Prayer Request & New Area Update

He's doing well, but struggling with not having a baptism.  I was able to be online with him for a bit so I'll include that, too.  Love him so much and hoping to get through to him that success is not measured in baptisms.  The scriptures say if you should bring one soul unto me, how great will be your joy.  Could even be ourselves as that one soul.  Hang in there pal.  We love and pray for you every day.

Some of the members he has met in his new area.

Elder Clayton and Elder Velasquez.  Elder V stands about 5 ft tall.

So that was good then we have just been teaching and what not trying to find someone to baptize please if you could this week throw down a prayer that we can find someone ready to accept this messaje if you can anyways on Sunday we had the dedication of San Salvador Templo it was awesome really so awesome Pres Eyring did it along with Elder Christopherson Pres Eyering does not speak spanish so during the ceiling of the corner stone he was just like making small talk in English and i was laughing well not laughing but giggling but everyone else was looking at me like i was crazy he is an awesome guy i dont know if you understand that but it was awesome.

Right now were working with some people and man i just want to have a real Baptism a real conversion just something real im trying this week i dont know if ive beaten myself up or what but its so hot so hot and i try to have a smile and everything and i do its just hard sometimes trying my best out here but i want some success.

Thanks for the emails this week they were awesome and full of info i loved em really just to have info about you guys is awesome.

So some fun things while i was on divisions we were walking into Centro and this car ran a stop sign and a bus ya a freaking bus smashed SMASHED it pushed it like 25 feet up on a curb and it was nuts we were about 15 feet away from it thats it!!! but i think noone was hurt here when things like that happen people swarm so really in 5 mins there was a multitude of at least 350 people so that was kinda fun. Other than that it was really just another week.

I love you so much thanks for your love and support and for your prayers!!! Really thank you for those. This week we have Multi Zona in San Pedro i wont see Peterson so thats a bummer but alright-

Well Love Ya Good luck with school

Love Elder Clayton

Elder Clayton:  Mom, are you on!!!!!  Mom ah ilove you how are you today

Me:  How's your companion.  Elder Clayton:  ya hes small haha but cool guy well im gonna be going but just know that i love you all so so sososososos much

Where are you using the computer at?  Elder Clayton:  An internet cafe there all over the place down here just a house with like 5 computers in it

Elder Clayton:  Are you making cookies, (first day of school)  Yes i got it it was awesome!!!!!!! i loved it thank you dont worry its all good how are you are you making cookies or anything  ME:  Me:  Yep, Caleb wanted choc. chip so not the usual peanut butter fingers. oh well.  Hang in there on the success stories.  You are planting seeds in their hearts and it will happen.  And no worries, I pray for that all the time, I'll pray harder.  And I'm doing the same BOM challenge of reading it by two transfers.  Hope I can do it.

Me:  Good, seems weird that I didn't head to Adelaide.  Caleb was quite anxious.  I felt like I was sending him to the lions.  JR high is scary.  How's your week been, did you get my update email.  I always worry now after that one time you didn't get it.

Even as I type this I get teary eyed.  I sure miss him, but am so proud of all he is learning while he serves.  He's a great son and a wonderful missionary!

Thank you for all your prayers again, it is appreciated.
