Have a good week.

Love,

Elder Gillies
