Drum Roll Please….

Dear Family my favorite and best family in the whole world,

So this week we had changes right and I have had six months in this area and so it was reasonable that I would be leaving this past Wednesday....but the Lord answered my prayers and...I get another six weeks!!!!! I am so happy and blessed for this! Which means I got to baptized The familia Flores!!!!!! You have no idea how happy I am and such a blessing it was to be a part of that and see them change and the gospel fill their lives! They made some huge changes from not drinking cafe or beer to even getting married!!! Ya that is right I got to have a wedding here in the mission! That was so freaking sweet! Then we baptized them the same day! The baptism was super and just to see them come out of the water and start their new lives together and with the Lord is something that has forever changed my life!

I did go to changes though folks so that was even crazier that my companion Elder Toro went so fast..now the crazier part is who I am with here now...so in my last area which was Ilobasco, there were six missionaries and there was one that we always joked that we would be companions here in the mission that it would just be so sweet and you talk about craziestness...cause it has happened!! ELDER SMITH and ELDER LEATHEROW. He is from Missouri yes he is a greengo folks!! We are having a great time so far and are working really well. It was so cool to baptize with him cause this is his FIRST baptism in his whole mission so it was a blessing for me to be with him and to hear his excitement and talk with him! 

The other thing I need to say is that you have no idea how freaking awesome you all are!!!!! The package you guys sent was perfect! I loved it so much, and I can`t thank you guys enough for it!!! Except the t-shirt of Oscar the Grouch are you trying to say that I am grouchy as well?!?!? Just kidding no matter what I love it! Also I wore that tie that Dad has the same one on the day of the Baptism and so as my mother and father have helped complete our family and make those convents that they passed that example on I am helping other families do the same! So thank you guys for that example and that tie was great and means a lot to me!!! My companion loves it too, he is trying to steal it from me(; 

Well folks that is about all I have for this week I am going to go so I can try and send some pics and what not to ya! Thanks for everything seriously!!

I love you mother to the moon and back and then some! 

I love you all and hope you have a great week!!!! Con mucho amor

Baptism

Loving the tie

I asked Wes if he was hot wearing a long sleeve dress shirt and his reply made me smile ~ that is my boy always the fashionista, "it was super hot but we had a wedding and a baptism and I think the long sleeves look more professional and dressy"  

Oscar the Grouch, really? 

I was quick to point out that the shirt was to remind him that even if someone seems grouchy their grouchiness disappears with the appearance of muscles.  Besides the green fabric was light weight. 

Taking pictures in church? ~ Wes is looking very serious ~

and preparing and making the famous pupusas ~ he says he enjoys them A LOT.  Can't wait for him to show me how.

Celebrating

Making sure to take Ster with him every day

We were all very curious as to how Wes takes his best friend with him every day.  Question answered. Love it!
