:) Sonríen! :)

Hi Guys!!!

So you know this country song... "And it´s a great day to be alive... i know the sun´s still shinin when I close my eyes...there are hard times in the mission world, but why can´t every day be just this good?!"

hehe... that´s our theme song for right now :) Life is wonderful, as always! This last week... honestly.... was a little stressful.... my comp is still very homesick, and i got really stomach sick the whole week, but it´s still WONDERFUL! :)

This week we worked a lot with the members who are less active, and had alot of amazing experiences with them. Then, on Sunday we had a blast! Not only did all the less active members that we visited come to church, but also Renzo (who´s 11 and is an "investigator" because he´s still not baptised) got up and bore his testimony for the first time in his life! Ok... back track... i have a little story to tell you...

Renzo is an example for all of us. His family has been members since forever, but quit coming to church about 20 years ago, so he´s never gone. We decided to go and meet them, though, and while everyone went out to play in the swimming pool Renzo stayed in to study the Book of Mormon. Then, during the week his brother found him in the kitchen reading, and tried talking to him, but he said "shh, i have to read these chapters the hermanas left me" and read everything! THEN... to top it all off, his family wont take him to church, so instead he comes over to his aunt´s house every Saturday and asks if they´ll take him the next day to church. Talk about an amazing kid! I think we can all learn from him. Not everything is easy or handed to us in life. We shouldn´t shy away from grand opportunities simply because they take a little sacrifice. In the end, they all pay off.

Alright.... sadly I´m out of time, but hey... I think this is the record for the shortest email i´ve ever written :) hehe.... oops. ANyways... enjoy the pics, be good, and smile tons!
