Dear Madre!!

Things are doing good this past week. To be honest this transfer is going WAY faster then the last transfer. Its pretty crazy how fast it is going. So with that guy R R that we found, found out that he had been taught like a year ago and had gone to church a bunch of times so we were excited. But then we also found out that the reason he wasnt baptized is cuz he is not divorced from his first wife and is living with his new wife. And i dont know exactly why he cant be divorced, i think its just cuz it costs a lot of money, like 600 bucks or something like that. So idk what were gonna be doing for him. Hopefully finding a way to get that resolved. Were needing to find more people to teach, its just hard cuz i feel i have talked to everyone haha. Especially the Hispanics, cuz there are spots where hispanics are heavily populated. Its funny, cuz they all know us. Like yesterday night we had to help a lady move into these apartment complexes "Tierra Nueva". ONLY hispanics live there. And we go there ALL the time, and we werent in our proslyting clothes cuz we were moving stuff. But EVERYONE was watching us two, cuz they knew us, that we are the "Mormons" haha. It was funny. Im kinda getting used to everyone staring at us all the time. Like after this we go to walmart, and everyone just stares at us, its funny. ha.

So we did some service this last week as well helping out the english elders. We Seeded a ladies lawn. Like we had to do everything though. It took us like 4 or 5 hours to doo. But guess what i forgot to doo? haha. You know me mom, sunscreen. I got probably the worst burn i have ever had haha. My neck is peeling super bad and looks ugly right now. But im good. Its funny to cuz i look back and i had a chance to put sunscreen on cuz the lady brought some out, but i didnt, and so i paid the consequences haha. Its not that bad. But i might send a picture sometime. Hey by the way, did you get the pictures i sent like a couple emails ago and stuff? I just wasnt sure if you had.

I guess i had another pretty cool experience this past week. We were tracting and it was getting close to go home, and we were walking by a park and i saw this guy playing basketball. And as soon as i saw him i pictured like how i was gonna talk to him and how everything would play out. So we kept walking and then E. Olivares was like alright lets go back and turns around before we even got to him. And so i turn around and I'm just thinking i need to talk to this guy. So i kinda turn around as were walking and am just looking at him. And E. Olivares is just like what? And I told him I need to go talk to him. So he said okay and we went and did. And I walked over there and started talking to him, and everything happened the way that i had pictured it. We just started chatting about stuff and he was like hey wanna shoot the ball? And he passed hit to me, and just like every little thing and we were just chilling with him and talking to him. And ended up getting a referrall for the English Elder's. It was just really cool, I felt that the spirit realy worked through me then, and it felt really good to listen to the promptings and follow through with it.

Thank you for all the prayers and support. I appreciate and it helps a lot. Thanks for being awesome parents and always being there for me when i need you!! I love you all!! Talk to you later and you have a great week!!
