Dear Everyone,

  Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I`m super old now. I hope I don`t lose my hair anytime soon. I had a great birthday. I`m living with 3 other missionaries. They were pretty excited to go buy a cake haha. The member that gave us lunch made chicken with gravy! Random American food haha but with fried plantains (non-sweet bananas) and rice. That was cool. She also made flan and put a candle and they sang happy birthday. (They all know how to sing Happy Birthday in English which kind of surprised me haha. I guess they sing it in English for all the birthdays here too!) 

     This week was awesome. The ward here is way awesome. We went and visited a couple investigadors with the bishop. We found one teenage guy who had already talked to the missionaries recently he`s going to be baptized this saturday already! He came to church yesterday along with another guy and his 7 year old daughter (just out of baptismal reach the daughter! haha). He`s a man about 60 that has been having alot of economical problems and is looking for help from the Lord now. He said he thinks we knocked on his door for a purpose he has from god! We visited a ton of other investigators as well but they couldn`t come to church this sunday. 

    More news, I had transfers again! I`m still living in the same apartment but I`m opening up a different sector nearby. I loved my old ward I had for 2 weeks but i`m always excited for the work wherever they want me! It`s really exciting how the lord is pressuring his work! I know this is his church and that he directs it. I love being able to help other people come to Christ. It really helps alot of people in their lives.

Gracias,

Elder Pollock
