Dear Family,

SAY WHAT? LANE IS NOT TALLER THAN ME???!! (haha) HI everybody!

This week was awesome. We found two families this week and they are both reading the Book of Mormon already after the first lesson. WHOO-HOOOO! We have had so much fun this past week because Elder Aranda is about to finish his mission and right now he has this super fun attitude and we are working like champs! I have never walked this fast, or been this tired. We did a ton of contacting and teaching this week, but once again all of our investigators failed to come to church AHH! Frustrating. This past week also I learned how important having the Spirit is. Without the Spirit I can't do anything. The Spirit is huge, and we need to live worthy of it at all times. If not. . . well, that is why we have the atonement in our lives. This week was all about learning to use the Spirit and be more aware of promptings. Mom, I will give you the credit when you asked me to write Lane. However, throughout the week my thoughts reflected often to Lane and how much I want him to come HERE in this mission. That part was from the Lord. 

Family, I can tell you are partying without me in YAKIMA! AHHHH! I miss that place. We also have an elder here from Yakima and he knows Jeremy. He is Mexican but right now I can"t remember his name! Lane is not taller than me. It is not possible, and if he is, I will fix that problem haha jk. Anna, I'm assuming is having fun with her friends without the boys. . . good :) Family, don't worry about me. I have put the weight back on. No se preocupe! I miss home but can't tell you how much fun the mission is and how much I love it. 

Next week we are going to have cambios and I will be receiving a new companion, and I will probably stay here in Lerma Technologico. I have loved the members here but one is just killing our investigators and offending them like crazy. We have so many opportunities to baptize here. I love it. Without baptism no one can enter into the kingdom of God. I love hearing from you and all your fun adventures. Jeremy is jumping like a boss. 6' 4"?!  NO ME DIGA!!! Wow! He has really done well. Jordan I hope he is well. I love you all.


Keep the Spirit in your lives a.k.a. be obedient.
