And his email:
Dear Family¡
In this email I'm going to be using the upside down exclamation point because the button for the right side up one is broken..... how lame..... It's good to hear that everyone is keeping busy and that my Giants are still in the hunt for the World Series title. Too bad BYU football is slacking this year though...... and I am VERY excited for Andrew that he may be starting his (missionary application) papers. I really do feel like that boy is ready to go and do.

| Marjorie's Baptism |
This email is going to be one of my shorter ones, if not the shortest one,
because I'm running out of time on the computer, and Elder Garcia and I have
service to do¡¡¡¡ The highlights of the week, or the highlight of the week was
Marjorie's baptism, and the whole event went so, so well for her and for everyone
that attended. Her mom actually came to the baptism and came to church, and even
though she won't admit it, I think she had a really good time; I have a feeling
we might start teaching her soon..... The changes in Marjorie's life are just so
evident; she is so much happier; she's doing better in school, and at work. Across the
board she is just doing better and her mom has noticed that more than anyone.
Tuesday we had the funeral of the Abuelita of the Pardo family and the service
went really well. Church funerals are just so different than the funerals of the
world. I remember walking at the cemetery and seeing the pain and the stress of
the people attending other services, but as we stood around her grave site and
the people there bore testimony of how great of a woman this abuelita was and IS, and that they know that this step is not the end, we felt a very strong sense of
peace for everyone there, a peace that I don't think is present at other
services. The Pardo's came to church this Sunday, and we had family home evening
with them last night, and they are all in good spirits. Sadly, Javier wasn't able
to come to church yesterday, and that was particularly sad because Elder Clyde
and Miller came out to visit for the baptism and they really wanted to see him.. *They were the elders that found him and started teaching him*

| Weather warming up a bit |
I got a few letters this week, really amazing ones from Dan Lynch and from
Marissa, so if mom wants to facebook them and tell them thank you and that a
response is coming soon, that would be sweet :D. I'll keep my eyes peeled for
letters from the stake and for your package. I love you all. The Church is true, and we have a true Prophet of God in these days, and we are so incredibly fortunate
to have this Gospel in our lives, I read a really good little message from this
months Liahona magazine by President Uchtdorf about forgiveness; if you have time, READ
IT, its super good. I glued it in my journal, that's how good it was.
Thank you all so much for all that you are doing for me. I wish you the
best in all of your endeavors and I am praying for you¡¡¡¡¡
until next week,
con amor,
Elder Schwartz
