Hi! Sending you greetings and a big hug! Can you believe that we are already in the middle of September?! I can't. The time is passing by so fast!
This week was full of miracles! And it's been SOOO hot!!! And it is a humid hot, so you can imagine. I sweat so much this week. So Gross, but it's ok! :)
Lots of families from the unidad that were less active are now returning to church and I love to be able to see how they are progressing in the gospel. The De La Cruz family is one of these families. They came back by themselves. The dad got a calling this week, he is going to be a ward missionary. The good thing is that he speaks English and Spanish so he will be able to help us and the other missionaries also. It was funny because he just cut his hair so now you can see a tattoo that he has on his head from when he was a cholo and I loved seeing him stand up yesterday when they announced his calling, tattoos and all. But it was really great to think about how much he has changed these past few months and in a few years he will be a part of the church.
The Jimenez family is also progressing a lot. This week we had a Family Home Evening with all of them. It was great to have a lesson with Susan and to be able to have her whole family there. Her Aunt Flory was also there so that was awesome. We talked about the Restoration of the Gospel and at the end of the lesson Flory was telling that she wants to
share this with her best friend. We talked with her and we made an appointment for us to go with her to visit her friend and teach her. Also, yesterday in the sacrament meeting, Tyler (Susan's brother) passed the sacrament for the first time. It was so cool and special to see the Ispana ward now has a Deacon. And speaking of the sacrament meeting yesterday.....45 people were there!! And from those about 20 were less active members who have not come in 6 months or more. It was a really special miracle. We were all so happy! We almost cried because we have seen these brothers and sisters grow and struggle and finally come to church and renew their covenants. It was so cool.
Elena is also doing well. She has not been to church yet, but we are trying to support her in everything that she's going through. She knows that she needs to come, and she can see the difference it makes.
Well, I love you all so much, I hope you have a good week. Don't let one day pass by without reading the Book of Mormon. I know that it will help you, comfort you, and it will bless you :)
