well as for me this week was pretty good. gabriel the mom didnt go to church this week so now she cant be baptised on that date so we will set a new one. we also want to be sure that she has a testimony and completely understands everything so in a way its kind of good. and our conceicao that we are helping to quit smoking she is doing well. this week we just focused on lessons and prayer and forgot about pressing stop smoking for a week because it wasn't working and if she gains a stronger testimony she will more easily quit.

this week we had english class and it went really well. carla went and i had this thought to bring along this member named humberto and they met and hit it off immediately it was hilarious. and also marta and angelina came who are these less active members who just saw the sign outside and decided to come so that was really cool. hopefully we can start teaching them and get them back to church. so i was super happy about that.

and today for pday we played basketball and we sweated our heads off. then we went on a little hike to this waterfall. it was cool. there wasnt a lot of water but it was pretty. it was fun. we also got some gelado kiwi and pineapple it was delicious. and once again i got sunburnt pretty dang good. i wore a shirt with shorter sleeves than usual so now ive got white red line pretty hardcore its funny good old mission tans. they are ridiculous. but thats about it.

thanks for everything and i hope you enjoy your time in utah with everybody. say hi to all the sisters and shawn and sister/brother in laws and that i love them. well i love you and ill talk to you later thanks for all the pics as well they are precious.

love
