It sounds like it was a pretty crazy week. I had completely forgot that it was memorial day. It is always nice to get a day off. I can't believe you guys are doing so many fun things. Kenzie has now graduated. Her small senior trip sounds like it was pretty fun. I can't believe Mom and Kenzie are going on a cruise. That will be way fun. We will have to get back at them and go on some trip without them. I can't believe we didn't draw out for any deer tag. I thought we were garunteed to draw out. I guess we will just go elk hunting. I was actually hoping to do both hunts but now I will have more time to go duck hunting with Dex and see how well his dog works.
We had an amazing week here in Mariategui. The best part was probably Friday. Miguel and Gianina got married. The ceremony was in the mission offices. We were supposed to get there at 2:30. We left at 2:10 and it usually takes an hour to get to the offices. Felipe, my convert and Gianina's brother, drove us in his taxi. He drove a little crazy but we made it in 40 minutes. It was pretty impressive. Miguel and Gianina looked really good in their suit and dress. A lot of their family came and supported them. They were really happy the whole time. When we got back, they had a reception in their house. We were only their for about an hour and had to leave at 9:30. They told us that the party ended at 3:30 in the morning. We were a little worried that Miguel's family would make him drink, but he stayed strong. Also, a lot of members came and helped them stay strong. They next day was just as good. Both Miguel and Gianina were baptized. I baptized Miguel and Elder Page baptized Gianina. Sunday was fast and testimony meeting because there is no church Sunday due to the second half of elections. Miguel got up and shared his testimony. My comps and I were gleaming from ear to ear because we know he will stay strong in the church.
We also had a good zone conference on Wednesday. It was my second to last one. I always love hearing from President Erickson and learning from him. I always gain a ton of knowledge from him. I am going to miss when he teaches us.
We have found a lot of new families this week. We ended up finding 4 new families that are really cool. The bad thing is, is that they all need to get married. It looks like I will be doing a lot of marriage papers. That is always a big headache. The worst part is that the marriage is going to be on June 24th. I will have to do all the preperations but I won't get to enjoy the marriage. At least I will know that I helped these families change their lives. That is what is important.
I hope you have a great holiday,
Elder Isaacson
