Hello family,

First off i´m glad to hear that no one got lost up in the mountains for too long... I´ll be honest that i kinda laughed reading that it happened again.. but then after felt bad for laughing because you all were worried and sounds like it was pretty intense... Haha but i am glad everyone is safe and sound now :)

My week was great! Pretty busy but that is always better! On Monday after i wrote you guys we had a bunch of errands we needed to do to prepare for a birthday party that we wanted to do for Axel, Allison and their younger sister Brittany, because all of their birthdays are within a week of each other, and so we had a great big party for them all at the same time. Jenny was soo happy and almost in tears telling us thank you because she was really tight on money these past weeks, and didn't have money to buy her kids a cake. So we basically felt like Santa Clause bringing a whole bunch of little gifts and a big cake. This family is sooo important to me, and i feel so blessed to know them :)

This week we found soooo many amazing people! The Lord was really blessing us. We found a family that is amazing! Ana and Rodolfo are the parents and they have 2 daughters living with them at home, Tatiana and Mariaelena. They are a family super united and happy and that is something really hard to find here. Just seeing the family sitting on the couch together, the mom and dad holding hands, and the two daughters joking around together was amazing to me. I never realized how special i am to have been born into the family that i have. But ya this family basically are perfect Mormons, we just have to help them realize that too :) haha

We also found this cute old lady one day walking in the rain. Sometimes when it rains it´s really a blessing because the people with soft hearts let us right in.. hahaha and so this old widow, who is 89 years old, She´s had a really hard life.. 3 of her kids have already died and she´s really alone. So we just let her talk (Ticas love to talk) and then at the end invited her to church, and guess what... She CAME!! And if was perfect because our Sunday School class was about how families can be together forever. Maybe i´ll be baptizing another old lady :) Also that same day we found 2 other old ladies, both being widows and we talked to them. I felt like President Monson because he always shares his stories about going and visiting the widows :) it was the best :)

Also you all remember Ezequiel right? well he´ll be getting baptized on Sunday!!! We are all soooo excited, especially him :)

We also had a Leadership Meeting this week so i got to see Hermana Fowler!! We are both so very happy that God has given us the same answer and that we can go home together in December :) Also the meeting was great! I learned a lot from President and his wife and i learned a ton!

Well i love you all soo much! Have a wonderful week and no one get lost okay??

Love,
