Dear Family!

First off, I hope you´re all well. Well let´s get down to the meat of things, shall we?

We had an awesome ward activity saturday, from 1 o'clock to 6 or 7, it was awesome. We ate lunch, the members brought their own salads and drinks, and the main course provided by the ward was chicken and rice, with a cake/cornbread for desert. There was really loud music the whole time, a portable pool, and we played a little bit of futbol. There was also a theater show for the whole ward, I think it was some kind of mix of the big bad wolf fable. 

It was really awesome because Kyle and Natalia (Investigadores, 12 and 70ish years old, grandson and grandma) with their less active friends were able to attend, loved it, and after we went to a bautism in the sector El Llano, which was really excellent, both for them, for the new member there (Alexis), and everyone else. It was a great day, a real day of miracles. 

It´s a real bummer, but Lidia won´t be baptized Wednesday, for problems with the Law of Chastity with her partner. Although they don´t live togethor in the moment, they aren´t married or seperated officially, but they´re figuraring it out, and in the end, she had a terrific interview and is still progressing well. Keep praying for her, for  Lidia, Leda, Fabian, 

Kyle, Claudio, and Natalia. And also Soledad that we can teach her whole family! 

We will be recieving a bunch of missionares here tomorrow, and additionally in 2 weeks, and consistently after that every 6 weeks. I´ve got 2 more weeks with Elder Manzano, who is such a baller, I can truly say that with him, as well as with Elders Alonso and Guevara we have developed some strong relationships and friendships. I´ll be a District 

Leader as well, which should be fun stuff, and a good opportunity to love, serve, help, and be an even BETTER example!   

I´ve been recieving inspiration, in the most common form of thoughts, of things I want to do, to be, in my life, i.e. what type of father, member, etc. what I´d like to do with my life, my career, etc. It´s good to have a plan, eh? Also I´ve found real truth in the promise in 2 Nephi 32:3-4 that the scriptures will tell us ALL of the things that we need to do in our 

lives. Through them, in the moment or throughout the day, we commonly recieve sporadic, seemingly random thoughts about things we could do. Well, I´ve been writing some stuff down and Im grateful to God for the inspiration that he sends us. 

Love you all, Keep up everything that you do!
