Hi family,

This will be a short letter. Not much happened this week.

Cecilio was ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood this Sunday! He is doing amazing. The other sisters in our branch had a baptism right after church. It was great and definitely a miracle. They asked Cecilio to bear his testimony. He talked about how he feels so much more peace in his life now that he is a member of the church. Goodness, he is the best.

We were also able to teach Aide. We taught about the Restoration for one of them. It was awesome. She actually kept her commitment as well! Hallelujah. She has gone through A LOT this past year. I'm excited to see how things progress.

One day during VC, a big group of people from China came in. Only 2 of them spoke a tinyyyy bit of English. I was standing there waiting for them to be done looking at the sketches and all the sudden they lined up to take pictures of me. I guess they were really excited to see a "blonde" American, even though I'm not blonde. Fun times at the VC.

I will be in a trio until transfers. I'm excited because now I'll have 2 fluent Spanish speakers in our house.

That's about it for this week. God definitely answers prayers. I have seen that pretty frequently this week. We are so blessed!

Love you all lots. Thanks for your prayers and support. Have a wonderful week!

"It is one thing to know that Jesus Christ came to earth to die for us. That is fundamental and foundation to the doctrine of Christ. But we also need to appreciate that the Lord desires, through His Atonement and by the power of the Holy Ghost, to live in us - not only to direct us but also to empower us." - Elder Bednar
