WOW!! So Much is going on back home! And Grandma and Grandpa are building a NEW HOUSE???? Santa Vaca!! Where are they going to build it? So the package still hasn't arrived, but that's ok. I'll probably get sent down to the offices to renew my green card in a week or two, so I'll just get it then. I was thinking the other day, I'm a pretty spoiled missionary. It seems like you're always sending me packages of goodies and stuff. That's not a complaint or anything, I'm just saying... thanks. It's pretty awesome :) You're the best :) 

So this week We ate a new type a food called Panuchos!  It's like a tortilla stuffed with meat and cheese topped with lettuce, tomato, an egg (sunny side up) , cream, and more cheese! With salsa too! They were big and tasty and I ate a few of them. This week we alos had a baptism! Her name is Blanca Sánchez. The next day in church she was Confirmed and Then bore her tetimony! She had been investigating the church for about 2 years until we started teaching her. We invited her to pray specifically to God about her baptism and she got an answer! That´s what I love about God, he never lets us down. Never! He may not always give us the answer that we want, but he´ll always give us the one that we need. And thus it came to pass that we had a baptism on saturday.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties I am unable to upload photos. 

Also: Here´s a little shout out to the Newson family! Thank you for sending such a wonderful Valentines Day Card!

I Love You Mom! Have a wonderful week!

How aweome! I love it when the Converts in the church have super strong testimonies! And good luck on your new calling! Remember when one of the girls prayed that you'd be Bishop? That was super funny! I hope you get put in the Sunbeams. It'd be nice for you to be back with people of your own maturity level :) haha!

So everyone down here hates Donald Trump. EVERYONE! They only know that he wants to build the wall bigger and stuff and kick out all the illegal immagrants, but they all have illegal family living in the states... so they hate him. So what's actually going on there in the political world? Who's running? Who's winning?

I Still love how he calls it "Open mike Sunday". And how old is Ashley? There's a young lad down here (17 yrs old) who's going out with a less active member and she's coming back to church now. Maybe I could try the same approach with her after the mission. No promises, just saying that it may be an option. But I'll need photos, her full name, interests, age, and all other relevant information sent to me in the next email. :D

I Love You!
