Una Familia Dios nos dio

Hola queridos mios,
como va volando el tiempo!

Feliz 5 de Mayo, ay!ay!ay!  I need to find myself a burrito!  My companion is confused why we celebrate this day... I am too, For me its a great day to celbrate our close neighbors the Mexicans and eat delcious food.  Holidays are great!  and I can only imagine stephens outfit today... I miss that goofball.  

Well this pday came fast... if only every week I got to cut off two days, its great!  Luckily I get to hear from you in no time at all! GO SUNDAY!!  GO MOTHERS!  This week we finished the book of mormon as a mission.  We started at the begining of the year and three transfers later we all closed the good book took a deep breath and my guess is everyone individually started reading again.  haha  I think its the first time I have actually stayed to a schedule of reading before, and I liked it!  Its weird how you read a chapter and thaneverything that day relates to what you read. As a mission we grew together and learned a lot. The book of mormon makes magic happen. haha Every prophet is my personal hero and role model, It gives me hope to become that much more as a true disciple and represetative of Christ.  I also finished the new testament!!!  My honest opinion, it started out excellent and by revelations I was a little bit bored or confused. Matherw mark and luke I could read all day, but the ending... mehh, Talk about crazy dreams.  and Now on to the old testament!  wish me luck... lots of luck!  

This week was a week of families, miracles led from one to another .  We have been trying for transfers to teach families all together and this week we taught three!!! the first two.  The first faimily, Jaun Carols and his family of four. A family torn between two different regligions, evnagelical and jehovahs witnesses.  The whole time I was just thinking, wont it be great when your are united together in the true church of Christ!  Boom lets talk about the temple shall we...  The second, Simon and his family of four as well.  We are teaching their grandma and tia who live just right next door.  Their girls, Erika and Delfina are angels! I love them so much!  She is doing the childrens true to the faith and the last lesson we had she whispered in my ear the question when she could be baptized.  She is eight years old.  Talk about a child of Faith!!  however we have to be careful because she reads the book of mormon instead of doing her homework.. haha we put them all on the baptism date together for the beginning of next month.  They are so prepared!!!  The last family was a big miracle.  It was one of my street contacts a few weeks ago, and after all of our plans literally went down the toilet we were left with what seemed like nothing to do...  Marcello!  He was friendly, lets go visit him.  Well He let us in, and his wife (who happens to love english), and their daughter all joined in.  They havent found a church they like yet, but are always reading andn praying.  He is going to be president of the branch someday, just Right after he prays about the restoraration.  They have five kids.  GO FAMILIES GO FAMILIES!  aweee estoy feliz.  

Yesterday was fast sunday I felt like I needed to get up but I was playing musical chairs... I needed flower peddles... Should I... Shouldnt I... Should I... Shouldnt I...  Well The moment passed and president Ashton gets up to close the meeting. You know when you just get so mad at yourself for the devil on your shoulder, That was me. Before I knew it President was calling my up for the closing testimony.  Second CHance!  So I closed the meeting, without knowing exactly what I wanted to say but knowing that I needed too.  I still dont know why he asked me, but I have never been more guided by the spirit.  I dont remember anything I said, but after I had various members tell me how they literally understtood everything I said perfectly without errores in my spanish and with tears in their eyes a big thankyou.  How incredible to be a mouth Piece of the Lord.  It was an incredible expereinece.

We ate with the Familia miguens again this week, our inactive family.  and while eating they received a text message ¨¨Hello, this is the envanglico missionaries, we would like to invite you to church this sunday at...¨ Are you serious? Is this real lifed?they are sending messages now not evening out knocking!!!  Well I wasnt having it, so we sent back a message.  ¨¨Sorry we¨re currently busy eating dinner with the Mormons...  have a nice day and the book of mormon is true.¨ hehe 

I am so excited to hear from you this weekend!  shaking in my boots excited!  Better start thinking of great stories, questions, and inspired thoughts now so we dont waste a moment!!  Love you!!!
