Speaking of baptims! The family I told you all about last week was bapized on Saturday!!! It was such a cool experience. Elder Crithfield baptized the dad, Elder Xavier baptized one the one daughter over 8, and I baptized the mom. It was my first baptism and a really special experience. The spirit was there so strong and it was amazing to see the happiness in their faces. Then we confirmed them on Sunday and I confirmed the daughter, and tha was a super awesome experience too. A lot of new things happening and a lot of new things being learned. I am so thankful I am here! Being a missionary is great!
We had Zone Conference yesterday too. President and Sister Scisci and the Assistants all gave training and all of it was great. Plus myself, Elder Crithfield, and two other elders sang I´m Trying to be like Jesus as a special number for Sister Scisci that she requested which went well. President and Sister Scisci are so great. I can feel their love for us and their desires to serve. I want to be my best for them.
I´ve got to go now, but I love you all! I hope things continue to go well at home and I will write to you all again next week! Oh! And Elder Crithfield is sick, possibly something bad called dengue, so please keep him in your prayers.
Love, your son,

Thanks for praying for Elder Crithfield! He is doing much better now and I know your all´s prayers helped him to get better. Also! Could you both get me Eryn´s address? I would love to write her and see how she is doing.
I got the package! AND IT IS AWESOME!!! Thank you both soooooo much for it, espeically since it cost so much to send. I really appreciate what you both sent me and I will make sure to take good care of all of it - especially ´Jesus the Christ´ - and use it all well. Also, I was wondering. One of the main focuses here on the mission is setting goals, learning, and growing. I was wondering if you both could think and maybe send me some goals of things you both would like me to learn, improve on, and grow in here on the mission. I´m trying to make and set goals to grow in many areas, and I would love some advice on goals I could make and how I could accomplish them.
SO! This past week has gone well. We are working a lot to try and find new investigators to teach, since Elder Crithfield was sick for a while, and that is going well. Elder Crithfield only has a little bit more than 5 months left in the mission, and he is getting tired. We´ve talked some about that because at times I feel like we lose focus maybe, but we are both working to do better with that and be the best we can be.
We have found some new people to teach, which is great. And I think we will have a baptims this coming Saturday! The nephew of the man we baptized a couple of weeks ago. His name is Renato and he is super cool, so hopefully that will work out. Also! Exciting news! We are getting Sisters in our Zone! i´ve never been around the Sisters, so it will be cool to have them here.
I´ve got to head out now, but life here is good! Thank you both for your prayers, love, and everything! You both are the best parents in the whole world! i love you both!
Love, your son,
Elder Christopher Lee Dunn
