Hola familia,
It was good to talk to all you guys yesterday. Hopefully everyone feels better this week and that all goes well with school and basketball and work.

Yesterday church went really well because Fiorella and her two kids Keiko and Santiago were able to come. We had to get up early and walk for almost an hour to get to their house, but it was worth it. They had a really good experience in church. We hope that they´ll be able to make it this week too, and make it a good habit. Yesterday was the first time in 12 years that Fiorella went to church. She only attended for about a month after her baptism, so there is a lot of things that she doesn´t understand very well, but we´re re-learning with her and her daughters. Today we have a family home evening with them, so that should be really good.

Time is going by quite fast now. Every day I hear from people how little time I have left. But it´s just more of an incentive to make every minute count. We´re still struggling to find a lot of new families to teach, but we´re really focusing on a couple of families, with all hope that they can come to Christ and progress towards baptism. Every time we go to Marta´s house, she´s sharing with another friend or another relative. This week we found her son´s girlfriend, named Gabriela, and she was really awesome. She lives in another area, but we were able to send the reference to other missionaries. So Marta´s still progressing a lot, and this month she´s going to teach a sewing class for Relief Society too, so she´s pretty excited.

Well, it was awesome to hear from you guys yesterday. Love you guys.
Love, David
