February 3, 2014 (Still out of order)

SO this week was EXTREMELY.... well there are really no words for it.  Its weird cause I had a dream the other night that I told you all about it mom :)  I am pretty sure that is Heavenly Father's way of making sure I never get homesick :)  But then when I email or write letters I can't remember what I have or haven't told you!  So If I tell you something I already have I apologize.  

So this week was Sister Martinez's birthday!!  (Totally feels like it was forever ago, but it was only last Wednesday).  We spent a lot of time cooking and eating :)  (See attached picture of our cheesecake)  

I don't know if I have told you about my family here...  They are the most amazing people ever and are totally getting baptized!!!  We tracted into Mark and started teaching him.  He has been to church 4 weeks in a row!!  He lives with his sister Erica who we started teaching as well!  We started teaching Erica's two kids.  So we have taught the first lesson 4 times in their house because there was always someone else wanting to learn :)  Well to our surprise Eric (the dad) wanted to come to church!!  So Erica explained a lot of the first lesson to him and so did Mark!  They are our miracles ;)  

OH So for Sister Martinez's birthday her mom sent her a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers!!!  They are so pretty...Except they stink and I have had allergies for the past week :)  Doesn't help that the weather here is bipolar.

One last thing since its almost Valentines day ...
We learned this in Relief Society and I wanted to share it.
