Hey mom, it's good to hear that you had a good week. I remember I read that talk by elder uchdorf a few weeks ago, it's a good one. Maybe I'll read it again soon. Also I glad you had a good time with Lexie the other day. Also it's weird that it's already you anniversary... That did go by quick, but I hope you'll have a good time in Idaho with John. Anyways this week was good. We watched a broadcast for missionaries that was super good. One thing that elder Galleguillos and I took from it is the way we ask for referrals. Most of the time we ask if they know someone who is interested in a message of Christ, but now we ask if they know someone who needs service, help or is going through a hard time, or we ask if they know anyone knew in the area (just moved in), but this week our referral totals went up a lot. So that was cool. Also we revamped our teaching pool because we were to busy focusing on people that weren't really progressing. So now we have a ton of new people we want to work on and i think we'll start to have more success. The Spanish is going good, well as good as it can get. It's still hard for me to pick up on things, but I learn a little each day. Also elder Galleguillos and I have been role playing more so that way I'm better prepared to teach lessons. It has helped a ton because now I can explain things pretty simply, but also hit the main points of the principle. So things have been good with me. Anyways I think that's mainly it. But I love you Mom and I hope you have a great week. It sounds like you will. Take care.
