Paint-Fight from our Zone activity last P-day. 
We played "Zombies" with paint. I was the Zombie--

This letter will probably be pretty short. But Transfers are next week! I don't really know what will happen but more than likely I will be transferring. If you want to send anything to me, send it soon because after the 25th I will probably have a new address.

Fernando is such a boss!!! his little brother Esteban and his little sister Inocensia are just as cool too! We have been teaching the whole family, and Fernando, Esteban, and Inocensia are all getting baptized next Sunday after Church! And their mom is going to start coming to church againnn (she is not a member, but almost got baptized twice before but didnt' because of a previous marriage and problems that occured there). Fernando is the coolest, he wants to serve a mission! He also went to the Priesthood fireside last night and he's super excited about that as well. The familiy loves when we come over and teach them, so we get to go over every day and teach them the lessons, and the standards in the For Strength of Youth. It's great, because they are so innocent and the light of Christ is so strong in them. Their prayers are the best too, because they are simple yet so sincere and powerful. Super excited for their baptism, and how much the Gospel is going to continue to change their lives!

Car Washes are Scary

There's another family that we've begun to start teaching. They are equally as cool! Well.. half of them. The Mom and the daughters are super religious and are looking for the right church, but the dad and brothers just don't have interest/don't care. So we will see what happens there.

Also, we are teaching a puertorrequena named Mermaid. She's got the red-hair and everything.

Went to a Pentecostal church yesterday before our Church. It was very interesting and educating.

I've begun to study the Old Testament in a lot of detail. I really want to know the Bible in depth. I'm actually really, really enjoying it. There's so much figurative language and symbolism, it's really fun to study and decipher. It requires a lot of background knowledge that I don't really have, but my mom sent me some books that really help clarify some of the language of the times. It's really making me want to study some Hebrew and Greek when I get back to college--at least some basic level understanding of root words and such.

It's really taught me how important it is to have the Holy Ghost in learning. Before my mission, this is something that I began to study through one of my favorite professors at BYUI (shout out to Sister D'evegnee!). A lot of us don't think of needing the Holy Ghost to learn, but it's so critical. It also really emphasized how worthy we ALL need to be inorder to have that constant companionship.

Well Hope everyone has a great week!

Love,
