Malaga was SO SO amazing! I would have to say that this was easily my best trip there! Yesterday we just chilled with the Frost´s. Elder Frost shaved my face... haha I will show Dad and Ad when I get home, after we just chilled with them all day and had lunch with them. Concilio was also so so good. I love the Deeres! We just got back about 30 minutes ago! Man... it is HOT today!

We have got a pretty good week ahead of us. We should keep pretty busy, we will also have zone meeting this Friday, which always makes the week fly! We will be giving a taller on either 1 teaching to our investigators needs 2 setting goals and making plans or 3 effective companionship studies. It should go well. I always say it, but I sure love my mission and missionaries.

I have a lot of good stories and videos on my camera to show you... ha aka yesterday when Elder Frost put aftershave on my face... haha or when I ate snails last week! We ate them at a members house. It didn´t taste terrible... but the thought is disgusting. My mind won the battle that time. I only ate one.. ha It tasted like chicken, but looked like... snot... gross! haha it was a funny experience though The video makes me laugh!

Well, we are just about to head out, so I will say goodbye now.

This last week was such a great one. We feel so very blessed. This past week was the week of consecration in the misión. We had one last year and it turned out great. The week started terribly for everyone in our district, but the weekend could not have been better. Elder Quispe and I are finding so many incredible people that are so prepared to receive the góspel. We really are seeing many blessings and success. This past week we found 8 new investigators - all incredible. On Saturday we saw the biggest miracle of the week. Sat night, we did not have ANY plans... those nights are rough, but often times turn out to be the best. We were in a pretty sketchy área, and we were ready to get out. Before we left, we remembered a reference that we had received about a month previous. She answered and told us she was home.  She has been here for 9 years now. It turns out that 2 weeks ago, her children (who she hadn´t seen for all that time) were finally able to come. We were able to teach them a very nice lesson and invite them all to be baptized. They all accepted with the biggest smiles on their faces. After when we were praying, the son thanked Heavenly Father for all they have. They don´t have much, but I am sure their quality of life is much better here.

Yesterday was such a special Sunday. The spirit was so strong on fast Sunday. It was so neat. Between the 3 companionships we had 16 investigators visiting us. It was so humbling and sweet when both L and A got up to bare their testimonies in sacrament meeting. It was so touching.

I just want to wish everyone a happy mother´s day

I love you

Dear family and friends,

Well, this past week was a good one. It was a little bit more difficult with the famous feria here, but it ended well with a lot of blessings and miracles.

The highlights of this week,

On Wednesday after District meeting, we were able to head to the feria as a District. We only went for about an hour 1) Because it was so hot, 2) We only had a short amount of time. It was really fun to see though.

Besides working hard, the obvious highlight of the week was with the sweet family here. I sure love them so much. On Saturday morning we went over to have our weekly cita. We were surprised and excited to see that the mother was there also and really wanted to hear from us. We were able to teach about the Book of Mormon, and gift her one. It was sweet to see her over in her corner reading it on her own. Anyways, after the lesson, they mentioned that they need to have us over for Papusas. It turns out that they invited us for that night. We were able to go back, enjoy papusa and also meet their other sister that lives nearby. I love that family. We had a good night full of laughs, papusas and a nice message. We were able to invite them all to church. 

Yesterday was very special. [A] was confirmed a member of the church and was also ordained to the Aaronic priesthood. He is going to do so many great things.

Anyways, we are excited to see what this week brings.

I love you all.

This past week was a busy one, but it ended perfectly. Yesterday we were blessed to participate in the Baptism of [our investigator]. It was so so neat to be able to watch all of his progress over the past 3 months. He was so prepared, and was so happy for this day. His family members came to support him, which was so sweet. It is so neat to see him adapt and be involved in the ward. The young single adults already love him. I am grateful for this work, and for the great friends I have met along the way. I love you all.
