Que tallll todos! Como esta?

This week was absolutely so incredible!  A lot of people were transferred but I absolutely love the new Elders in my district!  They're so cool! 

Also this week we were able to get ahold of a part member family and one of their kids wanted to be baptized.  We had a baptism coming up on Friday and we thought it would be more fun to baptize them all together especially because Friday the 30th is El Dia del Niño which is actually kinda a big holiday here.  So we taught him all the lessons this week so he was ready!

Teaching kids is definitely not as difficult as teaching adults because the kids have such great faith in the gospel and know it's true!  In reality while we were teaching them they taught me more!  We showed them a video of temples and the look of awe on Diego's face made me feel the spirit so strong!  It reminded me how excited I was to go to the temple the first time!  The Savior truly loves children and is so evident why, their spirits and faith is so strong!

Friday was definitely the best day of my mission so far!  It was Elder Torres's Birthday so I bought him a little cake and surprised him with some balloons!  (Later that day president came and visited us and showed me up with a bigger and much better cake) Our ward had an activity before the baptism for the kids and it was so much fun to meet more members!  The spirit was so strong! I also was joking around in Spanish and I felt like myself! It was so awesome!

So I made a new friend and he is the coolest person ever.  He is the older brother of one of the Diegos we baptized.  He's 16 and was ordained a priest this week so he could baptize Diego!  It reminded me how my brother baptized me and brought back so many fond memories!  His name is Enrique and he is so cool and funny and his testimony is so strong!  I baptized the other Diego and I did okay so that was a blessing haha!

I love you all and I hope you all are doing well! Quédense Mucho!
