Hola hola, This week we have had a pretty good week. There have been ups and downs but we are working hard. We were about to put baptismal dates with 4 different people, which is always a positive moment, but already some of them are facing big challenges and doubting what they want to do. So yeah, the work goes up and goes down pretty quickly. But we are working hard. One really cool guy that we found is Juan Carlos. He is 20 years old and actually lives in a nearby little town called Quilicura. But he works in Las Cabras during the week. We found him at his work, and he let us in twice this week to teach him a bit. At first he didnt seem too interested, and just like a normal person.

Speakers are not assigned topics, but ponder what needs to be heard and prepare talks to give.      One of my favorite talks from this weekend was given by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, a retired German pilot, who serves as the 2nd ...

Newtown

"As a country, we have been through this too many times. "Whether it's an elementary school in Newtown, a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago, these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children. We're going to have to come together to take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics." -President Obama, 12-14-12 Yes, this has happened to many times. Small towns plastered across national news for all the wrong reasons. Intricate stories laid out over weeks displaying a web of corruption and a trail of broken hearts. Too much. Places like movie theaters and schools seem like places we can't even go. Since I was a kid, my perceptions of the time when my parents grew up seems like a time when everything was perfect. Old home videos from their childhoods set up a viewing window into another time. It seemed like...
