Hello family and people who basically are my family, 

Here in Lleida the work is still going and I feel like we had a good week. The most exciting thing that happened is that we set two fechas with Deivid and Luigi!!! They are the two boys from that family that has been seeing missionaries since January. Their mom, Danny is living with Jose Maria which is why they cant be baptized as a family. At first we were trying to animar them to get married so they could all get baptized but then the truth came out and Danny told us that she wasnt sure if she wanted to marry him. They are a very cute family and we were sad and surprised to hear that she felt that way so we just talked to her abour prayer and revelation and asked the boys if they wanted to be baptized because we dont want them to be missing out on the blessings. Deivid is the 12 year old and he is very excited to get baptized, he placed his conversion calander on the fridge and everything. He even wants to serve a mission when he is of age! Luigi on the other hand, knows everything is the truth , he believes but he is unsure about baptism. he said he has been praying but hasnt received an answer yet. I feel like he does know that the B.O.M. is true but he hasnt really prayed about it to receive that confirmation. This week i feel like we need to start from the base and help him feel and recognize the spirit and the promptings that he feels. I am a bit scared that Danny, being a very emotional and sensitive lady, is feeling kind of left out. She would love to be baptized with her boys and she is letting them choose and make the decision but i also feel like we are walking on eggshells with her. I just think that there is a lot going on at home with her and her family so im praying that we can show her our love, and that she can support her boys in this decision and know that she can follow their example one day. I love this family so much and i wish the best for them. I hope that one day i can see them all get baptized and better yet sealed in the temple. If everything works out how we are praying it will, then every companionship here in lleida will be having a baptism this weekend!!! That is four people getting baptized the same day! its going to be a white saturday for sure! I am so terribly happy and excited because this will be my first baptism on the feild from investigators that we have been teaching. I can only imagine the happiness the Lord feels when he sees his children enter into the waters of baptism. 

Well as usual, I am short on time But i hope everyone is doing great. I received Jessica's, Joy's and Ben's letters! It makes me so happy to hear from you all and hear how you are doing and what is new in your life. Thanks for the letters and love. I love you all with all my heart! 

Con muchisimo cariño,
