Well I thought I was good looking, but then I looked in the mirror and saw my son, I realized I am still better lookin and vain, ha ha, just kidding, this is the two of us, ready to conquer the day. Neither one of us better or worse looking than the other, cept for Elder Hansen, handsome Devil! (Runs in the family!)

weeeelll here's the scoop.

WE BROKE THE WORD OF WISDOM!!!!!!!! haha jkjk.

it was only herbal tea.

So we were at this investigators, flor's, house. She is kind of an eternagator, who really has never been truly challenged by the missionaries, but slowly and surely she is coming along, but this past week we met with her, and she for some reason thought it was cold so she made us a couple cups of chamomile tea. it was ok. sadly though, we pretty soon won't be able to work with her anymore, becasue she will be moving to homestead!!!! GREAT NOW THE HOMESTEAD ELDERS GET TO TAKE MORE OF MY BAPTISMS!!!!!!! Hahah, i'm kidding, i only bring that up, because it reminds me of the coolest thing of this last week. So, yesterday was stake conference, and i'm still in the same stake as homestead. so, WE GOT TO DRIVE BACK TO MY OLD STOMPIN GROUNDS!!!!!! haha i was so happy and homestead trunky goin back down into homestead! just a flood of good memories. the best though, was when we walked into the chapel, and there, sitting on one of the pews, really early, WAS THE RAMOS FAMILY!!! my whole face just lit up with excitement as did theirs when we saw each other, and i went and chatted up a storm with them. Not only did they get baptised, but becasue the whole ward got involved and really just pulled them under the wing, they are now completely active, GOIN TO STAKE CONFERENCE (lemme tell ya there's an accomplishment ;) haha), and all of the kid's have already gone to the temple to do baptisms. it literally made my day!

Well, some awesome things from the week, we have been working with this man named robert, who before said he was an atheist, but what's really awesome, is seeing some light of faith kick on in his eyes. he's got a little seed of faith developing, just as it says in alma 32, 27? i think it's that one, eeh it's somewhere in there, but it's really awesome! he's building a testimony, and will really soon be prepping for baptism!

And we have another person prepping for baptism, her name is Yasnay. She's the daughter of this cuban lady named margarita, who is a recent convert, and she too is prepping to be baptised on the 14th!

so some funny moments from this week: Elder Hansen got his first taste of full and complete cuban. it was AWESOME! haha we talked to this guy at the door, and elder hansen at the end was just like, Haaah? it was really funny! and we also stole a restaurant from the other elders. haha So, we have this rule in our mission that we can only have six missionaries together in a restaurant, and we were headed to a district training in another area, and we went to this restaurant called 100 motaditos, that the other elders love, and we met the sisters in our district there, and as we were right in the middle of eating, we saw the other elders come walking in, and then they saw us, and had a look that was just like, WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!! haha It was really funny. funny enough one of them was elder Cobabe! (second companion)

well i love yall, talk to ya next week.
