Hey family!
You forgot me this week, so please send an email to the gmail haha
This week was fantastic! We are taking 3 couples to get a marriage date this week!!! We have super strong investigators and everyone is progressing spiritually, its just sometimes hard for people to get married and such. Some commandments are hard to follow simply because of the temporal laws that exist, but when theres a will theres a way! I sure hope we can get them all married and baptised before I'm gone, I know it's a pride thing, but I really do like seeing people progress from start to finish. It's hard for me to leave people halfway and wonder what happened, but that's the mission I guess!
TODAY IS GENERAL CONFERENCE!!
Our sessions are at 1 and at 5. At 11 we are going to Nicolas, Cristal, and Sheyla's house (Nicolas and Cristal are getting married and then baptised, Sheyla is their friend that lives their with them and will be baptised the 23rd) for a big lunch together and then walking to the conference all together. Tomorrow we are going with Gustavo and Daniela! We have been handing out invites in all our contacts, so I really hope a lot of people come to hear and see the prophet! I put myself in the shoes of someone who has never heard of a prophet before and I imagine the General Conference would be even more incredible!
Elder Crandell is a great missionary and we are seeing a ton of success in the ward. Lots of new investigators every week and the Lord is blessing all of them with the means of completing with all of the commandments.
VAMO' ARRIBA!
Thanks for the letters I've gotten and sorry I'm slow to reply. I usually am up before 6:30 and often out after 10:30 doing whatever needs to be done and have very little time even on Pdays to write anything. I'll try really hard to write a few letters today!
Love you all so much! Keep working hard and being happy!!!!
Elder Magnusson

(We did not forget him... if we write too late on Friday's, he doesn't get our emails in time... he writes very early on Saturdays)
