Happy 4th of July!!!

Dear Fam,

Happy 4th of July to all of you!!! Man, this is probably the one day of the year that I miss home. probably because out here I am not gonna eat bbq sauce, Cuz its extremely hard to find. Sad day. But! we did have a little get together with the sisters and President and Sister Mecham this afternoon! It was a blast. We had hamburgers and did a piñata, no fireworks but that´s not a surprise. But all in all it´s been super fun!

This next week we´ll have a baptism. YAY!!! Luis is getting baptized and is super ready. He understands the Gospel is a way that just amazes me every single time we teach him. It´s been super fun and I have no doubt that he will stay active all of his life. He loves the gospel and loves the scriptures and is super ready to be baptized. And through all of this I´ve learned a great lesson, the people who are prepared ot accept the gospel in their lives, don´t have any problems with the commandments and willingly accept to keep them without any other doubts. Its so cool that people like them exist!!!

So, basically our lives as missionaries is a blast. Why? because we keep the commandments, follow the rules, and work hard. That is literally the key to missionary work. Well, and you need a sincere desire to serve the Lord too. With all of your heart might mind and strength, but it´s worth it. I don´t understand why young adults these days don´t understand these simple things. In fact, something sad is happening in the mission. This next transfer aka 2 weeks (what??? that flew by) we will be receiving 7 sisters and 2 elders. Yes, you read that right, only 2 elders..... How sad is that? That means there are more young women going out to the field than young men right now and we can´t do squat without the priesthood. So, I´m gonna personally ask each of you who read this to help some young men and young women get excited about a mission and go! Please? Thank you very much!!  

I hope you all celebrate the American way and have an excellent week!
