HoLa! CoMo Esteis?

Crazy that the summer is pretty much over, time is just flying by! Tommorrow is my mission birthday, I turn 5. I am old, there are now two younger groups of missionaries, it is so weird. And now all the people back home are leaving, any more calls, or just preparing? I heard Amber quit her job - that's crazy, but the family is the most important thing, and the Lord provides when we put things that are most important first: GOD and FAMILY are the MOST important things in this world! People always ask how we can leave our families for two years, and it's an easy reply, God has called us here, and he will take care of our family. El Evangelio de Jesucristo es muy importante para todos personas, especialmente para la familia porque la familia es de Dios, Dios es Nuestro Padre Celestial!! Elder Lopez is great, he is a great missionary, he is from Florida, but was born in Vera Cruz, Mexico. Guess what? We have a baptism set up for this weekend, he passed the interview we will go over tommorrow to set everything up for the baptism, it is way exciting. We have some others who are really close so please pray for them to have strength. (Leticia, Jasmin, Pancho)

Well, good luck with the fair and the upcoming school year with sports and all. Dominate and do your best, remember that's all we can do. Put in everything you've got, and God makes up for the rest. God is great! Today we went to buy groceries, and the lady in front of us was a member. She got done and was loading her cart and when we went to pay for our groceries, she told the cashier she was going to pay for it. Don't worry about me, out here God is watching out for me, He takes care of his children.

PS If you're going to Provo, do you think you can buy some garments and send them out here? I kinda need more. If you could, that would be great! Thanks! Love you all a bunch.
