Hola family!

This week the letter might be a little short. First the light went out. (That's what people say here instead of saying the power went out.) It came back fairly fast, but then the internet connection failed. We had to look for internet elsewhere, but now we are short on time. On Monday night we had a baptism for Josiri, a 17-year-old we have been teaching. I know that Monday night is highly unideal because of FHE, but we just invited the people in the ward who have become her family here. It was the only time that all the important people could be there to support Josiri. It's been a small miracle to see how God took her out of the really bad circumstances where she lived, helped her come to a new city, and then find work with members of the church who have adopted her as family. She has a new chance at a better life. And as of Sunday when she was confirmed she now has the gift of the Holy Ghost to help her make decisions in that new life. 

Saturday we set a new record--a Saturday with only three lessons. I really don't know where all the people went. 

Sunday Rides (Lesly's husband) came to church again. He has now been three times, thus qualifying him for baptism when he finally decides to accept the opportunity. We have a family home evening with him to see if he now has his answer. Here's hoping that this family home evening goes better than the one two weeks ago with Silvia. 

I hope you all enjoy the cold and have a great week. I love you all!
