Hola Todo,
 
This week was another good week.  We always seem to have pleanty of people to teach and we have a lot of people progressing right now.  This week we baptised Jari.  He´s 20 years old and the son of the first person I baptised, Ubiera.  Ubera was able to do the baptism, which was really cool to see.
 
Last week we got a refference from one of the ward member to visit her extended family.  It´s in a part of our area that we haven´t been to before, but we eventually found it.  When we got there, the mother had read the whole pamphlet we had given them and was excited to hear more.  She introduced us to her seven children; six of whom are older than eight.  She then introduced us to one of her sisters and told us that she has about eight children that are a little bit older as well.  As it turns out, There are about eight siblings in the family and each one has about eight children.  And just about all of them live right there next to where we taught her.  We were able to arrange for a small bus to come and pick them up on Sunday because they live way far from the church.  There were 15 of them that were able to come that are above eight years of age, and a few that were younger.  Along with this, we were able to get about 10 other of our investigators to church yesterday.  We´re a little cramped in the building we´re in right now, but it all went pretty well.  One of our investgators that is working on the new chapel in front of our house told us that it should finally be done within a month.  We´re excited to continue teaching everyone and hope to see them get baptised soon.  The work is going well.  We were in a meeting with the Stake President yesterday and I think as soon as the new chapel is finshed they´re going to start figuring out how to split the ward.
 
Anyhow, thát´s about it for today.
Cuidense,
Elder Adam Russell Rich
