Kamusta kamo????! 

It was cool to hear all about the re dedication of the Jordan river temple this week, it sounds like it was a really cool experience!! I know you guys already know this, but just don't ever forget how incredibly blessed we are in utah with so many temples so close. The people here love going to the temple and they have a temple trip twice a year to the Cebu Philippines temple. They travel by boat and I have heard it takes a while, but they would do anything to go to the temple! So whenever you guys have time, take advantage of how close we are to so many temples! 

So this week was not the most effective week, because of certain circumstances. My companion was sick, he had to go to the doctor, I had to go to the doctor, it was a week that really tested me. But despite all of that, we had a great little miracle this week! I think a told you a couple of weeks ago or last week that we found a family of 5 that are really interested in the gospel, the Forrsuello family. We found them by just helping brother with a ladder when we walked by, and ever since then we have been teaching them and it has been awesome! I love their kids, they are so awesome and we are already close. They are the ones that are super excited for the lessons and they always say how much they want to come to church and this last sunday they came to church! They said they had a great experience and want to come again, I am looking forward to continuing to teach them. So that was an awesome blessing, that really made this week worth all the struggles. 

I have done a ton of studying and praying this week, I know Heavenly Father is always there for us. Sometimes we have to go through things to learn. trials help us grow. Your prayers and love is much appreciated. 

 I love you guys! Thanks for everything! HAve a great week!

Palangga ko kamo!
