YESSS! NOOOOO! YESSS!!

We liked Elder Merrill's subject line from his letter this week and he explains the meaning behind it:

Hi everyone.  How are you?  As you might have sseen from the title of this e-mail, my mood is up and down.  Things are slightly more cool here.  We had some rain so that always drops the temperature, but enough about that, I have some important news!
I baptized my first investigator on Saturday, Nov. 10th! His name is Rafael, he is 19 and he is a professional ping pong player.  I had the opportunity to baptize him in the font! I'm so stoked!  I feel like things are ending but at the same time like things are just getting started.
I found out that Obama won. I wanted Romney to win and with Obama I think things won't really get much better back in the states, but I am not here to talk politics. Just a little bummed he won is all.
This week marks 8 months for me on the mission. Can you believe that! This mission is really flying by! I think the summer will go by slowly but things may pick up during the winter in May and June.  We went to the park here in Bolivar this P-day. It was fun! We took some pictures but aside from that, we just did what was normal.  Washed clothes, slept, all that stuff.
Hmm, not much new besides that really.  That is cool that you had such a good stake conference and that Stuart has a chance to work with the missionaries.  Sounds like things are just about normal.  Well, I like it when things are pretty much the same.  I am teaching a bunch of new investigators this week and they are all really solid people.  I hope that things go great for you at home!

Well Elder Merrill, things are great here because we are so happy with the great work you are doing as a missionary!  Thank you for your time and energy and efforts and may God keep you and bless you in your endeavors! Woohoo!
