Ola!
It was great to talk to you guys yesterday. My companion really liked talking to dad in spanish. haha
First of all again, HAPPY MOTHER`S DAY to mom and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to dallin.
This week was pretty fun, we got to build a house. I really enjoyed doing physical type labor again. We did the part on the roof. I almost died a couple of times with flying hammers and roof tiles in the air but it was a good experience. We´re going to go back Saturday to finish the inside. It was cool to see the dedication of some of the members in this service project....I mean....it´s a house! There are 2 members that are always there, they´re 2 retired old guys, brother Joaquin and brother João. They treat it like a full time job. They were great examples to me of service.
This week we´re going to have a super awesome activity at the church. It´s going to be a plan of salvation activity. When everyone gets at the church they´ll receive 5 "talents" (pieces of paper). We will read the parabola of the talents to them, and after there will be 1 hour of games were they could trade their "talents" to gain candy. There will also be "spiritual" games that aren´t as cool where you can gain more talents. At the end everyone will have to go to judgement and the branch president will talk to each person gather their talents (and their candy which represents worldly thing) and put them into one of the 3 kingdoms. Then the Candy will be divided in between the kingdoms. I think it´s going to be really good. Every family is supposed to bring 5 friends. I think we´ll find alot of new investigators because of this.

I hope that everything is going well. Keep me updated on everything.
Com Amor,
