Hola a todos...
This week has been another great week in the work of the Lord!!! Our zone has 6 baptisms this month so far and we have planned 3 baptisms this weekend with a potential 16 more baptisms for the last weekend of November, 25 planned baptisms which would put us over our month`s goal of 21 baptisms. All the missionaries are excited and working hard, while sadly almost half of the other baptisms planned in the mission are falling... for example in the mission, we had 47 baptisms planned for last weekend but only 23 were baptized, there is much opposition and many missionaries are falling under the pressure and opposition... but the missionaries of Maroñas still stand strong, we haven`t had a baptism fall through for over 2 months!

Good news!!! President Da Silva gave us permission to use SKYPE for our christmas phone call this year, so I`ll be giving more details about how and when we will be ¨seeing each other¨ in december, but that will be exciting! Make sure that your skype is working without problems before Christmas. Time is just flying by, it is already nearly Thanksgiving and I feel like November just started.
Thanks for checking up on the BYU info, and we`ll just take care of that when I get home.
We saw a miracle here in the other missionaries area in our ward... They are teaching a family of 4 who have a baptismal date for the 25th of November who needed to get married in order to get baptized. so last thursday they planned to go to the offices to take out a wedding date (usually you have to wait about 3 weeks to 3 months between taking out the date and the actual wedding) and the Lord provided a miracle!!! the other two elders and us went to the office with the couple to be there witnesses for their wedding and there happened to be an opening for the 24th of november (just 2 weeks from the day!!!) and so they are going to be married the 24th and baptized the 25th of November as a family!
I love you all and hope that you are receiving as many blessings as I am here in Uruguay. It`s even starting to heat up now so that`s good! Love you.
Love,
Elder Gardner
