Que Rapido El Tiempos

Bueno Bueno Bueno Bueno,

Well how is everyone? Doing good I suppose? This week blew by. I can't believe it is Monday again. The time is going too fast. Someone needs to go tell Father Time to knock it off! So things were great this week! I can't even remember much of what we did, but I think out of the 7 days we were with the Sotelo Highnote Gore family for like 4 days. Their family is so awesome. We just always teach them, and they feed us. It’s legit. Wally and Michael are progressing greatly! They have such good testimonies. Wally was telling us out of all the churches he has been to, this one he likes the most and it makes the most sense to him. And he believes it and can't wait to be baptized! We are so excited for him. We are working a little more on the kids because we want them to know what they are doing exactly before they get baptized. Which is good, ya know, because we don't want them going inactive right after. So they are doing fantastic. They didn't come to church on Sunday because they were sick. But we went over there last night to check on them and they are doing great, they told us that they have been reading at least once a day and praying, and that it’s been really helping them. It’s so great to see how much they have grown since I have been here.

The Arreola's Tambien are also doing good. We had a little fellowshipping party at President Olsen's home on Friday and I think it went super well. We just had Hispanos there and I think they liked it a lot. Lou Lou told the Olsen boys that her mom and dad really liked the party a lot. So that’s good. They came to church on Sunday and stayed for Sunday school. And we did it in Spanish. I was so happy. My Spanish is getting kind of shakey. But I am good. The speaking part just kind of goes away but then, once I get going, I'm gone! I taught on prayer and I think it went really well. Lou Lou was paying attention, and I could tell that she sincerely wants to pray. So that is always good for an investigator to have desires. I think she will be baptized in Feb. She is hard to get a hold of. But she has really good reasons, she is a cheerleader, on dance team, and in student government. So she is very involved!!! Which is good to hear. She went sledding with the branch on Saturday and I guess it went well. With Francisco, the dad, he is a really nice and humble man. I think he will take a little longer, but I think he is doing well. He didn't come to church because he had to work, other than that, he is doing great.

Overall, things are going fantastic here, the work is good, the weather is terrible, and I am happy!! I had a good interview with President Kunz this last week and he said I am doing great. And I would have to agree, I am doing great! This last week I have really focused on doing my studies well and studying when I have a chance to study. I love reading now. Most people hearing me say that would think I am crazy. But I do. I love it. If I could just study all day, I would. Study the Gospel, that is. Anything else? Naaah. The scripture studies and the prayers we say every day really do help the day to be better. So I urge ya'll to read and pray every morning! It will help the day go by better and you will find your faith will be strengthened, and an abundance of the spirit will be with you! I hope and pray for each of you every day. I love you all so much! and I hope you have a very spirit filled week!!!

con amor siempre!!
