Excited for Avram

 December 7, 2015

¡Hola Mamacita!

Happy Hanukkah! I looked on my calendar and it starts today :P I think my companions would love pics of the family.  Haha I'm not going to the baptism of Miss Spencer, although that would be very cool! Hna Kaaa is still in Folsom and she'll probably be there the rest of her mission because her companion is going home this transfer. I don't think they would shotgun my home Ward!  Haha she's doing so great, though. Hna Vergaray is so awesome! She is such a fun companion! We have pretty similar sense of humor so we have a lot of fun, maybe too much fun. :P Hna Stout is an STL because the Lord called her to be so. Our area is doing great!  We are teaching two families right now and Alejandra Mora.  We are baptizing her on her 9th birthday on January 19th because her family is less active and the bishop wants her to have time being active in the church. One of the families is Juan Carlos and Maria Vasquez. They have two kids and we haven't taught them much, but Juan Carlos is very enthusiastic about the church. Then we are teaching Jeranimo and Faustina  Pascual.  We received them as a referral from the system, so we called them and set up an appointment. We went and visited them Saturday night and the lesson went great!  Jeranimo wassuper sweet and very open, his wife was a little bit more quiet, but very open as well.  We put them on date for the 19th of January and they also came to church yesterday!  It was so cool! It doesn't happen very often where we teach someone and they actually go to church the next day! They are so amazing!We had a Red Cross service project this week where the first day we walked around neighborhoods hanging door hangers on everyone's door that informed them that Red Cross was installing free smoke alarms. 

The next day we went around and installed those smoke alarms into people's homes. Since we can't go into homes without a woman as missionaries, our group that we went with was me Hna Vergaray, Hna Clark, Hna Thomson, and a 22 year-old woman named Trisha who is serving in AmeriCorps.  Woman power!  It was a lot of fun, but a little scary at times :P we went into some sketchy homes!  After about 5 hours, we had installed 19 alarms and gone into 11 different homes.  It affected about 35 people! It was great!

I love you tons! I am so excited for Avram and that I get to go to his sealing!!! What a special experience!

Para Siempre Dios esté con Vos
Con Amor,
