Hello my wonderful family,
Wow, I can´t believe Skyler is headed out. I´ll email him here soon, but it sounds like he´s doing awesome. A man of many words :) It is weird to think about how much time we really did spend together before the mission. Even though I was all over the place with friends, school, drama, choir, church, and everything in between. But we really did spend a lot of time together, and good thing too, because I needed it. But he will be fine. He has a testimony and faith, and with that you can do the work. This week has been an interesting one. We started out the week not so great, we were getting about 2 lessons everyday and one future (someone in the street or at a door that gives us their info to pass by) and things were kind stinky, but then we had a fin de semana de milagros. One of our investigators (who is basically a member) took us to go visit some of his friends. We met with 3 families. Two were pretty good, just kind normal, interest wise. But one of the families was incredible. The are a family of 5, the father is Español and the mother is Colombiana. The father listened to the missionaries about 10 years ago and loves the values that we place on the family and unity within our homes. The mother has cousins that are members and wants to know more about what they believe. When we got there they invited us in and they called in all their kids to listen. I´d never seen anything like that before and neither had my comp (and he´s been here 2 whole years now). Usually it´s more like, go away kids, we´re going to talk about grown up stuff. But not this time. They all came in and we talked about the Restoration. They had lots of questions about specific beliefs and seemed to really enjoy the charla. The Father said something like, "how many times has this family got together to talk about God? I like this." Basically they are one of the biggest blessings I´ve seen so far on the mission. After a week of working hard, without seeing much success we ended up having a ton of miracles. It was an incredible week and makes me even more excited to go out and work. Well I hope things are going great for you all. I love you all a lot. And don´t miss me too much, okay, becuase you all are always here in my heart, and two years goes by a lot faster than you´d think :) Maybe a little too fast ;) Love you all and have a great week!
Con amor,
