Hola familia!!
So we had a great week, we spent a lot of time getting
everything ready for the baptism! YES the baptism!! We had it on Saturday and
it went better than expected. We were worried about getting people there to
support and everything, but we had 27 people there and it went really well!
Then he was confirmed yesterday in church. The members came in clutch for sure,
the Arrua family had a projector and screen and music and everything. We could
not have done it without them! German seems really happy. and his mom told us
that she can see how much he has changed and that their relationship is really
improving for sure! I was so happy to hear that!
Funny moment of the week. So we went to visit this less
active/recent convert family in our branch this week. He is very outdoorsy and
hunting and stuff. They live in the smallest house I have ever seen in my life
and they have 15 dogs, 2 cats, and a goat! haha that is not all. So we show up
and the wife says, my hands are dirty so I wont shake your hands (thank heavens!)
we get back to their house and she was skinning a beaver!!! hahaha so funny.
(mom you gotta step up, I will be expecting some beaver pelts when I get home)
then we go in and they also had another baby beaver in a cage that he wants to
train like a dog. It was a fun experience for sure!
So we have been trying to eat more healthy and spend less
money at the same time so that has been good! We both bought some protein to
make shakes and stuff which has helped a lot because we cut out cereal and
pancakes (for a while). I have been eating more fruits and eggs hah
This week we had 17 people in church!! I never in my whole
life thought I would be so happy to say such a low number, but as I was sitting
up in front getting ready to bless the sacrament it was just pure happiness to
see a good handful of people. I hope that number keeps rising!
So I'm sorry I don't have a ton to say this week, it was a
good week but now we are gonna go hard to find some new people to teach!! I
love you all, have a great week!!

Mom´s Questions
Question: *Will you guys be able to watch conference? How
will that work?
-Yes we get to watch 3 of the 5 sessions! (Sat AM, Sun AM,
& Sun PM) that is more than they got the last time so I will take it! We
are still trying to find a way to watch it in English! ;)
Question: Do you feel like there
are parts of your area where there are people who have never been contacted by
missionaries, or is it so small that pretty much everyone knows about the
missionaries and the church?
-Yeah there are a lot of people who have never really
seen/noticed the missionaries and stuff! That makes it nice, but there are a
good amount who have seen the missionaries too.
