HOLA MI FAMILIA!!!

Como estan? This week has gone by really fast. I can´t believe I´ve been here for a month! I still have lots to learn if I want to serve even more. There is always things we can be improving though. This week we had a ward activity for the married couples about eternal marriages. We didn´t do much for planning that but helped cooking and cleaning and during. We are planning a breakfast party thing for the ward soon too and I was thinking about doing sometime of banana split party for the ward with the articles of faith like we did in primary becuase we really need references from the memebers but we need the references to be prepared first so we are trying to help teach the members how to teach and fast and pray and do all these things before giving their names to us. Really it would be nice to have names at all but I think that that will be a good way to help them because everyone should know the articles of faith. Only problem is I don´t think they really know what a bannana split is. haha. we might have to  change the desert. crepes or something... I don´t know why i thought of that. they don´t have crepes either. Anyways We are always looking for ward activities and ideas for family home evening so please send them to me! or mom all of your object lessons in young womens would be perfect like the chocolate thing (not exactly perfect cause i don´t think they have dove but you get the idea) and also can you send me a list of just games like the one where you pick up the m&m and put it in a cup with a straw or... i don´t know games like that. That would be a great help! 

So... no baptisms. Yup satan is one strong nobody. We will keep working with Alejandro & Leila as well as our other investigators. We have a lot of new ones again this week. We´re really good at finding new investigators.... haha but we´ve reevalutaed our teaching and hope our numbers and effectiveness will go up this week. 

I bought rainboots today just plain black but they will be good for the swimming pools! 

Also I haven´t been to the office today so I don´t know if i received anything but we´re going after this and I hope I do cause I want to hear more from ALL of you! We have been printing out our letters since we don´t have that much time so if it´s easier just to send an email that is great too. 

I Seriously can´t beleive it´s summer there! SERIOUS! CRAZY for me to think about. Soak up those rays. I really wanted to bring smores for everyone on the beach the next time but the idea will not go in vain because I might use it for an indoor ward activity. don´t know where we´ll get the fire but i don´t know it´s a spark of an idea. I don´t think they know what they are... how sad.

I love you all so much! I´ll see you in a jiffy. mmmm.. jiffy muffins. dang it i don´t have an oven. Lol. maybee I could microwave it. first i´d have to find it... okay time for me to go!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
