(insert mom singing here) Halloween, halloween, lots of fun on halloween. Black cats and ghost, gobblins too.. (i forgot this part) i'll say, BOO! This week for Halloween we have to be in the house by 6pm.. fine by me! There's lots of creepers. I kinda forgot all that happened this week because I forgot my planner. BUT... We went to a "trunk or treat" this passed Saturday with the ward. It was fun seeing all the cute costumes and everything. They had a Chilli Cook off too which I got to taste a couple... big mistake. I was sick all day Sunday. We actually don't know if it was from the food, it might be a virus.. but i've had worse lets be honest. We had the primary program in church on Sunday which was really cute too. We combined an English ward with our Spanish wards because they don't have enough to just do one primary so every other kid said their part in spanish. Javier didn't show upppppp! Little punk. So we have to move his baptism. We talked to his mom yesterday (who we dropped a couple months ago because she felt like she was "cheating" on her church) And she just hugged me for so long. She said that she was going through a really hard time and now she wants to go to church! Miracle. So hopefully we will baptize their whole family instead of just Javier. We had lots of miracles yesterday. I think it was because we were sick the day before and couldn't work- after the trial comes the blessing. We also prayed to find families to teach and we found one from Honduras (right by Hermana Valladares house) and another one who was an investigator from another missionary and has gone to church already several times. We found these two families in like 20 min! We are starting to drop a lot again... We trust that there are prepared people right now and God can prepare the ones we are going to drop and give them another chance when they are ready to be baptized. It's time to pluck the fruit instead of plant the seeds! Speaking of which... An Elder in my zone just told me that Jesse Moody, the one who came into the VC and I taught and sent the missionaries is getting baptized on the 17th!! YAY! I had a bet with with one of the senior couples (elder Jenkins) that he would get baptized. Woot woot. I won. We went to the temple this morning, which was really good. It was Sister Valladares first time. It's soooo pretty! We're gearing up for the lights and it's starting to get pretty cold. Okay, it's not that cold compared to Utah, but we are freazing. Someone said that your blood thins out when you live out here and you get cold easier. Who knows... but we're cold. Anyway,
Sorry this is so short... I really cant think of what else happened. But it was a good week. Hope everyone has a fun, happy Halloween! Send me pictures! Love you all!
This week, send me YOUR favorite chapter in the Book of Mormon, okayuh?
Love you,
