Hello family!

How are you all doing? I am doing great. Sorry my email was so short last week. This week will also be short, because of some crazy circumstances, including Pep Boys (I really do hate Pepboys!) not changing our oil correctly and it all spilling out, so we no longer have a car to use until they fix it, and Sister V. still not having a library card, so I will be sharing my time I have on the computer with her. But other than that, things are pretty good.

We had a baptism on Tuesday. His name is G. He is twelve years old, but very mature for his age. He is a great kid. He actually had a baptismal date like a year ago, but his dad convinced him not to go through with it. So we finally got him baptized, and his mom will be getting baptized as soon as she and her “husband” get married.

I really can’t believe it has been a year either!! Sister V. and I celebrated our year mark together, and she made tres leches cake, which is cake, but you let it soak in three different kinds of milk for a while, so it is really soggy. I know it sounds gross, but it really is very tasty. But it does take some getting used to. 🙂 But other than that it was just like any other day.

Wow, that’s so crazy all the thigns that can happen in a year! Tell Caleb that the mission is really the best thing he could be doing right now. Sometimes the Lord molds us into the people we need to be by putting us through the refiner’s fire. And sometimes it’s really hard while we are in it, having struggles, but all we have to do is puch forward, and trust in the Lord more than ever and we can make it through. Maybe he needed to go through those really hard things in order to become the person the Lord wants him to be, to be the best missionary he can be. 🙂

Dad: I’m sorry about your face, I hope I don’t have problems with that later on.  :{ It’s crazy you were just thinking about playing tennis, because the other day Sister V. and I were driving, and we saw a sign for a tennis center near our house (kind of), and we were talking about how we really wanted to go play. Weird. 🙂 But yeah, other than that I’m glad things are good.

Emmy: Hey girl! Como estas?! Sorry about all the hard stuff that is going on. Just remember…just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim. 😀 You can do it, I know you can. Trust in the Lord. Remember you are never standing taller than when you are on your knees. Pray for his help and guidance. He will help you. Trust that everything will be okay, even if right now it doesn’t feel like it will. After the storm comes the rainbow. 🙂 I love you so much. Be strong, and know that everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

Well, I gotta go now. I love you all so much!

Love, Kelsey
