SUSHI and BIRTHDAY WEEKEND

Wow this has been one the best birthdays in my life ... So far..
this past week has been tough, a huge learning experience...
and yeah..

On Saturday a RM came back from the mission, he and i became friends quickly. it was pretty interesting knowing that i have about a 1 year left of the mission and seeing a welcome home party. it made me think, it didnt make trunky. it made me kinda sad knowing that i wont be a missionary anymore, for some reason i just feel that the mission is ending for me... because this year has gone by really quickly that this next round it will go even more quickly. Im loving the mission even more because of it.. of the knowledge i have gained for my own life...
That night was pretty awesome as well and i got to talk to one of my friends, it was uplifting :D

i answered the phone at a members house eating breakfast there and then...
hello? didnt hear anything... then i asked who is it.. "ITS YOUR MOM"
lol
that was pretty funny and good. it made my day better, especially what happened the night before :D
i have a feeling who gave her my number... but at the same time i didnt get i got to talk to my family real quick.

Sunday.. [background story first. I met this couple in my ward.. , gabriella burrola she lives here in utah,and her boyfriend, Greg Stanger from LA area is going to UCR. i gave him the number of a buddy- Allen Auman, since he isnt a member and is planning on attending YSA Riverside 1st. She gives me a self made birthday card, it was pretty sweet cause it said that they are going to get me a CD i wanted to get one time i saw them at FYE.] they are a pretty sweet couple

Somehow the youth knew it was my birthday... when i just told two families, i guess they gave them the heads up. it felt nice.

I happened to See a Couple I met in the LA temple when Junior Kaleopa went to get his endownments..last year.. it was awesome, they recognized me, and we talked for a bit...

Later i saw another good friend i have met on the mission he happened to go to my ward.. lol
After i went to OGDEN, to go baptize the father whom i am good friends with. my last companion elder baquedano baptized
his wife. The baptism was awesome!! It was a pretty good birthday present.

I returned to Kaysville to have my birthday dinner at the MARIN family home. To eat empandas de argentine. it was so good.
Then ended the night with a good Ice Cream Caramel Cake,
IT was a pretty good birthday...

A MIRACLE BAPTISMAL DATE
a 18 young woman, wants to get baptized, she has heard majority of the lessons and decided to get baptized.. the spirit was so strong, the way she held herself was pretty amazing, how an 18 year old girl already knows that the church is true and everything,
We taught her for the 1st time yesterday and her baptismal date is for this saturday! A baptism this saturday!!!!!!
