Hey family so this week has been soo good!! We have had such a great week! These last few weeks our missionaries in our zone have worked so hard! I am really proud of them and the hard work they do! They make me good enfront of the leaders of our mission! Well this week we recieved a new reference form a member and this girl wants to be baptized! We taught the first lesson and now she has been to church for a few weeks so we gave her a date to be baptized and she she was really excited and will be baptized on the 29th of this month! I really hope that i wil be here for that!
I love this place so much! We have La Familia Espinal who accepted a date to be baptized but we have to wait for them to be married but they have a date for September! But that's all the time que tengo para escribir!

I am really seeing a difference in the work and im glad to be part of it. We have a totally different spirit here in this last week! We are really excited for this new family, La familia Martinez! They are soo amazign! They have such a great spirit!  They really have such a testimony of our savior! We finally were able to contact the Familia Espinal and they were soo happy to see us! We talked about the Restauración  and it went perfectly! The spirit was soo strong in that lesson! They aceppted the invitación a to read and to pray and to be baptized in the church! I love how much faith these people have in our savior Jesus Christ! As they listened to the First Visión the Father feeling the spirit had tears in his eyes and looked aat his wife and said wow!! I am soo grateful this gosple! I love my Savior Jesus Christ! I am soo grateful for Joesph Smith and for the sacrificios that he made for this Evangelio!

Hey family this week has been really good! We have been really working hard! We have a few new investigadores that we are excited about! There is a new family and they are soo cool! I feel so grateful for these members that we have because they really try to give us references! Well today is transfers so 4 missionaries left my zone but the missionaries that are coming in are really good missionaries! So this family that we are teaching is real really cool! They told us that they wanted to go to church and so we will have to see. Is week we gave service to a member of the church and we were building him a house but we haven't finished yet! We did the foundations and that wasn't too bad! I only got a few blisters! They have been making fun of me because they say I don't know how to build a house but I'm just not accustomed of small shovels! I'm getting pretty tired! The best thing I can do right now is not think of it! I love this work! I love my savior! I love these people! I want to bless them in any way that I can! They are soo amazing! I really hope that the Lord gives me that opportunity to finish my mission here in Tierra Alta! Just three more transfers left! Me and my comp will have another transfer to work and then he will finish his mission! Well family this is my letter this week hope that you guys are OK!! Love you guys so so much!!
