Hola!

 

That sounds crazy! I wonder why it is so cold.

 

A lot of the youth in the ward here behave very badly. They cuss and talk in English because their parents don't understand them. The younger adults do, but no one really knows what to do about it. Nearly everyone is a recent convert or has always been in a ward full of recent converts so no one really knows what it is supposed to be like. Even the bishop doesn't know all the rules, or he knows them but doesn't understand their importance. It is really frustrating, because as missionaries it is not our job to correct the bishop or do half of the things we do for the ward, but because it is so bad a lot of the missionaries "tell" on him to the Stake President or the Mission President. Anyways, Max Gomez got called to be in the Young Mens presidency!! Even though he is so new and unfamiliar with the church, he has a deep sense of what is right and wrong and he wants to help these boys out. I think he will be able to make a difference.

 

Sergio Ortiz got the priesthood yesterday. His family was there with him and it was very touching. He is such a sweet boy and he loves giving his family hugs and kisses haha. Max says him and this other kid are the only ones who pay attention in class and that he gets all the answers right! I don't think the other boys are nice to him at all. It is amazing that he likes going to church so much.

 

Valerie Gomez was baptized yesterday. Even though it wasn't technically "our" baptism, it still felt like it was because we set it all up and we were stressed out about it haha. Also, we've been teaching her and her family since October and we love her just as much if not more than any of our investigators. She is the sweetest girl ever. She reminds me a lot of Ibby. She was HYPER all day yesterday because she was so excited to get baptized.

 

This is my last week with Morley which is super weird! Have a good week!! Love you!!!
