That´s awesome! I'm so glad that it all turned out well in the end! (I shared my story of being sick with bronchitis and making it to the Lower Lights concert in SLC- last year I bought tickets and got a kidney stone and missed it)

Funny story: We finally found the rat that was living in the house! After about 30 minutes of chasing it around the kitchen we trapped it under a broken bucket. Unfortunately, nobody had told us that mice can jump. so it lept out and attacked the face of Elder Torres before my companion could put it out of our misery with a well placed boot toss. So yeah, we gave it a nice funeral in a plastic bag. But not before taking a selfie!

This week we had a great experience while doing visits with a Young single adult. We went to visit a less active member and they had invited their neighbor to come over. We taught about the Plan of Salvation but the neighbor had some questions about how to know which church is true. The YSA who was with us shared his testimony and explained how he could pray to know the truth, and invited him to do so. He put an appointment to come back and visit him, and sincerely testified of the importance that this will have in his life. This was a great experience for both us and the member who came with us because he has been going through some trials lately and was a little discouraged, and had begun to doubt his decision to go on the mission. Now he is more excited than ever to serve a mission and wants to help us in as many lessons as possible in the coming weeks! 

Changes in mission rules! We are now able to go to the temple every 6 months starting in January! That´ll be awesome. Unfortunately, I´ll still only be able to go once. But I am super excited! 

We will also be having a Christmas Party this week! It'll be a blast!
Just to let you know, we will be able to skype on the 24th or 25th, whichever is better for you. And at whatever time, so long as we finish before 9PM. We will have 40 minutes to talk.

Have a great week!
