Feb 6th letter

So my new companion is Elder Turner.  He's from Salt Lake city, and he
started his mission in the Dominican Republic.  He's pretty awesome,
and I'm really excited because he's the first companion I've had where
we could legitimately speak spanish all the time and actually
understand eachother, so i feel like we're both going to learn a lot
really fast.  He also has this kind of laid back energy and fire that
helps us have a lot of success.  He has a deck of Pokemon cards, too
haha.

Anyways, Perla is desirous to be baptized, but her boyfriend needs to
get divorced from his previous wife and he's not in a hurry to tdo
that... she doesn't want to leave him, though, because they have a kid
together... we're going to be talking to her about that and her kids
more tonight.

Also, we're going to be teaching a girl who's nine years old and
didn't get baptized because she thought she had to know the articles
of faith... That was kinda funny but kind of sad, because she's just
barely turning nine before the time the baptismal font is available,
and that requires our teaching and such, but she wanted to get
baptized sooner once she found out she didn't have to memorize the
articles of faith...

I've got to get going now, but i love you and I'lll talk to you next week.

Elder Katzakian
