Week Thirty-Seven: July 4th, 2011

Dear Family,
This week has been a good week but not a really exciting week. It's been below zero the past few nights which has made a few of the chileans not so happy. We have had the chance this week to meet with Teresa and teach her a few lessons and now today she has to go back to work. It is just a little sad because she will be working so much that we will only be able to see her about once a week and she will only be able to go to church about twice a month. So that will be quite a trial for her. We have also had the opportunity to visit Iris and actually last week we were able to have a Family Home Evening with Iris and Nibaldo and his family. It was really good. We talked about the importance of Families and more importantly Eternal Families. She even made Martin (her inactive member boyfriend) go to church on Sunday and even more than that he had to wear a suit. We also met with Daniel. He has been going through some harder times and it looks like his wife is gone for good. But when we went by his mom was there with a fire pit in his house which was a little crazy. She is from the country. You could totally tell that the firepit was not his idea. He is doing ok. We really want him to meet with the Bishop. Well that is pretty much all that has been happening this past week and I hope all of you guys are having a good week.


Love,
Elder Holton
