Last P-day at the CCM!

Hello! Last P day at the CCM. I leave on Saturday for the highest pass in the world, where it is very likely that I will either vomit or pass out. haha. I was talking to a lady on the bus this morning and she said shes been a few times, but she only went by train. Because everyone throws up on the bus. So, I look forward to that. I want to hear all about your halloween! Pictures are absolutely acceptable. You should start sending me pictures every week, in fact. I miss your faces. This week was great. Im really in the groove of everything now that I have to leave. We teach lessons here with fake investigators (our teachers in disguise) and one of ours is named _______.

We were meeting with him and teaching him the Word of Wisdom, when he brought up that he has an addiction to coffee. I said "Oh! I have a great scripture for you. Would you read here please?" (in spanish, of course) I meant to give him Revelation 3 20-21, but I told him to read Revelation 3 2-3 on accident. Look those up. Big difference. He broke caracter and had a laughing attack. I did too, when I realized, rather than giving him a scriptrure about how the Lord will reward those who overcome, I gave him a scripture that told him to repent or God will kill him. At least it wasnt a real lesson. Me and my companions taught a couple investigators this week too. They asked us a few questions about the church and stuff. I didnt really understand the situation. I thought it was a practice, so I wasnt taking it seriously. At the end, we all bore our testimonies, and then I kind of jokingly asked "Would you like to get baptised now?haha" They looked at eachother and were silent for a moment. Awkward pause. Then one said "Si" and the other one nodded and said "Si" as well. I laughed and congradulated them and then we said our goodbyes. Ten minutes later, I find out that I just commited my first baptisms..... and I wansnt even trying. So, good week, basically. I havent been sleeping well at night though. I keep waking up multiple times throughout the night. The counselor gave me some Advil PM, after doubling my Melatonin dosage didnt help much. So, well see how that works. We get like 4 hours of Personal study time every day. I keep nodding off. It helps reading Proverbs and racking my brain trying to figure out what they mean. Proverbs 25:11. Im working on that one. I sent a letter on Monday. Let me know when you get it. I still havent recieved yours, but not many people here have. Some get here faster than others for some reason.

Anyways, I love you all so much! Keep me updated on everything. Miss you tons.

Mucho amor,

-Elder Alexander
