This week I read a few talks, and since mom sends me lots of talks I will send you some of my favorite talks, too. One is called "The workers of the Vineyard" by Jeffery R. Holland. Another is "Our refined Celestial Home" by Tad R. Callister (that one is a BYU speech). And another one is also a BYU speech and it is called "Where did you Put the Tigers?" If you don't mind can you send me the "Where did you Put the Tigers" talk because I like it a lot. It is on speeches.byu.edu. Thanks for all the talks-- they are great.
This week we had the five confirmations of the Chavez family, and it was super awesome because the youngest daughter got a blessing that she would have the opportunity to serve the Lord as a missionary. I love just listening to confirmations because it is almost a mini patriarchal blessing :) Also they have been doing really well this week because the dad has been searching for a job for a really long time and this week he got three job offers! I was so happy because I really think that helped strengthen his testimony.
The only member of the family not baptized now is the 15 year old son and he didn't go to church today but I was so happy because we visited the Chavez family at about 7 at night and there were a ton of young men at their house talking to the son and asking why he didn't go to church and that they missed him:) It just makes me so happy sometimes when members help so much and we don't even have to ask them :)
Also, I forgot to mention last week that grandma's package came and I opened it with the Chavez family and so they were going crazy because they had never tried a lot of the candies that were in the package :9 They loved the lip balm that grandma made and it was perfect because there was enough for me and my companion and every girl in their family. Also I gave all the mints to the mom and she loved them because she had to quit smoking before her baptism and she eats the mints now every time that she wants to smoke. I am actually so proud of her because she hasn't smoked at all! I think it helps that she has 6 children always watching her though:) I just love their family so much and I am so happy I have another transfer here so I can see the whole family get baptized. Their grandparents also went to church on Sunday! Also we are teaching their aunt's family too. It is so nice here in Mexico that everyone's family lives so close. Have a great week. Oh I laughed a lot about dads pilates experience:) haha!
Love,
