Mi Querido Familia,

      What a good week this has been,  I´m sorry I can´t send pictures because my camera cable is still in Nocedal but it is getting sent to me this week so I will send many pictures next week.  So this week we walked close to 40 miles just knocking doors.  I have gotten home every night super tired but it is definently worth it because we have now found some really good people that we would have never found if we had not worked so hard needless to say this really had nothing to do with us I guess.  But Heavenly Father blessed us with people that were ready.  One of these people is a mother of 6 kids that lives in a small house but said she didn´t have much time to talk and we ended up staying there for 45 minutes because she had so many questions about life and after and the church and everything.  We have another appointment with here tomorrow so we will see what happens.  And then yesterday night we found a 23 year old guy knocking he came out of his house high on marajana, a beer in one hand and a cigirette in the other.  At first I was a little nervous because he had a creepy look in his eyes and it was dark, but he invited us inside his gate and we started to talk, he was super nice and I know it wasn´t just because he was high either because he was answering all of our questions and was totally aware of what was going on.  We started talking about his life and his mom being a Jehovas Wittness but we gave him a Book of Mormon and he accepted to learn more, he is not in our sector we were doing a  Sector Slam in the sector of the Hermanas but hopefully they can progress with him.  He is a super good guy he just needs to get some things straitened out in his life.  

    So mom you were asking last time if I saw anything about how I am grateful for the freedom we have in our county.  Almost every High School is in a TOMA which means the kids take over the High School change the locks and refuse right of entrance to anyone so that they can get something they want.  The Police don´t do anything about it because they have more important things to worry about like drugs and stuff.  Everyone just treats it normal here like oh ok no school.  And this is where laws come into helping freedom.  If there were no laws there could be no freedom.  Exactly what Heavenly Father has been trying to tell us from the start with out commandments we can not have freedom it just simply can not be.  

   So it looks like you had fun this week with the Father and Son and the Girls outing, but sorry to say you are all a bunch of nuts.  Woot Woot.  Mikayla your birthday letter should get there soon sorry its kind of late. 

  Love ya bunches
