Hello family!

So we heard more good news from M.  So at first when her kids wanted to get baptized she wasn't really to happy.  She never said anything though.  And for some lessons she would say her head hurts so she wouldn’t have to come out  (and that did happen a few times)  But now she loves the church.  And we asked he is she was ready to be baptized now, and she said yes she was.  So now she completely wants to get baptized which is really excited.  When I first got here she just went into her room to now she wants to herself.  And she comes to church every week now, so its really going really well with her.  And P. wants to be baptized as well, so thats really exciting.  

We found J. because she was interested in english class.  We met with her again this week, but she also said she like to learn a bit more about the church.  And when we met with her this week she also brought a friend to english class.  His name is M. he is a pretty funny guy.  So we taught english then talked about the church for a little bit afterwards.  Then on Sunday J. came to church.  That was really exciting.  

Then another good thing that came from english class  (this is like the first time I've actually found people through english class, but for this whole time doing it then find some good people, its worth it.)  So these young people were walking down the street and i guess they saw our paper that says english class Wednesdays.  So they came on Wednesday.  They were like 16 years old.  Then one of them also came on Saturday to our branch family home evening.  And the members were really good and friendshipping her.  And they invited her to church, and she was going to come.  But something came up.  She never told us what.  But she really liked family home evening and wants to come to church.  

We went to church on Sunday (obviously) and it was like two minutes before we were going to start, and the first councilor comes up to me and says someone who had a talk, ends up cant give it today, so could you give a talk.  So i said yes.  So i was just rushing to get some ideas together, and luckily there was a speaker before me, but she took like one minute, so then i just did whatever i could.  But i think it turned out all right.  Thats the first time thats happened to me before though.  

Well we are finally going to meet with M. again.  He came to church yesterday.  So there is a man that lives there and there is always problems when he is there.  But he is leaving for some months, and so its the perfect time to meet with him.  

So we also went to the soccer game which was amazing.  A ton louder than cougar fans.  The atmosphere was really cool.  And it was super loud when 

Madrid scored.  Sometimes it was kind of hard to tell which way the ball was going when it went high in the air.  It was a super cool experience.  They tied 2 to 2.  I say madrid was the first ranked team in 2014 and Athletico the third.  It was a good matchup.  

Well hope you all have a wonderful week
