Hows yalls doin down in M town,

                         To answer your question about the picture the boy in the picture is the brother and he was in the family photo.  This week has been so awesome we had a goal to find 200 investigators this month and last week we were only at 120.  So this week between 18 missionaries through fast and prayer found 89 new people it was a great experience.  Somedays we knocked for four hours straight without any luck, but it seemed that everytime right before we were going to try something new we would find someone and have an incredible lesson with them.  I got sick this week from eating too much food,  it is tradition here that almuerzo is thanks giving but compact into 1 hour for example the other day I had soup first then they brought out a plate of lazagna piled with rice on the side, by the way i have rice at the very least 3 times a week,  when I was done with that they brought out a 2nd plate of the same thing for dessert I had cheese cake and not just 1 serving but not just one two big slices .... for 2nd dessert we had a plate of icecream.  I love the members here and the food but sometimes you CAN have too much.   We also this week were able to get a family to church that hasn´t been in 10 years it was so exciting to see them coming from afar as we waited for them at the chaple.  What even made me more happy is that almost every single member came up to them and introduced themselves.  Tonight we have a family home evening and we always do the treat or the game as well as the lesson.  We are running out of good games so if you guys have any good simple one you should let me know.   

  Mikayla and Eden are you both going on Choir tour and if so where are you going?

My card is now working I don´t know if you did something for that mom or if I just did something wrong the first time but if so thank you.  I will look get a camera next week hopefully.

All the best Wishes and the best love 

Elder Bloomquist
