So it was great to hear from dad this week and hear the story of mom finding her diamond! OHHHHH and Jeff and His GIRLFRIEND came to visit? really? WHoo how are they? I really would love to know what is going on with that life long buddy of mine, so mom maybe next week you can tell me all about the chat!! :) I asked about the blog thing to and I am waiting for a response. Sadly none of our investigators went but others that we had never seen before came. so, continue to pray that our investigators will go! but Marco was confirmed a member! Whoo! 

So this week has been full of difficulties and struggles! Ha one would be president came out with a new rule that we can't speak any English. so elder olmos and I are keeping the rule even though that has been difficult! however I can see a definitive improvement in the language. Also Through the other trails and afflictions we had I simply just remember that, "tomorrow we shall see what our God in Heaven has in store! One more day. One More Dawn. One Day more!" When we have struggles we need to remember as we lean on the atonement for strength, we will see the blessings. the blessings are only "but a Small Moment" away.  It is a promise from the Lord, and he never breaks his promises. I would also like to add my testimony to the testimony of President Hinckley that whenever I hear the tune of "Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah" I can not hold my tears. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. He was the instrument that God used to restore the Power of God to the earth. I know that families can be together forever through that Power. How great it is that even though I am a continent away, I feel my family is close through the prayers and covenants that have been made. I have felt your prayers and I am grateful for them!  Love you all
