Dear Family,

The first picture is of me and my companions and hna Creel.  Yesterday we had an activity of hermanas.  There are like 34 sisters in our mission.  That´s just an approxamation. 

The second is hna Real and me making tortillas.  yay tortillas.  So delicious...

I have more pictures but it took me like ten minutes to load two. So... 

I have a picture of myself by the grounds where they are going to build the temple whenever they decide to let us have a temple! 

It´s in Las Colinas. 

Um... I´m really glad to be back in my area.  I spent half the transfer in Las Coinas.  There are some really neat people in Las Colinas.  I would love to see them again.  I want to see Janis, he´s the one that said there´s an emptiness we feel that can´t be filled with water or food that there is something more that we have to do here. I want to see him baptized!  Yay!

  Here we are working with Henry, a 15 year old that loves the church and everything, he´s just super Catholic and LOVES maria.  He´s a really fun kid. His dad just got baptized. 

  Alez and Valeria they are a young couple that have gone to church twice, I think.  They want to get baptized and everything but Alex is a little afraid of messing up after his baptism.  He´s trying to stop smoking. 

I talked to Hna Martinez and her companion Hna Reuel yesterday.  Everyone is doing well in La Borgoña.  The people in Masatepe are good too.  It was great to talk to Hna Silva again yesterday.  When we´re in the moment, we don´t realize how greatly we are blessed and how much God is helping us.  But talking to Hna Zapeta before she went home and with Hna Silva yesterday made me remember how much God really participates and how families can completely change. And how many miracles, big and small I have been able to see. AWESOME!

    I´m not going to lie.  I´ve been thinking about the elections.  Thanks for the update.  I´ve been thinking about how elections are tuesday and I´m going to write on Monday.  Honestly, I´m not sure if the people here will know who won the election.  The news here is mostly how people have gotten killed or hurt in car accidents.  But, yeah I think they´ll probably annouce something about the election on television... I´ll have to ask around a little...

   Dad, thanks for the letters.  I liked your thought about John I´ll have to think a little bit more so I can internalize the grace for grace frase. I mean... phrase.  Sounds like fun to have Alice and Elizabeth there.  

Mom, thanks for the notes and the packages.  It takes about two weeks for a letter to get here . 

Everyone else, there isn´t enought time to write.  But I love you all and I hope you are all doing great.

We are going to baptize a lot here!  yes! 

Paul, that´s great that you´re doing the diet

Dani I hoppe your back feels better.

 Kevin, and Cheryl, hope you and the munchkins are doing well
