Hello Family  

We met with a really cool african this week named F. He got our number somehow and called us to meet.  So we met with him and had a really good lesson with him.  When we were talking about the book of mormon he said i cant just read it to read it, because that it wouldn't really get to me, and i wouldn't know what God wants me to know, I got to read it and pray to know what God wants me to know and ask if its true.  It sure is strange teaching in english though.  But it seemed like he really got it.  

Some other good news, so we were teaching mara in Alcorcon, from Nicaragua, and she was kind of like a roller coaster.  Seemed to have lots of potential and wanting to meet with us, then slowed down, so we dropped her, then she wanted to meet and so on.  Bu a few weeks ago she was baptized and her daughter, so that is really cool.  

So funny story, so we were playing around the world at the ping pong table after noche de hogar.  I don't know if you know how to play but you keep running around the table and have to hit it at the other side.  Well you have to run when there are 4 or 3 people.  So we were playing and the branch president was there, and he was running to the other side and he tripped over himself and hit the piano and put a good size hole in the wall from the piano hitting the wall (it was a tiny electric piano no a big one well i guess a normal electric piano.)  and the next day he had a huge bruise on his upper arm.  He was fine though.  But a bit banged up.  It was pretty funny though.   

So M. the less active that went to the game with us went to noche de hogar on Saturday, so that was good progress.  He will come to church someday.  I know it.  We shared the scripture about how we need to take upon ourselves the name of christ, and we talked about how we can do it through the sacrament in one way how we promise god we will in the sacramental prayer.  And we also talked to him and his girlfriend for a little bit.  She gave us some food.  She seems really nice.  We are hopefully going to meet with her again this week.  We were only there for like 10 minutes with the both of them.  So M´s sister is also less active, and she came to church this week.  So that was cool to see.  She lives with the parents who are active and we eat there and share a message and she is always there.  

We had a really good meal the other day from Ecuador.  Called Biche.  It was someones birthday.  It was really good.  

Thats funny Michael and Brayden and JJ were there alone.  They are funny.  JJ said he wants to live together after the mission.  That would be fun.  That is a bummer about the surgery.  I’ll be praying for you though that you'll get better soon.  

That sounds like a fun lunch.  They are all fun people.  Well i don't know Marie Mickelson to well or Joy Rios, but they both seem really nice.  

WEll that seems like a pretty cool deal.  Kind of sad the ctsv is gone.  It was a cool car.  HOw long does the deal last for?   haha.  It is sad the ctsv is gone, but i thing thats a sweet deal.  Dad, remember when i asked if i converted the pope or the king of Spain if you would get an aston martin and you said yes, well i guess you just got a bit impatient with me and the king, so i guess you'll just borrow one now.  haha.  

Well hope you have a wonderful week
