Como estan,

Well, I had a great week. I will start with Monday. I thought it was early too for a Mundial. We were right. Appearanetly (I forgot how to spell it in English) a few elders tried to plan a mission wide activity before they went home. They wanted to have another soccer tournament before they went home. I don't know quite what they were thinking. How is president not going to find out about a mission wide activity. The President found out and cancelled it. We ended up playing with 1 other zone in a different dirt field. It was fun. Afterwards we all went to Chili's in Megaplaza to eat.

I went on a work visit this Friday with Elder Lee. His dad served in Holland on his mission at about the same time as you Dad. Maybe you know each other. We had a great time. We worked really hard and contacted everyone. We knocked on one door and a lady named Adelina answered. She let us right in. She told us that her sister had been baptized just 2 weeks before in another zone in the mission. She was super excited to learn the same things her sister had learned. I gave her a Book of Mormon yesterday and I am pretty sure she will start to read it.

The baptism of Estify went great. There were 3 baptisms this week in my ward. Two for the ZL, and one for me. We couldn't do the baptisms together because of the peoples schedule, but both ceremonies were really nice. Elder Lee, Zundel, and I sang I am a Child of God during the first baptism. We sang the first verse in Spanish and then we sang the first verse again in English. The people really liked it. The three investigators were super excited to be baptized and all three were confirmed yesterday in sacrement meeting.

I am really excited, yet scared for changes. I have been here since I started my mission in August. I only know Año Nuevo. I would like to go other places and meet new people, but I have also grown to love the people here and don't want to leave them. They have become great friends to me. I said goodbye to some members this week and the things they told me really touched me. I am so glad I was able to help so many people get to know the church or come back to it. I will just have to wait a couple more hours to find out if I go or not.

I am glad you guys had such a great week. Kaylee's and Dex's new car should be great. Subaru's are great cars. I like that year because they put a new body on the same chassis. It will be a good car.

To settle your argument, my shoes are soccer cleats, but with the indoor tread. I can use them as normal shoes if I want to. They are great and felt good on my feet as I played monday and this morning.

That's great to hear that Carson had a great mission. It sounds like he learned a lot. I really like the small story you shared with me this week. It is so true.

Te amo,
Elder Isaacson

I love this family so much. I went there on my first day. They have finally started coming back to church. They live at the top of the hill so I think that makes it hard for them to get there. I know it is hard for us to get to them.

Only one photo today, I just ran out of time.
