Hola Familia,

we had another great week and as always i am so excited for this next week. i will tell you the story now just in case i run out of time. . . We always dedicate our Fridays to go to Sayan. we leave early in the morning right after our studies and jump in a car with our lunch all packed and ready for a day of adventure. we usually get there at about 10 or so so we go out and proselite for a few hours before stopping and eating lunch. well we got to lunch time and even though we were hungry we wanted to find a cool place to relax and enjoy our lunch at the same time we enjoyed nature. and we found it about 100 yards off the main road we found a rock sitting in the River that was big enough for the two of us. we ate our lunch and stretched out on the rock to rest for a few minutes. when with horror i see that my tupperware that i had brought from my pension slid off the rock and was being caried away by the fast current. any normal person would say "that sucks" and move on but you know me and it is much easier for me to fish it out than to buy a new one. off we went trying to find a place to fish it out. and we finally found it. a little log bridge that hung over the river. we got it out and started to look around on the otherside of the bridge there was one house and in that house was our part member family. you see why i call it a miracle. my tupperware led us to a family ready to hear the gospel. 

well fam it is off to futbol!!! i love you all and remember i am working as hard as i can
