Hola! From under the Equator!!!
Recently, I have gained a large interest and passion in the Holy Scriptures.  I have felt many times that the topics and doctrines that they teach and that I am reading, apply directly to me and my life.  As I have studied, I have found a way to spread out my time so that I can study what I really need and what I would like to learn.  Every day as a missionary I have an hour in the morning set apart to study the Scriptures, and I have learned something very important about this time.  I can use it for what it is meant, and gain knowledge and experience, or I can waste it very easily and do other things that appear to be “important”, but aren’t the “most important” things.  I have learned from this that, to gain the knowledge that I desire, it is of utmost importance that I apply myself and that I focus on what is most important. 
Well, this week Rusbel Shapiama got baptized!!! WOOTTTTT!!!
It went well except we didn’t have water, so we started to fill up the font in our other ward and then one of the members said he knew how to fix the pump.  So he did, and we were able to fill up the font and Rusbel got baptized!!!!
Also, sorry for not writing more, there isn’t any more time. I love you all!!! The gospel is true!!!!!
Love Elder Joe!!!
