We saw several new people accept to baptism including a golden young family that is just eating everything up that we teach them. They are SO prepared that it frightens me actually. There are currently 7 people preparing to be baptized in our ward. 4 mixtecos, two single guys, and one young couple who is legitimisimo. They read and study and mark the scriptures, and after their first day at church yesterday we found him reading and marking his new gospel principles book. They are being blessed as well as they have struggled to come to the gospel with he and his wife finding work, despite the temptations and trials that satan delivers them, the power of the Holy Ghost and Jesus Christ is infinitely more powerful.
Also, ____Ruiz was baptized on Sunday which was a huge miracle, I can't say how many things were working against him, it was an uphill battle all the way but with humble faith in God he is officially baptized, and will be confirmed in one week. It's been great to see the miracles that have been coming upon us here in Othello, it makes me want to live better and be more worthy of the miracles, which is doubtlessly bringing even more miracles. It's like people say, success brings more success, and I believe it. the Lord has been outpouring miracles but it is absolutely certain that it is not due to us. If I took even a part of the credit for what has been and what is occurring here in Othello surely I would be smitten. Thus, we continue to work with a humble fear of the knowledge that the Lord giveth yet he taketh away if we become prideful. The Lord wants the success here, which is what makes it so great. It's like I've said in the past, there is far too much adversity for any sort of success to occur if this wasn't God's work. It's the only answer, literally we can to next to nothing. although we are essential tools, we are not the ones doing the work. It's like giving the drill the credit for building our house. Yeah right, the drill helped but certainly the credit doesn't go to the drill, but to the builder.

Super Elder!!

Things in Othello are going great. One of the celestial mixteco (pronounced meestekoe)families here in our ward invited their another young mixteco family to church, so we taught them and it turns out that they are all but golden. their only pit fall is that they have an egregious habit of going to bed super late and getting up super late, which caused them to miss church. However, once they feel that desire to repent they should be baptized. They are super legit, and they have the celestial family as like best friends, not just fellowshippers.
Meanwhile another mixteco family was on hold due to tragedies in Mexico but we talked to them again yesterday, and they are right back on track. I certainly see them getting baptized in February due to their sincerity of heart.
In short, things here are legit. My companion and I are staying together for at least one more transfer, and luckily Elder Robertson is staying here in Othello as well. My only complaint is that it is January already, I wish is was still June 2009. Time goes by too fast. It's like Dad says, the days are months, the months are weeks and the weeks are days. It's kind of an upside down reality if you think about it.
It's pretty much been in the 30's here since Christmas so it hasn't been that bad. Last year was a record amount of snow for Spokane and this year it is like a record low, there is no snow anywhere, except in the gutters really. It's been nice for missionary work. The only problem is that the people here are so poor all the houses we go into are ultra cold as well, I can't tell you all the lesson's I've taught where I could see my breath at the same time. Good times.
The Cowboys are legit. Minnesota will be destroyed, Favre's eyesight is going anyway...
We have a lot of things happening here of great importance, such as two baptisms in the balance this weekend, they have been legit the last month, but the last week or so they have been a little hesitant, it's crunch time and we really need some miracles for them.
