Hola familia! How you all doing!?! So trev is heading out! Wow I’m stoked for him tell him grats for me before he leaves and not to forgot ME 
He’s gonna do awesome; although I’ll miss his letters haha. But tell him good luck. Also say hi to Gabriel for me. That’s awesome that he’s taking the lessons. Keep goin lil buddy!
Wow I can’t believe I’ve been here for a week almost. Its just flown by. It was awesome and I just love the area. Turns out there’s only been 1 baptism here in over a year and he doesn’t go, so should be interesting. As far as I can see, I love it and my comp is good. Wish I had my camera here with me to send a photo but I don’t have it here with me sorry.
We had a really cool week with interesting people. My first day we found a guy, Washington, who’s a Tibet monk or something like that and he’s so cool. He like put on Chinese soothing music while we taught and it was just so chill and he’s just got that like slow respective voice. He is way interested and loves what we’re teaching him. We’re also teaching this guy Mauricio whose the boyfriend of a member and we couldn’t tell if he was taking the lessons for her or really wanted to know… so we prayed and on Sunday found out the girl is moving to Montevideo for a month so that will give us time to find out his intentions. He’s a really sweet kid though. Me and him got along really well and he likes a lot of stuff I like, so it was cool. Then we got a lady named Ines who will get baptized soon, but she’s gots to stop smoking, but shes amazing. We have lessons with her and the spirit is just so strong and it’s like she already knows what we’re gonna teach before we talk and already wants to do it. She wasn’t sure she was ready for baptism so I told her to just pray bout it. The next time she had had a really spiritual experience and said she prayed and it was literally like someone was whispering to her that she needs to do it. Now she’s willing to do whatever it takes and she’ll easily stop smoking cuz she wants to. Just a way sweet lady.
So it was way cool on Sunday Pres. DaSilva just showed up at church. I was so confused, but yah he came and I was shocked when I saw him show up! I was like uhhh what’d I do. But he came and got to know Mauricio and gave a talk so that was way cool to hear from him. I was stoked. Like when church started we were asking some people if they could help us with some charlas, but everyone was busy. After he talked on the importance of members and how much they help the work, everyone we talked to was able to help and our lunch schedule filled up…. Its amazing how that works. I wish he could talk every month….
Well Alexa… Turning the Big 5! That’s cool. FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS! TE DESEO LO
MEJOR Y QUE RECIBAS TODO DE TUS SUEÑOS…. yah you gonna have to translate that some time. BUT LOVE YA! BESOS Y ABRAZOS!
Well, I gotta go, but I love you all a ton and its all good here…….
CON AMOR.
