I celebrated for Kyle :)

Hola Familia de mio!
Kyle, Felicitaciones on the farewell talk! I heard it went great! And, even though you guys had the three hour church, you had a TON of people at the house. Awesome. And the fam looks great. Oh how I miss them, but I´ll see them soon. It´s strange how fast time flies. really.... You´ll be shocked Babe.
I know that tonight is the night that the kids go out for the TRADITIONAL ice cream and advice... let´s see.... my advice to Kyle would be... well one, DON¨T WORRY ABOUT THE LANGUAGE. lol... I´m still trying to get over the fact that the Gift of tongues is not all at once. ´:) It really does take time and POCO POR POCO (little by little.). I remember the first week I busted into tears because I couldn´t get the door approach right... it sucked to be honest. But, I´ve learned to have patience... A LOT of patience... still learning. And second, don´t be afraid to do your calling. Seriously, it´s hard to go up to people and talk to them, but you have to remember that these people are the children of our Heavenly Father, your brothers and sisters, and the ONLY way (2 Nephi 31:21) they can get back to him, is through Repentance, and Baptism by the proper authority. I guarantee you will have a lot of people telling you that they have already been baptised... How do you tell someone that their baptism was a baptism to the worlds point of view, but not in the heavens. Mathew 16:19 (I believe, when Christ gives Peter the keys to bind on earth AND in Heaven). Study this and practice it as much as you can in the MTC, you will be glad you did. :)
OH, and the subject sentence, that´s right, I celebrated Kyle going on a mission... by going to the CATARATAS!
 :D Yep, this morning at 2 am we were headed to Iguazu where one of the natural wonders of the world is located. Our entire district got permission from president to go. It was an awesome experience. The ONLY problem, 10 hours of travel, 3 hours in the park. But, we got some awesome photos and were able to see El Garganta del Diablo (devils throat) and the others. AWESOME experience, hopefully not my last. I¨m super tired, but a Happy Camper. :) Happy Mission Babe! :D
Not a lot happened this week. We do have 3 new people with baptism dates. 2 girls, 11 and 13 years old and the mom of the 11 year old. But the mom has to get married and she doesn´t want to come to church... or is afraid. The husband drinks and smokes so... we are working with it.  They really want him to change but don´t, or 
can't seem to, do anything about it. We are hoping that through the power of example he will change.
OK, I really have to run. But I love you all so much, and I´m grateful for this Gospel every day of my life. Be safe, Be smart, stay strong, and trust in the Lord. OH, and If you see Ammon, call him Gus and say Hi for me. :) Thanks.
LOVE YOU!
