HI EVERYBODY!
I realized that somehow I lost some people in my email list, not sure how but oh well, I think I fixed it all but if you know anyone that wants these random email thingys for some reason write me and I'll add them :)
This week was good, our phone is very broken so no new pictures in the Google photo thingy, our phone weird right now, but that means we're going to get a new one hopefully so at least that's good lol. The zone leaders tried to fix it like three times but each time they try, it messes up the phone more, we don't have a camera because the app got deleted and it won't let us install it again, we don't have maps for the same reason, but at the same time, we can download games, en general, everything that we need is blocked, and everything that we don't need is available. No don't worry, we haven't download any games.
Ok, what else has happened this week? Oh ya we extended two baptism dates for this month, one for the 16, and one for the 21, yes that is my birthday, no that's not why we set the date that day, but yes it's a cool day to have a baptism :)
In the coast it is very hot. I know I said that last week, but it's true. This week it ONLY got up to 96 and I literally saw someone with a sweatshirt, I kid you not this guy actually thought it was cold in 96 degree weather. To be fair, that night it cooled down to a balmy 90 so I guess he had a good reason.
The good thing about hot weather es that costeños have made something called bolis. Bolis are the best. It's kind of a mix between ice cream and a popsicle. From what I understand, they just make some fruit juice in milk, put it in a bag, and freeze it. It is amazing and very cheap. 500 pesos which is like $0.12 USD I've bought way too many this week 
Ok, I've forgotten to do these for a while but it's...
Spiritual thought time!!! :)
Like I've forgotten to share something for a few weeks, at times we forget to put God first in our lives, sometimes its small things. Not saying your morning prayers, not reading your scripture one day of the week, at times it can be a bit bigger. Not going to church one week because something else in life seems more interesting, etc. In the Scriptures there are many, many ejemplos of this. One of those examples is in the ven sígueme this week. (Tal vez another one of those things you could remember) I like a lot the story of Elías in 1 Kings 18 if you all ready read come follow me this week you should already know this story, or mabye you already know it, but the people of Israel were having a hard time following one of the commandments, it was a rather large commandment, they were worshipping baal and not God. Long story short, they were having a lot of problems, wanted things to fix themselves, and started searching for other ways, breaking the commandments, to solve their problems. It wasn't that hard because it was already common, but little by little, they fell away. IDK why I'm rambling about this summary bit en fin, Elías tenía fe. He had faith and trusted in the lord to help him. If you find yourself falling away in any manera, look to the Lord and his chosen servents for help. Trust in him, he loves you and wants the best for you.
I love a scripture in Mosíah 4, partially related to this bunch of rambling above:
6 I say unto you, if ye have come to a knowledge of the goodness of God, and his matchless power, and his wisdom, and his patience, and his long-suffering towards the children of men; and also, the atonement which has been prepared from the foundation of the world, that thereby salvation might come to him that should put his trust in the Lord, and should be diligent in keeping his commandments, and continue in the faith even unto the end of his life, I mean the life of the mortal body—
7 I say, that this is the man who receiveth salvation, through the atonement which was prepared from the foundation of the world for all mankind, which ever were since the fall of Adam, or who are, or who ever shall be, even unto the end of the world
8 And this is the means whereby salvation cometh. And there is none other salvation save this which hath been spoken of; neither are there any conditions whereby man can be saved except the conditions which I have told you.
9 Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend.
Read the whole chapter if you want, it's all good, I have to go work now but ya, God loves you.
