Remember that family I wrote about last week? well the mom is named Rosa (Rose), her daughters are Luz (Light) and Rocio (Dew). Well it turns out that they are super prepared! But I mean SUPER prepared! We taught them about the restoration, the plan of salvation, and baptism! They are super excited and accepted our invitation to come to church this sunday. We also hope that they´ll be able to come to the baptism of Kimberly and Edwin this saturday!
Oh yeah, Baptism this saturday! We´ve been teaching the Gomez Family for about a month and a half now and this saturday Kimberly and Edwin will be getting baptized! They are a family of 3: Veronica (reactivated member), Kimberly (14, super shy but watch out if she gets angry), and Edwin (11, a rambunctious child).
This week we did something kind of cool: We did an exorcism on a house! ok, not quite like that. We did a blessing for a house. Some recent converts had been having some problems lately and their daughter (4 yrs old) claimed to have seen spirits and other strange stuff, so we jumped into action! After the blessing they say that everything is better and the problems have calmed down.
I Love You!

Stay tuned until next time when Elder Phillips sends pictures!
Here is Becky's letter with a short reply.
So she actually graduated! It has been a very busy weekend! But you know those are always the funnest. Aunt Sally uncle DEL, Tevon, Emma, and Grandma came to visit for the weekend. I don't know if I told you, Chris couldn't come because he's in Ireland! He went with school and will be there for six weeks. So fun! They haven't heard from him much, so I can't tell you any highlights yet. Our highlights were
1: going to jump Creek Falls. It's a nice little walk into a waterfall, can't really be considered a hike there for Ellie can't complain :-) I actually think she's getting better, she's hanging out with adventurous people that make her be OK with hiking. Grandma loved exploring, and the girls actually got in that frigid water! I will have to send those pictures separately.
2. We went to garage sales :-) that was at Sally's number one request one coming here. I found some good things, some cute clothes for little baby savanna, and a new coffee table! But nobody was there selling the gospel ;-) not like your yard sales!
3. I took all the girls up to see great grandma Thompson up in Haines Oregon. She will be 97 years old in September! I doubt she will make it that long though. We enjoyed our visit with her. My aunt Denise was there, And she let the girls ride her horses. They got to brush them down and braid their hair also :-) they were in heaven! We also went and visited aunt Charlene and uncle Jerry. She is in really bad shape! She fell and shattered the ball joint of her shoulder and had to have it replaced, And then a week after that fell on it again! I think they are putting her on hospice which usually means you only have at the most six months to live. They still love you, and ask about you

Wow!
1. That sounds awesome and super fun!
2. Well somebody´s got to start! Buy a few book of mormon and start handing them out!
3. That sounds like fun, but it´s a real bummer hearing about Aunt Charlene and Great Grandma Thompson. So they´re thinking that they only have a few months left? they really need our prayers.
