Hey Mom

Wow things are always happening there back at home!!!!

Anyways the baptism of Mauricio Sabastian Munoz went great!!!! We ended up doing it on Friday, April 3rd because of conference. Elder Peni baptized him and this up coming Sunday I will do the Confirmation. He is so awesome. The spirit was so strong at the baptism and right after Mauricio said "my brother is next", so today we are starting to teach his brother. He will be a little tougher because he's always in front of the computer like all the kids there at home.

Because of the baptism, me completing 6 months, and Elder Peni completing a year we celebrated a little. You know the drink Elder Groberg drank in the movie "The Other Side of Heaven", we drank that cause Elder Peni is from Samoa and had some of the stuff to make that drink and it is tradition to use it to celebrate special occations. It was bitter, but definitly an experience I am going to remember.

Oh yeah, we got our transfers again and Elder Peni and I are staying together for another transfer --I'm stoked!!!! We work so good together.

I don't know if I've told you, but so far I've gained 11 pounds. I didn't think it was possible but crazy stuff. I'm starting to work out so I don't get fat and instead just put on muscle. (Is getting FAT possible for a Berghout????---Mom's thought)

Anyways till next week
Love
Your Elder Johnny Berghout

P.S. I miss my music....Haha!!!! When I hear music on the street, I always want to dance. ha ha
