New baptisms

Sean is doing fantastic! They had 2 more baptisms last week. Kimberly and Jennifer, 16 & 13 years old sisters. Sean was able to baptize one and his companion the other. He says the Spanish is getting way easier but still having a hard time expressing himself the way he wants to. He says it is getting pretty cold! Feels more cold inside there house than outside he says and it has been raining like crazy making the streets flood. He is liking his new companion and says there are a ton of new missionaries in the zone. The zone all went to the zoo today and thought for sure he saw Cory and Justin in the monkey cage, wait what?! Anyways, I hope your enjoying the updates, I know this will be fun for Sean to have and look back on when he is all finished. 5 months and counting.....keep on keeping on Elder Swenson, we love you!

More Pictures and an update

Sean has a new companion from SLC, his name is Elder Lloyd. He is pretty excited about it but says he is sad to see Elder Hoyas go. Him and his new comp are in charge of 2 sectors now so he says they have a lot of work to do. It is very cold and rainy in Chile right now and he sent me a pic of him walking down the street which was flooded with water. Of course he took his shoes off so they wouldn't get dirty! He might be a GREAT missionary but he is still a girl, ha! Here some new pictures he sent.


Here he is holding his shoes so they don't get wet!

These are his favorite kids! Fercey is 5 and Lia is 11

Um...swine flu ninja's?
