Elder Jordan Keele, Oct. 10, 2011

Buenas tardes mis seres queridos,

We've had a great week, and this one looks pretty promising as well. Ana didn't get baptized yet, and the Devil is working pretty hard against her. She could benefit a lot from your sincere prayers. We've helped her cling to the Book of Mormon, and we're sure that nothing will stop her this week. However, we did have two baptisms in the branch on Saturday of 8 year old members. Yahir Mercado- the branch presidents son, and Dhamar Rodriguez- the daughter of a very faithful sister. Yahir's mom, Miriam, went all out for the baptism, and it was a wonderful opportunity for investigators. There were at least 60 people there to witness the ordinance, and over half of them were non-members. We hope to see some solid fruit for all the efforts. It was crazy, and it was a lot of work, but it was all worth it and everything turned out nicely in the end. Afterwards we celebrated the birthday, and lemme tell ya, Mexicans sure do know how to throw parties! It was fun :)

Today we're in Pachuca staying a couple days with our zone leaders. It's only the second time that my "son", Elder Pintor, has even seen missionaries since he's been in Molango. But we have another meeting next Monday here, so he'll be able to mingle a little bit more frequently.

I'm so happy to hear about Shannon McQuarrie. She's such a wonderful woman, and I'm happy to see that she can find that peace and happiness that she so desperately needs. No divorce is easy. It looks like she's taken things positively, and that seems to be key in every challenge we face.

That's a really neat quote by that applies perfectly to what just happened for the Provo Tabernacle. Thanks for sharing that with me.

I love you all and can't wait to hear your experiences!

Elder Jordan Keele
