Hola mi familia!

My companions say that I talk a lot in my dreams and it makes them all laugh because it is in Spanish. Last night, my companion wanted to video tape me because I said, “Te quiero! Te quiero!” which means, “I love you! I love you!” It’s kind of embarrassing as a missionary to have love dreams but I’m just a loving person. I wish I knew who it was because I don’t remember when I wake up. It started with Hermana Rivas and I didn’t want to believe her but now Hermna Vallejos said the same so it’s a fact. She even said that I laugh in my dreams! LOL! Man, I wish I remembered my dreams because obviously they are very entertaining. My companion wants to meet my future husband; she says that he will be so happy with me because I’m very loving and funny. She also said that I’m going to be a great mom because I clean and organize things really good.

My companion wants to marry an Asian and now a deaf man. She is so funny. I’ll have to talk some sense into her because both of the languages are difficult and she still needs to learn English! She wants to learn sign language because we passed by for an old investigator and this mom was all worried about her teenage son because he was suppose to be home by 3pm and it was 6pm so I asked if we could offer a prayer there on the sidewalk so that she could feel at peace and that her son would come home soon. Then as we were talking to her out side her house to help get her mind on something else, he walked up speaking Spanish Sign Language. I really want to learn SSL! I think I’ll be able to learn it quick because I know ASL, so I’m excited!!

We are struggling with the Cifuentes family because they don’t want to get baptized August 8 because they don’t feel they have a testimony of Joseph Smith so my companion and I are going to help them understand that really he is the prophet of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We were so happy that the whole family attended church for the first time. The dad always attends and is ready for baptism but this is the first times that Roxana attended. Everyone would like to see the family be baptized at the same time. But at times I think if one is so sure and makes the decision to be baptized that they shouldn’t wait. Because salvation is personal but exaltation is the whole family. This situation requires a lot of prayers communication and patients. My companion is worried that they know too much of the profound doctrine of the church before they had a testimony of the basics and that is why it is harder for them to make the choice. Well we have a lot of enthusiasm for this week because it will be another beautiful week full of miracles and the tender mercies of the Lord.
