this week has been great! quite stressfull, but always worth. lets start off with great news! my comp from la punta, elder stearns called me last night to update me on my converts. angelita is super strong and is well on her way to the temple. she loves it and almost might get a calling....exciting! my convert fernando, is just on fire! he has the best record for home teaching and takes the elders out to teach twice a week and after he gets the melkesidek priesthood, he will also get a calling. he said the closing prayer at ward conference and at that ward coference they announced that la punta was going to be it´s own ward!!! WOOO!!!! i never thought i would go back to visit those guys, but now i have too. we will see what we can do (:i was just crazy happy...oh, and agustin is good, is mom who was inactive just got a calling. i can´t believe how much my work had paid off. in la punta, i felt helpless only having baptized 4 people and thinking that my work wsa mediocre. hearing that news was one of the highlights of the mission. i felt great (: yay.

this week we had a meeting for zone leaders and president talked about working with members. it was cool. we were only there for a little bit, but it was still fun. and then tomorrow me and my comp have a meeting with pres.avila, our stake president (which is a big deal, because stakes are more wide spread down here), and the are seventy. we have to present a bunch of stats about the zone and lots of averages for the last couple weeks. you can tell they are serious about getting a temple down here soon, so they are doing some super analyzing and stuff. im a little nervous, but it should be good. im getting super prepared for it. we are excited and it should help us to get better at working with the members. then me and pres. avila are doing intercambios for an hour an we are going to go visit the flia.perez. i invited him and even though i might be self concious of my teaching, it should be fun. (: i am way stoked. i didn´t think he would accept the invitation but he did! so we are going right after the meeting. i need you guys to pray so much for this family! they are so close to baptism! and they need it this weekend. hopefully pres.avila takes all his guns out and helps us out. hahaha. pray for them and yeah...haha, we will be going crazy this week seeing if they can make it. they are soo ready. we need it so bad! haha (: thanks guys. i am stressing again for the zone goal and hoping that the missionaries can step up their game. i don´t know how to get missionaries to understand the importance of somethings, sometimes. i am working on it. haha (: should be a good week, just pray for us (: anyways, glad to see you had a good week (:

love elder valle
