I´m trying to upload a photo or two to send along with this letter, but uploading is not this computer´s specialty. Haha. Crossing fingers! Anyway, we have just been working right along here in Mao. It´s a little hotter here these days. Something that I have really loved about my experience here is making friends with the members. It´s really special to me that I have these relationships. I am learning a lot and growing in a lot of ways. (Not sideways, although I eat a lot more these days. Haha.) I´m just so happy and contented to be here. We are teaching a girl who is preparing to be baptized and we got permission from President to have her cousin who is serving in this mission come and perform the baptism. I am SO excited, and hope everything goes the way we are expecting it to. She is making changes in her life, and I just love her. I know the gospel will guide and protect her as she finds her way through the growing up process. I´m attaching a picture of her and her little (second?) cousin, who is adorable and was crawling around the house stark naked the last time we visited this week. Haha. Oh, I just really feel like the people here are my family. Leaving Mao will be hard when it comes time. Which reminds me- the bishop´s wife and her family have family in Arlington! Her name is Nivelkis and her sister is Dulce. Dulce´s husband is Benito, who just arrived here in town from Texas. Dulce wants me to give her your number before I leave Mao. We will have to coordinate with Sofia, I think. Haha. The bishop´s sons are preparing for missions, and the one who reminds me a TON of Josh just got his call to the Santo Domingo East mission... and he reports to the CCM on Josh´s birthday! Haha. How crazy is that?? Anyway, I need to go and I will send more pictures next week. I love you all so much. The gospel is true!! It changes lives. Until next week!!
