I´m here in the craziest internet. We showed up because all the other ones were closed and the guy is super drunk and blasting his music but he gave us the hour for free so no complaints. Just partially deaf nothing more. 

Wow, we will be talking on skype in less than a week! How cool is that?! It´ll be the same drill, I get my mini-call on Thursday to coordinate all that business and then I will be calling Sunday afternoon. 

Love you lots mama! 

 This week was pretty good. We have a lot of people progressing and are working hard to get them to baptism. Sometimes if people lose that initial excitement they don´t end up getting baptized, they just kind of flatline in the gospel. We had a cool experience this week looking for a reference. The numbers of the houses are always in disorder and so we were looking for this family but couldn´t find their house. We were pretty frustrated because it was going to be a family and a reference from an active member so we kept looking when, we ran into a family that we had contacted last month! We had passed by their house a couple times but never found them. But, we found them and they let us in this week and we taught them a little bit. It´s a family and they are married (!) Exciting stuff.

 I have been studying the Book of Mormon this week and thinking about Lehi´s dream. I have learned a lot about that dream. It is the best! It has everything! One thing that caught my attention was that the paths that Nephi 12:17 talks about are broad but the path that leads to the tree of life is narrow. I have been thinking about why is Satan´s path broad but the Lord´s narrow? I was thinking about how when a path is wide you think you have a lot of give, a lot of room to move around and still be ok. That´s how Satan wants us to feel. He wants us to think we can do whatever we want and we are ok, we are still on the path. But, the path that leads to true happiness is narrow and there is no room to think that you are ok when you are really headed off the path. That´s what I have been studying this week. 

We had some cold days this week! I had to put on my sweater and everything! Brrr But now it is passing and it is hot again.

 We also passed by a street and found a little monkey on the ground. We went to pick it up but it jumped on the back of a dog and would not come off. It was actually pretty cute. 

Fun stuff. Love you all a ton! And we will talk soon!!!!
