MACARENA IS GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!  :) Ha-ha, she and Sebastian are going to get married on the 19th of September!  We are planning their baptism now, :)  Our hope is that they can get married on the 19th and baptized together on Sunday!  Hopefully things go well for Sebastian, he has two big barriers, he is smoking, and he works on a farm... milking cows, so he is almost never free on Sundays.  We are hoping that he can make it to church a few more times in order to make it to their goal of baptism.  We are so thankful for the opportunity we have had to be a part of this with them.  Thursday we were in our house studying language when the phone rang. It was an unknown number so I answered it with a lively, "Hola! buenas tardes, somos los misioneros!" and on the other end I heard an overly excited Macarena!  She told me she was at the Court House and that if we could get there in 10 minutes, we could sign as witnesses to her wedding and she could pick a date for her wedding. :) Man that was MUSIC TO MY EARS!  She has already come 3 Sundays in a row and is learning VERY quickly.  She doesn’t smoke or drink and already has the goal to get married in the temple!  Ha-ha. :)  We are very excited for her!  Keep Sebastian in your prayers, he wants to stop smoking, but it looks like it will be hard for him to make it to the church.  He has yet to come to a sacrament meeting, so we need some divine help to make things happen. :)  

I’m pretty excited for the Anderson s to get here!  President says that couple missionaries are only in the MTC for 5 days, so he guesses that they will be getting here right before I leave! Hopefully in time to go through the temple with me the day before I leave! :)  President and I were talking about them and he wants to know if either of them have medical knowledge, I told him I’d ask you guys today.  And did Brother Anderson serve a mission? Was it Spanish speaking?  :)  I’d love to get an email from Vicki Jo!  Ha-ha.

Things are going great with my comp and I! He is a champ and came pre trained.  We have great lessons and he is really driven by the spirit!  I love working with him!

Chelsea told me how things are going for her in Flag and sounds like she is being pretty blessed if you ask me. :)  Having the time of her life and living it up!  Hope JJ is doing ok... sure she is taking a "Sucker Punch" to this transition.   Keep your hearts full of love because our family can’t be separated by any matter of miles! :)

Love you all so much!
