Well what do I even talk about??? I just don't really have much to say because... you know I will be home in about 2 weeks. Crazy. It still hasn't hit me. The time is still flying by. I still don't even think I am going home. It always has to be other people that remind me. Everytime we arrive to an appointment or go visit a member they are just bugging me "ooooohhh how much time do you have left?" Sometimes they don't help...but the truth is we are doing pretty good. </div>

This week was a bit sad for us and for a lot of the members here. This week one of the long time San Juan members, the one that was sick that payed her tithing to us, passed away on Wednesday. It was a really humbling experience as I gave her the last blessing she received in this world. We then had to help with everything for her funeral because the elders here in San Juan basically do everything for the lack of members and support. Including this week, we had to both talk in sacrament meeting and count tithing. Well we are really trying to come up with a plan for San Juan so we can have real growth and not just baptisms. This week it really came out into the light that nobody, even the leaders here, know the doctrine of the church. so we talked about maybe putting a branch of institute here in San Juan so that the people would really open up the scriptures. Evidence of the lack of reading and doctrinal knowledge is the baptism when the member of 30 years who goes to the temple many times a week, didn't know how to baptize, didn't even know that we had to start with a prayer or when a sister of 25 years asked the sisters why do they always give their baptisms to the elders. Why don't the sisters baptize them??? are you kidding me??? Well I really do love San Juan and that's why I care. The people here are so humble and have a ton of faith they just can't leave what the world offers. It's sad. </div>

This week we found a really cool investigator named A--. He just got back from the United States after being there 16 years. We found him at the funeral of sister Soledad. It was so weird because he has seen movies about the church that normally only members have seen, like Charly, Gods Army and a bunch of others. He said that he has lots of friends that are members and wants to get to know the church with his whole family. He is a really genuine guy.He is cool. The Lord always has prepared people for the missionaries. Sometimes it's the missionaries or the members that aren't prepared to do the work of salvation. Well my 2 years are coming to an end but I am so thankful for the opportunity that my family and the Lord gave to me to serve my Guatemalan brothers. Talk to you next week.<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1412086549876_170915">

First of all, let's just say we had to stay in the house for 2 entire days for protesting in Guatemala. It's because the government wants to change the corn seed that they use but everyone is against it. So here in san Juan they blocked all of the exits and closed all of the stores and everything. They are actually pretty violent and for that reason we didn't leave our house for those days but we lived. Sad to say that they are going to start tomorrow again. So we bought a bunch of water and food for the next couple of days. They told us that these same protest went on for 20 days in Peru so we are going to see how it goes. Other than that we had a pretty normal week. I really don't have much to say other than I love you guys so much and can't wait to see you.</div>

Well this week was really uneventful. My comp and I had to go to Xela almost every day of this week and then for Independance day they told us that we have to be in the house at 6:00 for all of the parties. So needless to say it was a really uneventful week. Here in San Juan there are just hundreds of drunk people all over. </div>

Really this week was a pretty awful week here in San Juan. Let's just say that in church we started 45 minutes late, we had an assistance of 35 and some members got in a fight and a family said that they are never going to church again. There is a part of me that wanted to tell them, "Fine, because Christ isn't looking for half-disciples. He has plenty of those, better if you just leave." hahaha I just had to vent and get a bit of frustration out. It was a rough week.</div>

Well Family how has it been? Everything is just great here in the Mainland of the Lamanites. Sometimes we meet members from the coast here and they always ask us "How do you feel to work with the purest Lamanites left?' Its pretty cool I guess. I wouldn't trade it for anything........ in spite of a messed up leg. hahahaha<br />

Well first off my comp finishes his mission tomorrow so this week was a lot of good byes and preparing to go home, but we still worked and were able to even have a baptism. Huh, funny story... well for the baptism we decided it would be better to have someone from San Juan baptize L--. What we didn't account for was the lack of experience that the members have here. So we asked brother J-- to baptize him. J-- has been a member for 25 years and his dad was the ex branch president. He even goes to the temple one time a week every week for the whole day. We thought it would be a breeze. Well it was time for the baptism to start so we told them<br />

to change into their white clothes for the baptism. My comp and I sat back down in the room where we were waiting to start. It took a while, so we decided to go check on them. When we turned the corner they were both already in the baptismal font. So, I looked at my comp and I was like, "You have got to tell them that we need to start with a hymn and a prayed and talks and everything." I was just laughing so hard. Then it got to the baptism part, which couldn't have gone any worse. I will just say a little bit and then let you imagine the rest. Well let's just say he plugged his nose with his left hand. (How? I have no idea.) He took about 3 steps back and it was just a miracle that his head didn't crack open on the wall. I don't know if it actually made contact with the wall but I also didn't have the guts to ask. Well now that that was all over.....the rest of the week was pretty good.<br />

This week the zone had really good dats. I would have to credit it to the zone meeting that we had a couple of weeks ago. On multiple occasions this week we asked why are your dats so good or how did you find so many news? The response was, "Well we made a covenant with the Lord." Sooo... that is what I wanted to hear.</div>

I was really impacted by a quote that I heard last week which has helped me to change my style of leadership. "There is no place in your teaching for gimmicks, fads, or bribery by favors or treats. Such produce no lasting motivation for personal growth nor any enduring beneficial results." Richard G. Scott That quote really had me thinking this week on how are you supposed to motivate a wild group of missionaries. That is why we started the plan of Alma 46 and the covenants because that is something that truly promotes personal growth it has helped me a lot. It is really a hard subject to figure out but that is the fun of it.</div>

Well family this week was really uneventful. The truth is it is even hard for me to start this letter. But this week started out pretty good with the zone meeting that we had. My comp and I had been preparing this meeting for about a month. First of all, with the recent change of mission president we no longer have a slogan for the mission so my comp and I made one, but it is just for the zone. After much pondering and meditation we felt we wanted to relate it with Moroni and the Title of Liberty. We then read the scriptures that are in Alma 46:19-22. </div>

We encouraged the missionaries to make that same covenant with the Lord. We then shared 2 very powerful messages about consecration. I cried in my own message and I felt the Spirit so strong. We are trying to help the new missionaries in the zone learn the ins and outs of missionary work early so they can start to have success. Well as of right now, in 2 months I will be on a plane heading back to the factory of missionaries... thats what they say down here about Utah.</div>

Well first of all sorry. I don't have anymore photos of cowboy Reinhold... But it was a pretty good week. These past couple of weeks have been a miracle for the missionaries and a disaster for the Guatemalans. Great for us because we can work without having to get wet, but horrible for them because the corn is drying out. It is their life. This week was pretty normal. Sorry I have to go. I spent all my time transferring all of my mission photos to my hard drive. I love you guys so much and will talk to you next week.</div>

For those of you who don't know me I am Elder Reinhold. I am currently serving in the Guatemala Quetzaltenango mission (The Mountains of Guatemala) I am going to be returning home in October. I am a cousin of Carter. First of all it is just so weird that Carter is going to be baptized... when I left he seemed like a little kid and now he is growing up. Well I would love to be there but I will have to settle for pictures. I just want to say the sometimes in Utah we take our baptism for granted. Its just another step in our lives like starting kindergarten or getting a drivers license. That's all it was for me before I arrived in the mission. Once I arrived in the mission I figured out that baptism is the best thing that I have to offer to the people of Guatemala. Money is temporary, food is temporary, my friendship is temporary even relationships in the church are temporary but baptism and reception of the holy ghost is something that will open the gates of heaven for them, all of the poverty and sicknesses that they have here will be the last thing on their mind. Carter remember this day for the rest of your life. I still remember the day of my baptism. This is the most important thing you can do right now. You have great parents who have guided you to the right path now you just have to keep on the good path. I love you man and cant wait to see you in 3 months. Love you guys so much.</div>

Well this week went by really fast. The weeks just feel like days, I'm serious. It's crazy. This week was really just an average week. Well the week did start out pretty good. We finally entered into the chuj. It was just like a sauna but you are just constantly pouring water over yourself to wash the sweat off. (Yummy.) All was going well in the chuj until one of the kids with us threw a bucket of water on the hot rocks and it was a steam explosion... every body ran out of the chuj as fast as they could but I just put my hands over my face and prayed. Let's just say it hurt, but it was worth it. We are going to try to do the chuj every week it is actually really nice. You feel so clean after.</div>

This is a tradition that they have here. This is one of the giants. This one is actually really small. I saw a couple that were probably 12 to 14 feet tall. The game is that the kids run and the giants have to hit them with the stick they have attached to their arm. Every year at least a few kids leave with bloody faces. This week for p day we went and did a zipline. It all went good other that one of the new sisters in our zone fainted on the zipline but don't worry, she's fine.</div>

I have been a bit down lately with the situation here in San Juan but I am doing just fine now. I just decided that I cannot change how people think but that I can do my part so I can stand before the judgement bar with my hands clean and a clean conscience like it says in the scriptures. I am just going to start to love the people and try to create leaders for the branch. I know that it is, according to the knowledge of the world, impossible, but I will start and the Lord will finish. </div>

Right now my comp and I are focusing on the possible leaders in San Juan. As for the zone we are doing good. Last month we baptized the most in the whole mission and looks like this month we are going to do the same. bbbbbbuuuuttttttt we are a little bit worried because we are going to have our whole zone training missionaries this change, That means no experience soo my comp and I are working to try to make a plan to help the newbies get a hold of the mission. It is going to be a little bit interesting. My comp is going home this change and then I am going home the next. All I can say is poor guy who is going to be my comp for the last change... no just kidding. </div>

Well I'm not going to lie to you guys I really don't have anything to talk about anymore. The culture is normal to me so nothing is really interesting. I am to the point where I am Guatemalan. I find my self buying food like the Guatemalans, I talk like the Guatemalans, I have even picked up the "Hora Chapin" (Guatemalan hour). In my house i was never late to anything and now if I'm a half hour late it doesn't even phase me. I now crave tortillas with my food, I put ketchup on my pizza (yuck), a snack that cost 50 cents is a rip off, I can't eat anything if its not spicy... I am just all messed up, so it will be fun getting used to the US culture again. </div>

This week was a good week. Today we played soccer against Xela Oeste. We are both part of the same stake so there is always a lot of competition between us. This month we tied for baptisms (11) so we had a soccer match to see who won...and we won 6-2. They were really bummed. We acutally have a really good team. We are both already so sore. I love you guys so much and in 3 months from today I will be hugging you guys.<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406501669430_5102">

Well let me just start out wow the earthquake this morning was so strong I went running out in the street. They told us that it was 7.1... Well needless to say we now don't have power, and that means that the water will go out in about 5 hours. Who knows when we will have it again. Our branch president just called us and told us that we have to go to the aldeas (villages) to see if all of the members are ok. </div>

This week I found out that I might be staying in San Juan for the rest of my mission. It is not for sure, but we will see. This week was absolutely great and also horrible. My companion and I were sick all week. It's just like a common cold but it is so hard to get rid of because as missionaries we are always getting wet and always in the cold. All the members just tell us why are you guys outside you need to be in bed sleeping all day. Well its a good thing that we have a conscience or we would be in bed all day sleeping, but like we always say "La Obra del Señor no se para." "The work doesn't stop."</div>

The great part of this week is that we were able to go to the temple. MY FIRST TIME IN 22 MONTHS. It was great. It was such a relief. I can't even tell you. I felt so rejuvenated when we left. It made me realize what power the temple gives us. I want to make it a priority when I get back to go to the temple once a week at least. </div>

This week was pretty uneventful. The truth is that I really don't have anything to write these days. I guess you could say the big news is that we met the new mission president today. President called me when he was in the airport in Panama and thanked me for all of my work. I was a little bit sad when it finally hit me that President Bautista is gone. Today we met the new mission president. He is really nice but seems very serious. He is super spiritual. Well my time has run out but I love you guys.</div>

It was really fun. I killed Elder T--. I hit the poor kid like 3 times in the neck and one time in the back of the head. I told him it was for sleeping in and not reporting the dats like he should. I was just joking, but kind of serious.<br />

Well I'm sure you guys are wondering about the picture of my comp and I with an old lady in the hospital bed. This was a great experience that I had. It was a little bit scary. We received a call that Sister Soledad was sick and had been calling for the Elders all day. So my companion and I went to visit her. Her family told us that she was angry with her family because she was going to die before we could visit her. We got there and she just started to cry. We talked to her and we shared a message and then she did something that I will never forget. She started to struggle to open a little bag that had a zipper. She finally opened it and took out 1 quetzal which is 10 cents in dollars, She gave it to us with tears in her eyes and told us that it was her tithing. Tears then rushed to my eyes. The parable of the widow's mite came to my mind. She was a faithful member all of her life. She is still fighting pneumonia and is getting a tiny bit better. I gave her a blessing and in almost all of the blessing that I have given in my mission that are like that the Lord always tells me what is going to happen but I was just waiting and waiting in the blessing for it to come but it didn't. It made me think that its hard for me to pay my tithing and this poor lady that has almost nothing willingly gives it with a heart of gratitude. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you so much for all of the support you guys have given me. We will probable have the opportunity to meet the new mission president this week. My comp and I just have a little bit of time left in the mission but we made a covenant with the lord to work as hard as we can until we finish. I love all of you guys so much thanks...</div>

Wow! Kyler is now a missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so cool! We now have 3 Reinholds in the mission. Well the good news is that I don't have changes. I will still be a San Juanero for 6 more weeks. I am happy about that because I feel like still have work to finish here. My comp also passed the changes without damage. So we are happy to still be here in San Juan. </div>

The zone is going to have some good changes that will help us out. This week is really sad because our mission president, President Bautista, is going to have his going home conference. I have learned a lot from him, he truly is a man called of God. I love him so much. But that is how it goes. It is going to be a little weird to finish up my mission with a different president. I really just don't have anything to say anymore... sorry. And sorry, this week my camera memory was still messed up so I was not able to take photos but this week I will fix it.</div>

Wow! First of all, I just want to say how exciting it is that Kyler leaves this week. He is going to be a great missionary. I am so excited that he is going to have the opportunity to rock the nametag as well. It is going to be hard because I won't see him for almost 4 years. But don't worry Ky you have the best family to support you in the mission and a brother finishing the mission. Love you Man. </div>

Sorry, this week I was not able to take pictures because my memory card got all messed up, but next week hopefully I will have pictures again. This week I heard a really cool story. There is a sister in the branch that used to give lunch and wash the clothes of the elders. She said that one time she was passing some really hard times in her life. Her husband was in the United States without work and before he left they had purchased a house here in San Juan. It turned out that the house was sold to 2 separate people. The sister was really scared for how it would turn out because the other people had put more money down on the house. So the missionaries came to her house for lunch and she told the missionaries the situation she was in and when the Missionary, Elder Brown, heard that he said, "Sister, I am going to fast right now until you know that this house is yours." He fasted 2 days and came back and said that the house was hers and that the Lord would provide. It turned out that the papers she had were more authentic and she kept the house. She had tears in her eyes when she told us the story. When we walked out of the house my comp told me he would have said, "Well Sister, let us know where you move to so we can still come for lunch." I said that maybe I would have said, "We can help you move, Sister." But that is an example of what real faith is. We should ask ourselves if we really have faith? This story motivates me to be better and to have more faith. Let us all have working faith and put everything in the Lord's hands. I love you guys so much and thanks for everything. Good luck Kyler!</div>

Well this week was kind of a bummer, but you just got to keep going. This week we were going to baptize R--. We had the interview and everything ready but his Catholic grandma called us and was not okay with him being baptized. We went and talked with the grandma and she is kind of interesting, but I think that he will be able to be baptized in June. We also have some other people who are going to be able to be baptized in June. This month the zone did really badly. We are a bit frustrated because we are doing everything that we can and the zone is not getting better but President just told us to be patient and it will pay off. </div>

One sad thing is that my previous companion Elder Medina is going home this week. He needs to have a surgery and is going to have it done in Peru and then he is going to come back to the mission. Sorry I don't have a lot to write because I just don't have the time to plan my letters. I will write a story or something next week.</div>

Well family, this week went by so quick it was not even funny. I barely even felt it. It is because we were so busy all week. I don't really remember what we did but every day we were running all around the zone to do all sorts of stuff. We were making invitations for baptisms and for activities. Today, for p-day, we had a cooking competition as a zone. It was really fun. My comp and I made Cafe Rio burritos. They were actually really good, but we did not win. It was so funny because there was a missionary who barely put any time into his food and he won. We took 2nd place.</div>

The rain has finally started and wow, it is destroying us. Sometimes my 8 inch boots can't even help me. My new comp and I are getting along really well. He is a funny guy, and he is really laid back and has a lot of patience. Sorry I don't have a lot to write. You guys should ask me questions so I have something to write about. I love you guys so much. I'll be waiting for your questions...</div>

Hey family,<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well this week was really good. We kind of talked about everything in the call home thing. But I will still give an overview of the week for those who were not there. This week we had a baptism. Finally E-- was baptized. He is the dad of the family we have been working with. And after the baptism one of the kids said, "I want to be baptized." It was really awesome! We have the parents baptized, now we just need to work a little bit with the kids and we should have the whole family baptized. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week the zone finally started to get in gear and all the missionaries are all working great. This week I had a really weird experience. I prepared a talk for the zone meeting that we had. But when we arrived at the church I started to have a really heavy feeling like I had a huge burden. I quickly found out from the Spirit that it was because I was supposed to call the zone to repentance. I am not normally ever nervous to talk in public but I was so nervous. So the scriptures from Alma 34 came to my head and so I bagged the talk that I prepared and went up and called them to repentance because the Lord wanted them to repent. Wow that was a really heavy crucial powerful feeling that we all had, but after the meeting many of the missionaries told me that that is what they needed to hear and that they had not been working very hard. After, I felt a lot better. This week it was a little hard in church because we spoke in the sacrament meeting then we taught gospel principles and then we always teach priesthood. Well, it was good to talk to you guys for the last time through Skype. Next time it will be in person. jajajaja. I love you guys, and thank you for everything.</div>

That's My Boy!<span style="font-size: large;">May 11, 2014</span><br />
<br />
Post from Elder Reinhold's mom:<br />
<br />
As most of you know, we only get to speak to our missionaries on the phone or via Skype twice per year, on Christmas Day and Mother's Day. So, these holidays become even more special. So on Mother's Day we spoke to Jake and we talked about his mission, how everything is going, also, about what he is looking forward to when he comes home, etc. <br />
<br />
He told us a story that really made me laugh because it is so Jakob. First I need to preface by telling you some stories about how smart he is. He is a really fast thinker. He was probably 2 1/2 years old when he pushed his baby brother, who was still crawling, down the stairs. He had done it before and had gotten in serious trouble. This time his dad was home and after he pushed Kyler, Jakob made a frantic mad dash for his room. When his dad rounded the corner, he found Jakob on his bed arms outstretched, head back like Quasimoto, yelling "Saaaannnctuarry!! Saaaaanctuarrryy!!" It worked. His dad burst into laughter, which definitely softened his punishment.<br />
<br />
There are several stories about Jakob, the negotiator. When he was 3 we wanted him to trade his blanket for a bike. On the spot he countered our offer with "Two bikes." He didn't need two bikes but he wasn't just gonna take the deal we were giving him. Around the same age, he had a healthy Oedipal complex. He went on for weeks about marrying me. I kept explaining the situation and how life works. Finally one day, it was starting to sink in but he gave it one last try. "Mom, please marry me?" I explained it again and he replied with, "Okay, then how about a chocolate shake?"<br />
<br />
He was always way too smart. We went on a trip the week after he turned 5. At one point, he had gotten in trouble and wasn't allowed to go into the store with his dad and little brother. He was throwing a tantrum. Then it was like a switch went off and he was cool as a cucumber and we had approximately the following conversation:<br />
<br />
Jake: You know Mom, we should really go in there.<br />
Me: We should. Why is that?<br />
Jake: Dad might find another wife while he's in there.<br />
Me. Oh, yeah? Why would he do that?<br />
Jake: Ohhhh, he just might find someone prettier.<br />
<br />
It didn't work, but it was a really good try. The other intersting thing about Jakob, who deals in goods, is that if he takes advantage of you or hurts you he will come back and try to give you something he owns to make up for it. He doesn't get attached to his things because he is always making money and then buying and selling things. It is just what he does. It was just last week when his brother brought this up while recalling an situation. Jakob had said something mean and then tried to give Kyler a stereo to make it all better....not to earn his trust, but because he honestly is sorry and he figures he'll just get a new one. It is easy for him.<br />
<br />
All these skills contribute to him his ability to sell you on something. He is persuasive and I've been on numerous occasions, tenacious. He is such a strategic thinker it is hard for him to lose board games. You might recall, from an earlier blog post, the game of monopoly in the mission that caused his companions to think he had some extra spiritual gift. At one point on his mission when he wasn't feeling very successful teaching, he mentioned that he could use this ability to, in a sense, sell the gospel. He knew what a blessing the gospel, baptism, and church membership could be for people, but he knew deep down that he couldn't hard sell this message. He really wanted people to come to the realization on their own and to develop a testimony. <br />
<br />
When we talked to Jakob on Mother's Day he told us how he bought some blue tooth device just because it was too good of a deal to pass up. Then he proceeded to sell it to his companion who would be going home soon. (Of course Jakob would be making a profit on his mission.) It wasn't much, but when he told us the story via Skype he had a sheepish grin because he knows...we all know. It brings him such satisfaction, but he kind of knew that he was lightheartdly busted. We all has this little laugh. He then told us how he felt so guilty that he gave him all sorts of free stuff. It makes me smile to type this because this is so the boy I know.<br />
<br />
Well, his companion had an appreciation for the experience. He probably had to figure out what happened first. He didn't know what he was dealing with when he met Jake the Salesman. He was used to Jake the Missionary. Apparently his companion learned from his experience and tried to apply it to life in a talk he gave shortly after where he recommended that the other missionaries use Elder Reinhold's tactic of convincing those listening to the gospel message of all of the reasons why they need this in their lives and how they can't possibly live without it. They would be dumb not to accept it! Props for him for being introspective and making sense of things.<br />
<br />
I just got a kick out of it because you know that your son or daughter will come back a different person. This was my reassurance that some things never change and it was this moment where I could put a stamp of authenticity on his mission experience. Yep, that's him. That's my boy. Miss him so much. This Mother's Day call was our last phone call before he will be home. I am soooo looking forward to October!<br />
<br />
P.S. I have to add that Jakob is one of the most sincere, loving, and honest people I know. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow! This week was a bit crazy but it was an really awesome week. First of all, let me just start out with the highlight of the week. We had a conference with Elder Clarke, a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy. He is an older guy with a lot of lightning. The whole conference was just crazy. He was macheting everyone left and right. He is not afraid to speak his mind, let's just say that. He talked a lot about everything. He really is a very dynamic guy and I really enjoyed it. The conference flew by and we were there from 6:30 in the morning until 7:00 in the evening. First we had the normal conference at 6:30 and then at 3:00 we had a special conference. <br /><br /><br />He really was a rough on us but I had some very spiritual experiences. One thing that got to me is that he was talking a little about the less active members that we have in our lives. He asked everyone to stand up that had a family member that is inactive in the Church. Everybody stood up. Not a single person was sitting. He started asking some of the missionaries who it was that was inactive. He finally reached the elderly couple that was standing next to me he asked, "Who is it that is inactive in your life?" The Elder started crying... after about 10 seconds he said that it was his daughter. Elder Clarke then asked, "What would you do to have your daughter in the church again?" I was close so I heard him say "I would give my life, I really would." It really touched me because we have people in our lives that are not active in the church and they do not know how they affect their family and their Heavenly Father. I have people like this in my life and I would like to invite you guys to remember your covenants and be better. Be better saints!!! You will not realize the blessing you are loosing until you pass to the other life but you will be grateful if you give it your best to be a disciple of Christ. I love you guys and our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, love you too. <br /><br />Elder Clarke gave us a lot of tips for the mission. but he also gave us a lot of tips for life. One of the things he said to the elders is that when we are looking for a wife we have to take her on a hike on a really tall mountain and if she even complains once leave her. :) He was a really cool guy and really funny. I was so ready to get out and work after the conference. <br /><br />Well I have a new companion. His name is Elder R--. He is from Mexico. He is from the southern part of mexico (Tabasco). He is a really cool comp. He is really laid back and just kind of goes with the flow. This week we were able to finally put a baptismal date with E--. He's the dad of the family we have been visiting. We already baptized the mom and one of the kids might be baptized this Saturday as well. We are doing well here in San Juan Ostuncalco. I really like our area even though it is a bit tough with the branch and it is struggling a bit but I love it. I want you guys to know that I love the mission and I want to take advantage of these last months I have. Well I will be talking to a lot of you guys this week. Adios. "Wiyaa" in Mam.<br /><br /><br />Elder Reinhold</span></div>

Well Family, this week was actually pretty good. Our companionship is feeling a little bit better as far as the stomach goes. This week was also really good because we had a baptism. E-- was baptized and it is about time that he got baptized! He was ready when I got here to San Juan. That means that right now we have baptized 2 possible future branch presidents which was part of our goal. E-- is a really good person. </div>

This month was also pretty good. Last month we had 4 baptisms and this month we finished with 8 so we doubled the baptisms and that feels good. This month we are not starting with a ton of baptismal dates but we are going to keep working to put more. This month our goal is to have 10 or 12 baptisms. </div>

This week I had the opportunity again to speak in church. I talked about the talk that President Uchtdorf gave 2 conferences ago named "Come Join Us." It was a great talk and the branch needed it a lot. It was kind of funny though I was reading the last part of the talk and I didn't have a ton of time to prepare the talk so I read the part where it says, "In the name of Jesus Christ, amen." Everybody thought that I finished my talk and so they all scared me when they all said "amen." I thought for one second, "Should I just sit down or keep going?" So I told them that I was just reading the talk and that I was going to keep talking. Everybody was laughing a ton. It was really funny. </div>

How is life? Well this week I do not have a lot of time to write but this week was good and bad. We will start off with the bad. First of all this week was the semana santa or the holy week for the Catholics. That basically means a pause of the missionary work. It doesn't matter even if we go and knock doors they do not answer. It is a really hard week for the missionary work. </div>

Also the family that we were trying to get baptized did not get baptized as a family... hahahaha. The good thing is that we had a baptism and it was the mom of the family Hermana A--. It was a bit crazy having the baptism when we were sick and when it was the semana santa but it all worked out. Thank you guys for your support and stay classy.</div>

Well family this week was great. We had a baptism... and not only a baptism but also a wedding. We were able to marry (so that they are not breaking the law of chastity) and then baptize K--. It was a great experience but a little bit stressful for us. The whole week we were running around organizing everything. It was a little bit crazy and when we finished we were tired because that same day we had a conference with an area seventy. This week we are also going to have a baptism. It might be a family!!!! The mom and the kids already accepted but the dad wants to wait a couple of months to learn more. He has had a ton of answers but has not wanted to act on the answers. Man, I can't tell you how frustrating that is when God is talking with someone and they still can't here. </div>

Today we went to a mirador. From the mirador you can see about half of San Juan. San Juan is just a bunch of villages. Someone told me that San Juan has about 136 villages. I am so happy to be in the mission. It is a great experience. I am a bit sad because 6 months from today I will be home all awkward not being able to speak English and will feel really weird being alone and not with a companion. I love you guys and sorry I don't have much to talk about.</div>
