Wow sounds like you guys had an interesting week. I hope everyone feels better. My week has been very interesting as well and very wet. It has beeenn pouring rain non stop for the past 7 days and this morning it finally let up. The good thing is that when it rains some people have more compassion on us and let us in while others are even more frank with us and tell us to go inside and stop wasting time. So we actually work a lot more effectively when it is raining outside haha. The Cofre family that we have been teaching came to church and have accepted baptismal dates and are probably the most prepared people I have ever met in my entire life. They have us coming by their house every day to teach them and this week they have recieved all of the lessons and love it! I love them so much. This next week we are going to review everything we taught this last week to make sure they understand everything. They are a perfect example of what the prophet Alma was teaching when we plant a good seed in our hearts... It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me....This week has been such a precious experience for me, witnessing the change in this family{s life as theirs souls have been enlarged, understanding enlightened, and as they now desire the gospel more than anything else because it has become delicious to them. The gospel is true! It might have been raining this week but not even that could calm the fire that is consuming my sector, the unquenchable fire of the spirit!

Mom I would not be able to go to Disneyland without being released, the stake president would have to release me over the phone..but that is enough talk about getting released. You can talk about Hermana Reed cooming home, that{s fine, but I still have a long time and a great work to do still. I am excited for you guys to be able to pick Lindsay up and to finally make it to England I know that you guys have been wanting to go there for some time. Oh, there is one thing that I need from barcelona.....and I mean NEED!! haha it is an authentic Barcelona Jersey, Hermana Reed should know where to find some. jaja.

Has Connor gotten his eagle scout yet? You mentioned scouts and that popped into my head. How is Holly doing on her personal progress? All of our new converts that are as old as them we have going to seminary and all have recieved the priesthood it is soooo cool. I don´t konw if I told you this but youth from Chile can now leave on the mission at the age of 18. Anyways, I have gotta to go. I love you all!!

Cariño.
