Hello family!!!

 

Today I´m in Toledo!  So, I don´t have a ton of time to write even though I wish I did :)  So, I´ll have to send pics next week and write more.  But, Toledo is really pretty and cool!  Lots to see!  We went to a sword shop.....I didn´t end up buying a sword....they´re sooo expensive!  But, Mom and Dad....when you come....we should plan on coming to Toledo!  Don´t know if that´s in the plans that you have made Dad....but, if you want, I would love to come again!  We haven´t ended up being able to do a ton today....we´ve just seen some shops and went to a military museum which was pretty cool, so anyway....I´d love to come again and just take a look around more and explore if you guys want to:) 

 

And....ok....Elaine Dalton!!!!!!  WHAT!!!!!  That is sooooo cool!  I am SOOOOOOO jealous!  She is incredible.  What was she doing in the Visitor´s Center?  Just visiting?  That is so neat :)  I´m so happy for you guys and that you got to talk with her.  This week has been good, but we found out somemore sad news.

 

So, do you remember the girl from Trinidad, named Shari?  I think I told you about her.  She has a cool English accent :)  She came to church for a second time yesterday, but she´s officially moving tomorrow!  We were super bummed, cause we have been SOOO excited about her!!!!  She let us come over to her house yesterday to help her pack.....we ended up just talking for a long time and she made us dinner.  She made us spaghetti with noodles that were dyed with the ink of squid....yes.....I´m serious :)  Crazy huh?  It didn´t taste any different....but it was crazy to think about :)  Anyway....she is wonderful, we just have to pass her to the other missionaries in Barrio 6 (the other ward that is right next to the temple).  I don´t know.....I guess right now Heavenly Father just wants us to start preparing people for baptism just before they move somewhere or something!  haha :)

 

Anyway, I am so grateful for the Gospel.  I am so grateful for the knowledge we have because of the Gospel in our lives.  People really are lost in the world and they don´t even know it.  The Gospel gives us direction and purpose and helps us understand what the Lord expects of us.  I am grateful for that :)

 

Wow I wish I had more time to write, but I am so happy to have gotten the pics from the hike and from Dev with that family that was picking up their daughter.  How cool!  I love that!  Man....Aubs and Shelly and Hannah and Travis have all grown up so much!  I can´t believe it!  And I had no idea that Lydia had a baby!!!  How exciting!  And Mary is pregnant :)  That is so wonderful :)  Happy happy!

 

I love you guys, I hope that you have a wonderful day and week.  I really hope to write more next week!  Next week is both Hermana Mather and Hermana Nydegger´s last P-day!  Hermana Mather wants me to meet her parents and Hermana Nydegger wanted to make some visits with me to see Marino and Jose Manuel in Torrejón, so I will try and write more next week.  I love you!  Have a wonderful day!
