This week was unique.  Elder Anderson and I both caught the cold so it's been rough as far as breathing goes, but hey the work still goes on and we have some amazing hermanas in the district who make some great ramen noodles and cookies. haha. So, Christina's baptism went incredible she is going to be a faithful member for eternity and I think she's going to be the next relief society pres. I got the opportunity to introduce the first vision at her baptism in front around 50 people in Spanish so that was incredible and a blessing. We started this trend in the mission called spoken pedal. Every Wednesday all the missionaries in the mission ride their bikes, which is normal for me cause I'm in a bike area, but for some reason this particular day dogs really didn't like me. I got bit by a Rottweiler ( don't worry I'm not hurt) and peed on by the same dog three times ha ha so that was a fun day. Other than that this week was pretty normal - lots of lessons with nobody committing.  I love you all.  Here's my letter to pres and some more pictures.

Remember - don't let them praying knees get lazy and love like crazy

Dear president,

This week was incredible. First off, thank you for your advice during our interview. I'm excited to learn and grow to be able to do the Lord's work and help be part of the solution and THE mission. During training I received tons of revelation for myself and my investigators. Spoken pedal was successful. I got bit by a dog so that's exciting ha ha no worries I'm fine but I will need some new pants. The baptism for Christina was amazing. I'm so glad I got to be a part of her conversion and her life. There's nothing I'd rather be doing right now than this work. One miracle that happened this week was I accomplished my goal. I set a goal that I would give someone a baptismal date before new missionary training. Mario confirmed his date to be baptized on February 15 and is very excited. His  mom was baptized really young in life and decided that she needed to come back for her family so we've been working with Mario and hope to work with the father this week. 

Thanks for all you do and for the example you are.

much love ELDER HENRIE
