Miami

 Hey family!!! Hope all is well!

This week was good. it went pretty quick tho...

First off.....some sad news for us ha...the A. family had to move to Miami....they moved yesterday :( they had tried so hard to stay in the area. they had one apartment they were going to move into where there lives a ton of members (we were pushing for that one so they had more member support (; hehe) but the people there never got back to them/didn't work with them...then they had a house that they were going to move into but at the last minute they realized the guy selling it was trying to fraud/trick them...then by this point in time they had to move out of the place they were currently living... and they have a cousin in Miami so that's the only place they could go. I was really sad. but they told us that no matter what they are gonna find the missionaries there!! that was a huge relief that they didn't just fall in love with us (because they loved us) but also with the church! they will get baptized soon, I know it!

Adolfo (the one who is married but living with his girlfriend came to church yesterday!!!! he honestly is super solid. probably our most solid guy right now. we get along so well. even though he's 63 we are great friends haha! its kinda funny. he gave us a ride home from church! so we are still praying for a miracle that things get worked out soon so he can get baptized.

We have been biking a lot! and I really enjoy it! it makes me feel like a "real missionary" haha! jk,

We got a referral from the English elders this past week (usually the English missionaries just pass over to us any one who speaks Spanish....so normally not very solid referrals..) but we checked this one out and this family had been taught by missionaries a year ago or so and they still have the Bom and have been reading it! we are really hoping to get somewhere with them!!

Now we are teaching a 12 year old. he is good, just really quiet. we are still unsure of how much he understands and his desire haha. he completes all of his commitments which gives us hope. we put him on date to be baptized so we'll see what happens haha. its kinda  strange just how he is so shy....

mom a couple things:

-I have one advair left I just started

-probably just under a month for my synthroid

-you need to start practicing to make arepas (google it) I have 2 every morning with jam and a fruit, I really love them :)

-lately my mouth has been dry even though I'm drinking a lot of water, I don't know if that's a symptom of thyroid or anything else?

I'm glad that you went to Orbil's funeral, it makes me sad. he was such a great guy and out here I look back at the memories from him and all the things I learned, he has helped me so much. what he did for me went way beyond the soccer field.

Everything else is going good. I look forward to receiving that package!! :D its been awhile now.... ;) I think that's about it for now!

con amor,
