So first off, a funny story. Our house, has this huge front gate around it the has these really sharp metal spikes on top, and it is always open, because the owners are always home.  Well, a couple of weeks ago, we lost the key. We asked them for a replacement, but they forgot to give us one.  So, turns out of Wednesday night they went on vacation for a couple of days.  When we woke up Thursday, we didn't know.   We went to go running in the morning, but it was all locked up, and we thought they were sleeping so we didn't go running, and we just did exercises in the house.  Well, at like 10:00 we had to leave to go to our meeting in the morning, and it was still locked.  So we knocked on the door, and no one came out, we kept knocking, but it turns out that no one was there.  So we had no other option other than jump the fence.  To be honest it wasn't that hard, kind of scary but it wasn't hard.  But my companion was way scared and he didn't know what to do... so finally he had to try and jump it, and when he did one of the spikes caught his shirt, and it ripped it completely. But we couldn't get back inside, so he had to walk while holding his bag over his chest! Then luckily at night one of the sons didn't go and he made us a copy of the key!!! 

The baptism of the daughter Mendez family went well, she was very happy, and her dad was also. The young women are so much more loving than any other organization, they were so nice to her, and she felt really loved and welcomed after her baptism! The Guzman family is doing great, they are going to get all of there marriage papers ready today, and they are planning on getting baptized soon! They are really so great!!  Also the dad's brother has started coming to church, and he also might get baptized soon!  So we will see how that goes! 

Transfers are this week, and my comp might go. it will be really sad, because he has been one of my best companions! But we will see who my next companion will be!!! 

Thanks for all of your love mom, I love you so much!!! I am so glad to hear that the family is doing so great!
