Yet another tiring, but crazy and satisfying week! And by the way... HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY PEOPLE!!
We saw some COOL miracles this week! Ma...(12) is the little brother of E.. (17) and J.. (15) who both were baptized in Paraguay 2 years ago and moved here a few months ago. We´ve been teaching them all since E.. and J.. have been less active pretty much since their baptism and Ma.. has been becoming more and more interested and BEGGED to come to church this week! He accepted a baptismal date for the 20th and I am pretty positive he´s going to do it! They are a great family and the older siblings are getting reactivated as a result of this! Cool stuff:)

ALSO we had the BEST 4th of July! WE all went over to the Castillo´s (the senior couple that works in the office) for district meeting and a barbecue. It was so much fun all sitting around in their family room, singing songs and we even had the meeting in Spanglish! Hahah it was a great day!
RANDOM THINGS
Speaking of Mexican food, there is a mexican less active man that I met last night and I told him how much I miss mexican food and his girlfriend invited us over for mexican food sometime! YES! So we had 3 investigators when I got here, but they are all really great and I can see them all progressing towards baptism. Right now we have 2 baptismal dates, one is the son of the less active woman mentioned in my 1st paragraph and the other is Ma... From what I gather, the members here do not like hermanas from bad experiences in the past, but we are really trying to gain their trust and show them we are serious about this work! We do have some REALLY GREAT youth that love come out with us though, there are 2 recent convert girls and E.. and J.. (remember the mini missionary from malaga?) and they all LOVE coming out with the missionaries and have begged us to use them now that summer has begun. Our zone is weird cause its our district and then La Mancha. Take a look at a map and see how close that is. But they are good missionaries, I like my district already! And I LOVE fish, dad, just not muscles and big clams (little ones I like though).
My piso now is my favorite one that I have stayed in yet, it's really clean and lots of space and I get my own bathroom for the first time again since October... WAHOO!! I really like it. I am quickly learning our area and I like it, there is a lot of potential here! Also our investigators are awesome. Almost all of them come to church and read. WHAT THE HECK? This place is great. Last pday we went into Malaga cause it was concilio so I wanted to see all my friends and this week we are going to the zoo! There is a lot to do around here, but since its so touristy, it costs a lot of money to do stuff. but I wanna hike here too!
