Your vacation looks like so much fun though!! I am so jealous about the huskies!! They are so dang cute!! So the one time I'm gone you guys go through the alps instead of the museums??? Hahaha..
Everything here has been so great!! I am loving being back in Midway!! The weather here has been crazy though! I swear it has rained every day for the past like two weeks! For part of the day it will be sunny and nice and then clouds will come out of nowhere and just drench us! Last Monday we went downtown for Pday and it was like a 7 or 8 mile bike ride from where we are at so it is not too far but on the way back right when we got on our bikes it just started pouring rain!! After like 30 seconds we were already soaked all of the way through so it was pretty fun because at that point we didn't care if we got wet anymore! It was funny though because we were just riding through the rain and the Tornado sirens were going off and we were just riding through hahaha! It was way fun though because we were just going through all of the puddles and we were soaked!
Midway is amazing though!! I feel like I never even left here and I just love it so much!! Today for lunch we went over to Karina Huicocheas house with the elders in their pasole and then they also got me a big cake for my birthday!! It was so nice of them and I loved being there with them!! I just love their family so much! I told Karina that if they ever want to come to Utah they are invited!! I love her and her family so much!!We have seen so many miracles here in this Ward though! One of the biggest miracles that we saw was that last week, the members gave us the names of a few families who are less active to go and stop by and so last Sunday we tried one of them at like 4:30 and nobody was home, later that night at like 8 we had stopped by almost all of the people we had planned and then we were talking and we decided to go back! So we go back and as we are locking our bikes up in front of the house their car pulls up, we didn't know if it was them or not but they get out and we ask for Isabel and Brenda Morales and it was them! We ended up helping them bring all of their groceries in and we got to know them better and they just opened up completely to us! They talked about how the husband/dad has been sick for 13 years and has had tons of surgeries and that in the last year and more the members of the Ward had stopped visiting them and they felt abandoned. When I heard this it broke my heart completely but we talked to them and now we are going over twice a week and his week we brought the sacrament to them since they both can't leave at the same time because they have to be watching the husband/dad and now we are helping them feel more of Gods love again! It is so amazing and it was a miracle! We have seen so many other great miracles but that is one of the biggest!
Also, Elder Martino of the 70 came this week! It is crazy because he came my second transfer her in the field and now he came back! He fired up the mission so much though so hopefully we see a huge increase in the work here!
Aly is getting baptized tomorrow as well!! It will be in the font at the stake center which is absolutely hugell! Her parents are coming down and everything and I am so excited! Also Drew proposed to her like 2.5 weeks ago while they were at Disney
World! I am so happy and I can't wait for tomorrow!!
