23 months done 1 more to go

September 3, 2012 family whats going on???? all is going good down here in the guay entering into september my final complete month here as a missionary for the church, how crazy is that time has flooowwwwnnn by. the zone is looking fairly well for this month and according to my old comp elder nygard (asistant) he tells me that we have the best zone in the whole mission haha. but you all know me, elder barton i hate losing with a dirty dirty dirty passion so its better that i am in control of the best zone in the whole mission haha.this week all the zone leaders are getting together in montevideo and elder nygard asked me to talk about 20 minutes about how to be a zone leader and what we have to do in our zones so that everyone has success, not gonna lie its just one more thing i have to do and i dont want to but i guess i got no other options haha so we will see how that goes. we had a baptism this last week, she is the aunt of the bishop, she is a super cool lady mom of 9 kids we have baptized 3 of them but the rest are big and have their own families and live in the middle of no where here in tacuarembo like 2 hours from the city haha. so yeah the bishop was super happy and its nice to feel like i am completing my role as missionary bringing families together forever. we have also been teaching the bishops cousin, for about 2 months now she cant get baptized because she is living with a guy and they are not married, she got up and bore her testimony yesterday and talked about how bad she wanted an eternal family and how she has hope one day that her husband with want to come to church one day or for the least get married, it was super sad but at the same time super awesome to see someone really understand the gospel she has 2 little girls as well one we baptized and the other is just a little thing she has 2 years.other than that things are going good we had 13 investigators in church yesterday so we are expecting about anothe 10 baptisms this month and its not a bad way to finish the mission haha so i am pretty stoked sincerely just trying to work my tail off so that i dont get to trunky even though i think i am on the verge of death cause of how tired i am, when i am home i think i am gonna take about a 3 day nap haha i am BEAT. but i gotta do it for one more month than i am done haha i wouldnt want it any other way. so yeah tahts the news here from the guay, i love you all so much thank you for everything you do for me, keep it krispy. hast luego. elder michael barton
