Hola Mis Amigos y Familia,

          It has truly been an amazing week.  We had the Baptism of Sebastian Noto.  Finally, I have been teaching him for the last five months.  I can´t believe that I have been in Maipú for five months now.  The time really is flying by.  There are definately times that I wish I could take hold of it and just slow it down a little, but I have not proven to be very successful. With every passing day it seems to continue to speed up.  
          I am really excited for the time that Hna. Haskell and I still have together.  We are working on some projects that I feel are going to be very successful for the work.  We are hoping to start this week (however, it may take till next) a ward FHE every Friday in which one family of the word with give a short lesson and then there will be games, mate (a tea drink that everyone drinks at least 3 times a day), and maybe a church film depending on the time. Our goal is that the members will invite a friend to come with them, and we will be able to teach in a light hearted friendly environment.  Plus it will be great that they will be making friends with other members of the word right off the bat. Wish us luck, and keep us in your prayers.... I know that this can be great!  
          I love you all so much, and am grateful for your prayers.  The work it wonderful, and there are so many people that are just waiting to hear our message. The challange is finding them. Please always keep the missionaries in your prayers, and if you have any extra time give your stake missionaries a call, and see if there is anything that you could help them with. Let us all do are very best to move the work along.  We have so much to do!  I love you all so very much, and I hope you have a wonderful week. I will talk to you again soon.
                   Ciao,
                       Hermana Ricks
