Hola a todo!

Crazy week. Lots of working! Wednesday was very good, we planned our first baptism for July 28th with Domenico! He is 66 and is married to a recently re-activated wife who is very cool and cooks very well! He has come a long way and its been incredible to see the change in his face over the last two months.

That same day we were walking and a woman ran up to us and was like, Elders!! come over for lunch right now! Turns out the family (from peru) has been living in our area for 1 year and have never had their records transfered from their old ward. So we got them to go church that Sunday and they are completely excited about it and are being reactivated!! The Mother told us Sunday night that she NEVER goes out shopping at that hour or to that same place where we just happened to be doing contacts!! SUCH a great family and they completely revitalized the
ward (which only has 3 YW and 6 YM as it is) They have 3 kids age 10, 12, and 16. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

We taught two new investigators; who are very humble and exceptional people. One of them teaches English to young children. This Sunday we were late to going to pick up a family for
church and were at the bus stop so we started to pray for the bus to come and as soon as we stopped praying the bus turned the corner! Then the bus broke down and we started to sing hymns while we waited for the bus to start working again and then another bus of the same number turned the corner and we got onto it and made it 3 minutes late to the house.

That same night we were 4 contacts shy of the 140 a week contact goal and our last four contacts were all excellent people and we set one appointment with a very accepting person for this week. YES!

I will keep you all posted as the work progressing thanks for your prayers and love. OH ps,
its snowing today, well kind of. It's like Seattle snow but still pretty cool- we played basketball in it and it reminded me of driveway ball! AND my first temple trip is Wednesday! I'm quite excited!! It will be in Spanish! Very cool!

Love you all!
