7/28/14 Well Howdy!

I'm very happy for grandma.  I want to be like her when I grow up. 

     This week was great!  I have to update you on the familia Salas!  They are doing well.  We had a couple of great lessons with them this week and built some great trust by eating food at their home. :) Including Bollos. Bollos are Mexican home-made popcicles.  They taste like monkey flips (banana-chocolate milk shakes) and you freeze them and suck them out of the corner of a bag.  So good!!  Sometimes I feel like I do nothing as a missionary, and am really terrible at teaching, but somehow Heavenly Father manages to bless our work so that sometimes it ends up better than worse for somebody.  For example, the before the lesson with the Salas, the members lovingly gave us some pointers to help along the work with the Salas, then we said a couple of words to guide the lesson as the members taught their new best friends/next door neighbors the rest. The Salas family has so much potential and are such a great family.  They speak Spanish.  They have 3 beautiful kids and love each other so much.  We taught the Book of Mormon to them this week and I felt a sincere love for them and they shared their hopes that this book will help them gain a spirit in their home that they feel like they might be missing. Pray for them!

 I've got to go! Sister Stradling and I are the only companionship that gets to stay together in the whole zone this transfer.  Wohoo! It is only a 5 week transfer.  Why do they keep getting faster and faster?!

Love,
