"I had so much to do today!!! I had to get my suit drycleaned, buy a ton of cleaning supplies, and a new watch cuz mine got smashed in a car door and shattered it.. (my arm is ok) haha Also believe it or not I got a flea last night... I have huge bites all over my back! It sucks... But yeah I took a shower and today we washed my hammock so all should be good...

Well, on the spiritual side... We are still bogged down with investigators.. we have two baptisms this week... Wendy Flores, and Manuel... we´re way excited!

Also we had a really cool experience.. there is this fam who is inactive... the lady was over at her mom's house while we were there getting food... we felt prompted to ask her if we could come visit them... we got there and found out that it was a miracle that we even got let in cuz here husband is like way anti mormon now and he hasn't been letting anyone from the church come over... so basically what happened to them is that they got really offended by the bishop and anyway we talked to them for like an hour about the atonement and how they can work through this anger... the lady broke down crying and said that she had been praying for a way to be able to go back to church and to get over her anger... she told us we were sent from God and that she would have never returned to the church if not for our visit... the husband was still very bitter... but the next day he called us and asked us to give his daughter a blessing!!!! haha He also told us he will think about talking to the stake pres about this problem he has with the bishop.... the Lord is constantly putting people in our path for us to help... member or nonmember... life is great here, time is going by fast!!! i´m healthy for the most part..

oh wow... I also recieved some really scary news... I might get made senior companion this change. If I do that's really crazy cuz no one raises up that soon... if I do I will be the first in our mission not to have two senior companions.... crazy!!! What's more there are also 18 new missionairies coming... so I might go up to trainer too! I can't believe it! The mission president is crazy!"

Love ya!
