July 15, 2013

So if you want please show this part of the letter to mom and Dad because I don't have much time to write you both. Robert and Jennifer are doing awesome. Robert is having a hard time because he is going through the refiners fire. Last night he told us that his life has only been harder since he met us. We helped him realize that trials are a blessing. He has had a really rough life and so he smokes marijuana to get away from all that. Keep him in your prayers. He needs to start receiving some divine blessings. Robert has so much faith, he is one of the greatest people I have ever met. I love that about the mission, you get to meet and love so many wonderful people. We also found another family this week and they came to church. Robert referred them to us. They are named Mimi and Bianca. The father is in jail for life so they are just looking for change and help from God...perfect haha. They have a baptismal date for August 11th. Sadly Daisy did not get baptized. She passed the interview and was ready to do it but then her father, instead of encouraging her, told her she could wait if she wanted to wait she could. So thats what she chose. haha i almost lost it on that man. I know he is trying to do whats right but He has got to want this for his daughter enough to push her a little. We had a talk with him about it so it won't happen again. We haven't had to talk to her since but hopefully her baptism will be within the next few weeks. 

Sorry that once again its short. Love you :)

con amor,
