> I forgot to tell you all that we had a baptism this last

> We had the funnest activity ever this last weekend. We went

> those little dudes could sing. Then I ran into I think my

> flipped. We chatted for a good while and he ended up taking
> 2 books, one for him and one for his son, and for the first
> time in my mission the contact ended with a hug, 2 hugs
> actually. It was so cool because I love talking to cubans
> because it is like my unknown heritage, and he was super
> happy to know that there was someone in spain that shared
> his blood. It was so so so cool. He may have been as excited
> as I was.

> Well, I am out of time.
