Hello My family,

Here are some fotos. This week has been a little bit dificult and pretty hot. We are hoping that the temperature starts going back down. Sunday went well for us because we had like 3 less active families that we are working with and they came to church. The ward is super awesome here. They help us out a ton and there is a lot of excitement in the ward. The Bishop Gomez and our ward stake high council member have set a goal to have the whole ward go on a trip to Buenos Aires on the 30 of March. so they are going around doing their home teaching and visiting teaching and helping us out a ton. and for that reason the less active families came to church. these families always talk to us and love learning the Gospel but the ward helped so much in activating these families. they also want to go to the temple. lol I am going to see if the mission president will give us permision to go to the temple. we will see if we can or not. it is quite a hassle to send someone to buenos aires because it is just so far away and the president needs to know where we are at. oh and also another thing that happened this week was that we were able to have a family prayer with the Lanche Family. We are teaching the parents and we were teaching them the things that bless our families. I remember mom and dad telling me that Family Prayer, Family Scripture study, Church attendance, and wholesome recreative family actives help keep a family united. so we taught a little about that and then we asked the father, named Raul, if he could call in his whole family to have a family prayer. so he went and got everyone. once everyone was together, Mabel his wife said that prayer. it was super awesome and kind of funny too. cause Mabel prayed that her Kids would behave themselves which caused the kids to laugh.  plus one of their sons was poking his older sister during the prayer. lol sounds familiar. once the prayer was finished all the kids and the parents were laughing and there was a spirit of unity. it was pretty sweet. their family reminds me of my family. Just like it says in 3 Nephi 18:19-21 we need to pray in our families so we can be blessed and anything that is righteous and we ask for with faith we will recieve. I was able to testify of family pray because my parents would always emphasize having family prayer for which I am super greatfull. I love you all and hope that you all have a great week!
