They gave me chocolate cake!

This week we had our first baptisms and rescued family! This couple got baptized on Sat. and got confirmed yesterday. After that, she got up and gave a beautiful testimony of how she gained a knowledge of the truth through the Book of Mormon. Her 15 year old daughter also came to church for the first time and enjoyed it. We´re hoping she and the rest of their children will join them in the future in the wonderful covenant.

My birthday was actually quite fun. We went for a hike up in the mountains, did a little trail-blazing, saw some ancient ruins.

My district´s great. They gave me chocolate cake!

 Then we went for pizza in the night which is apparently the best pizza place in the mission, it was alright, and the other missionaries bought me a cake (which they shoved my face into when I blew out the candles, waited for me to get cleaned up, and then all smudged more cake on my face). Then, as we left, they all cracked eggs on my head and threw cake at me. Then we ran into some of our investigators and they probably thought we were drunk. Anyways, we´re doing great in our area. We´re seeing a lot of success.  I hope all is going well and you´re enjoying the Summer heat! Ha!
Much love,
Elder Alexander
