This week was awesome! Great experiences with my companion and roommates. Our teacher, Hermano Avila, is really cool. He severd in "The Best Mission" the church has to offer. Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Spanish speaking. He was there when Spencer was in Florida. Oh, I had a sub one day who served in Asuncion. He was also in Taylor's MTC district. Hermano Clark.
Okay so the important info that I wanted to share about Elder Berg and I is that we are now the Zone Leaders. The branch presidency said they knew from the minute we met them that we would be able to lead the zone. So we are excited about that. But something even better happened! It has to do with our investigator, Madi. We challenged her to be baptized and she said yes! We were really excited because no one else in our district was able to get her to commit to it and the two of us just really taught by the spirit with her and committed her. However, the next day wasn't too great. We found out that she is actually our second teacher who had been playing the role of an investigator. So we have two teachers, Hermano Avila and Herman Daly (Madi). She is from Eagle and Elder Berg knows her brother. So now we have our investigator, Brian Solis, and both of our teachers are also being investigators now. So also Gilberto and Encarnie.
Well I hope you all enjoy the photos below. Just some of the random things we do and some great pictures at the temple. My mom will have more in a few weeks to share with everyone. I hope all is well for you all. Let me now if there is anything that I can do for you! If you wanna know about something in particular, feel free to ask! I love getting to hear from you all.
Sincerely,

4. WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO MISSIONARIES IN YOUR ROOM? Elder Gifford is from Oregon up by Carlos and Amy. He can be funny at times, He is also the District Leader. Elder Baker is from Texas...or if you ask him, TayHaus.
5. BLAYLOCKS POSTED A PIC OF YOU AND MADDIE, WHO ELSE HAVE YOU RUN INTO? Sister Blaylock, Jordan Singleton (mission prep), Adam Cobbs neighbor. A wrestler from Bonneville that doesn't like Columbia because we always win, and then a bunch of people from the Eagle and Meridian area.
Total coincidence that I saw Dalton at the temple. He was trying to be cool and scope for the "Sweet Spirits" which are definitely here.
I love the picture of Bella!! She is getting big! I will send some pictures in the email every week but then I will just send you my SD card like two weeks before I leave.
If you all wanna just email me on Monday nights that would be great because I just come print off my emails after the temple and then write down what I want to say during laundry time so that I can just type it later.
I love you Mom! Thanks for always believing in me! It is definitely hard here but if you stop worrying so much about the little things and just lose yourself in the service, it is so much easier!
Hasta la semana!
Love you,
Elder Salinas
