Dear Family,Well this has been a great week! We talked with Rosa, Arleth and Raldy a few times and they are doing great! They are still reading the scriptures together, and Arleth and Raldy are attending Seminary and going to Mutual. They are doing super good and have a lot of "animo" (excitement). We are working with a couple right now. We are helping to reactivate Leslie, and her husband who is not a member, is so excited about going to church and getting baptized. First she needs to get divorced, and then they can get married, so it will be a pretty penny and a lot of work...but they are very willing to do it. He has been working the night shift on the weekends...so he leaves work at 8 in the morning on Sunday, and goes home, showers, and comes straight to church...talk about dedication.
Jorge and Altagracia are doing great! They are getting prepared for their sealing in the coming months. The Elders have told me that they are doing well...and that they always go out with them to teach investigators. I have been writing them and they sound like they are doing great.
We had a great week! We are still finding more and more people to teach. We have found quite the number of less actives. The First Counselor in the Bishopric is leaving in this next week. He is moving to another area. He is a very faithful member and so we'll miss him. The Second Counselor will also be leaving within the next month, so that'll be a real shame!
Thank you so much for all the things that you sent me for my birthday! We were about to start the Office Meeting yesterday and then Sister Eickbush came in with that funny looking hat and everyone pulled out those little party blowers. That was really kind of them. They gave me two belts...yeah...way too nice. On Saturday or Sunday we are going to try and make the Cupcakes with frosting in the middle..we'll see!
We are still doing P90X...and it is definitely quite the program. It keeps you going! We wake up at 6 for about an hour and a half workout Monday through Saturday, and then on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday at night we do AbRipperX which lasts about 15 minutes. On Saturdays we usually play Basketball to vary. Hopefully I won't be a huge blob anymore!
Well this isn't really the best email...but I love you all and am grateful for all that you do! This work is true! He Lives!

P.S....did someone say Chicken Roll-Ups?
