Hola Mis Amigos y Familia!

   This week was great! Nothings Spectacular occured, but the weather was amazing. It is so much more fun working in a warmer climate.... I hope I don´t regret those words in a few months. ha ha

   Lets see the week was fairly normal and relaxed... However, the cutest things happened yesterday.  Jonas (the little boy the got baptized in the end of May... He is ten years old) is so amazing.  He wants to serve a mission, and get married in the temple one day.  Anyway, yesterday he told Hermana Garcia and I that he had a crush on one of the girls in the ward (the Bishop´s daughter... She is 12).  We told him that if he wanted to get married in the temple that right now he just needed to have amigas, and then after his mission he could start looking for a girlfriend.  I wish you all could have seen the sad look on his face as he said, ¨JUST amigas?... ha ha it was so adorable.

   I seriously am so grateful to be a member of this church. Something that I have really grown to love and appreciate is the love that we feel with in our ward families.  It is so special to me we as a new member of the ward immediately feels welcome, and starts to build life long relationships with the other members.  How blessed we all are to always have a supportive family no matter where we are in the world, or what trials we are facing they will always be there. 

  Well my dear loved ones back home.  I miss you all and hope you have a wonderful week.  I will talk to you all a little later.  LOVES
