Happy Birthday Allen!! Happy Birthday Riley!!

Well I hope that everyone enjoys the family reunion this week. Think about me when you all are playing games and eating wonderful food. ha! I am glad to hear that Eagar has been getting rain lately and is nice and green. It is always nice and green here :) We didn´t get rain almost all week here and let me tell you, it was a hot and miserable week! I had the opportunity to go on inter changes this week with the sister leaders. I went to another city, Santa Tecla for a day. I have only every worked in Sonsonate so it was SOSOSOSOSO refreshing to work in a place that is not roasting hot! ha! It was cool to see another city and experience another area. I have to admit that it made me want transfers pretty badly. But Heavenly Father has a sense of humor so I will probably end up staying in Sonsonate for another three months. :) Working with Hermana Mejia in Santa Tecla was really interesting because she is from the other mission. They had different rules and ways to teach so it was interesting to work together and learn.

Fernando is still progressing and preparing for his baptism. We passed by his house yesterday in the morning to see if he was awake and getting ready. Surprise Surprise, he was still asleep. He had stayed up until three in the morning. We were not about to let him get out of going to church so I grabbed one of the sea shells that they have in their house (he works in ships so he has visited a ton of different places in the world and has a lot of exotic stuff in his house). I took the shell and I blew into it, making it into a horn. It is a little to blow just right but when you do, it make a super loud horn sound. haha! After a few times loud honks, he started to get up and get ready for church. ha! I am still a little worried about whether he will be ready for his baptism this week because he has a ton of questions but we are going to fast and pray and do todo lo posible!

So the other day El Salvador was playing the US in soccer. We were knocking doors and found this guy who had his house plastered in decorations for one of the soccer teams. I was just trying to be friendly and talk about something that he was interested in so I asked him if the game was over yet and how it had gone. I honestly was expecting him to say that El Salvador had won. Well, he told me that the game had just ended and the US had won, by something like 5 to 1. Without thinking a loud Whoopee! came right out of my mouth! OOPS! haha. needless to say it was a little awkward and we left pretty quickly. ha! Tango que tener mas cuidado.

Well my time is gone.....I love you all! Travel safely!
