Week of April 18, 2011

Sounds like if we were to send an air conditioner and spring water to Corban and maybe even a washing machine that he would think that he had died and gone to heaven. Corban's email:

"Hey ya'll,
Well, bout to have my first companion exchange this week, should be on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to it, but will miss my companion, that is if we have a exchange. Who knows. I was happy to receive letters this week, especially from Jeanette! Sounds like people are doing well in the life of the us citizen. Believe me when I say, central air and fresh water have never been so good. lol. But everything is going well. No one ever said that the mission would not be tough, and let me testify in saying, it is tough, xD. But I manage day to day. The baptism was great, I baptized two of the three brothers that were baptized. Santiago, and Ismael. 8 and 13. Other than that this week was pretty much spent just preparing for the baptism, and their mom said that she wanted to be baptized too, so if I stay in Guapilo that is one baptism for the next exchange. The picture of me standing next to the canal is my area. There are plenty of canals in this area, for the rain, but the clouds here are always big and puffy. It is beautiful here. If they had a beach, it would be more popular than mexico, lol, but I'm glad to here from you all. I'm not quite sure what exactly will go down on moms day. I get to talk for an hour I think, and I will get to call, dad and mom. So peeps, if you want to talk to me go to one of those places, lol. Well good hearing from you all, hope to hear from you next week.
love,
Elder Schafer "

Remember everyone letters and skittles...oh and of course fresh water and a/c. Corban would love to hear from you!

Take care,
Sandy
