Pete

Hey family! :)
Oh I love P-days. I love getting on here and getting to read your emails and then write and tell you about the week I've had. And let me tell you it has been a good one! :)
So first of all---humidity is gross. its like sweaty man. just gross. and then because of the humidity it brings out some....creatures. that I'm not to fond of. mosquitoes. centipedes. pincher bugs. spiders. see the common theme here? all gross things. things that bite. whether your sleeping or not. in your bed or even in the toilet. and all of the sudden you end up with red itchy bumps all over your skin.  that's been the arch enemy this week----bugs.

BUT!!!!! one thing that Illinois does have that is cool......
so its like 9pm getting home from a long day of work~ and its starting to get dark outside you think you cant see and then oh wait. flash of light. is someone taking a picture? another flash of light. does my dress have static? another flash...no wait. just a second......its a firefly!!!! :) I saw my first firefly! and you know what else i did? I caught it! and put it in a jar and his name is Pete. but then we remembered the missionary white handbook states that we cant have pets, so we let Pete go. and i think i know why its in the book. because when you have one pet--every other bug wants to be your pet. hence. the  Suzy centipede in the toilet later that night. and Jeff the pincher bug in our sink the next morning.

So enough with the bugs--missionary work.
Lupita now has a date to be baptized! July 30th. :) she is seriously so asombrosa. She loves reading the Book of Mormon like no one else that I know. She is starving for the words in the book. and she recognizes how this gospel has been blessing her life and is making her a better person. I love teaching Lupita. She's pregnant and waiting to find out if its gonna be a nino o nina. :) estamos muy animada por ella.
Fransisco is getting stronger and better every time we teach him. He likes going to church now and has even started reading the Book of Mormon to one of his workmates during their lunch break. :)

On Sunday at church I had two different members tell me that I have the face of a Mexican. I just have to think its from eating all those tortillas. hahahaha. and you know what I think is gonna be weird?... having church in English.
Um we have just really been pounding the streets this week looking for some new investigators who are ready to hear the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. :) We have just taught some really awesome lessons this week and even had Jackie a young woman come with us on Monday. it was a lot of fun :)

So that's the update this week! hope all is well! :) sure miss you!

Couple shout outs this week:
