HAPPY MONDAY!

I've never loved Monday's so much in my life. But Friday was pretty
close to winning my favorite day. We had una Noche de Talentos! The
Spanish branch does not mess around with events like talent shows. Our
investigator Enrique was even the usher. His talent was definitely
being in front of the crowd. We were crying laughing. And the loa
family that we are teaching even danced for everyone. I can't wait
till I can come back and learn to do all the cultural dances! We even
had to go home before it was over cause they party into the night!

We had a lesson with a girl this week and we taught her about the Book
of Mormon. At the end we shared with her Moroni's promise and asked
her how she felt. She told us she can't explain why her heart was
beating so fast like this..... Yeah that's the spirit. I love teaching
the gospel!

The dad of a family we have been teaching forever came with his kids
this Sunday. There is no feeling like seeing their whole family in
their Sunday best! Even Jared in his 5 year old suit.
When the Sacrament went around and we showed him how we take the
water. He takesit, looks at it, pauses. Drinks. Eyes wide he just
says: es bueno! And then follows it down the pue trying to get another
cup and telling all his Sibilings that it's good and to try it.

That's the most beautiful thing about Sundays. We get to be our best.
We can repent. We're trying to be better. And isn't that the greats
ring about the atonement? We get a chance every week to try to be a
little better. So that's my missionary advice for you this week
(borrowed from president hinkley) Try a little harder to be a little
better!
