Hello everyone! We had another great week in el Barrio Hidalgo.

We did exchanges with Elder Rosales and Elder Oliphant and that was pretty fun. We did exchanges with them last transfer and when I was with Oliphant we ended up contacting this 14 year old kid and talked to him about the book of mormon. Well, this time we had a lesson with him and his whole family and we taught the restauration. I have never met anybody that just understood so much from the very beginning. they all accepted to be baptized and are willing to stop working on sundays to be able to come to church. The family consists of the mom, Maru, and the 3 kids, Fernando, Paula, and Tiffany. They are all so awesome and just fun. At the end of the lessons we teach them some English words and they love it.

We have been teaching a family for a while and they have been slowly but surely progressing. We baptized the kids in December and the mom was already a member. We have just mainly been focusing on the dad lately. They aren't married so we are finally getting them married this saturday. We have an appointment with the judge and everything. So that should happen this week, and then the next week he will be baptized. We are super excited for him.

Funny story. We woke up une morning at about 5:00 to the sound of a dog barking outside of our window. We got up and checked but their wasn't a dog in sight so we went to bed. Well, in the morning we heard it again and we went outside and looked around. Well, there is a huge hole next to our house where someone started to make the foundation of a house but never finished. We found that a huge dog had fallen into the whole and couldn't get out. We just turned into firefighters and helped get him out. It was kind of fun. It was a big dog too.

have a great week!
