Hola Querida Familia Mia,
Last week- Body World - If you don't know what it is, it's peoples donated cadavers donated to some guy who cuts them up to show anatomy in different positions. Pretty cool - Okay - so for the phone call- just ignore the e-mail. Jose & Isabel might be getting baptized, we have church from 9 - 12(1) & Sis. Fitzgeralds family will be in church from 1 - 4 maybe we'll call at 5 & have the baptism at 6. Maybe the baptism will be at 5 and we'll call at like 6 or 7. Well, who knows- all I can say is it will be after 5. Good Luck. Sorry I can't be more specific but yeah-
So Jose & Isabel their miracle story (being dead and brought back to life) well they've already come to church 4 times & are super ready to be baptized. So we went over on Saturday and they just kept throwing all these questions at me- They want to go on a mission now- oh and I said "I have a question for you, will you read this verse - Alma 7:15?" So they are praying about the 10th. I'm pretty sure that it might go through. Maybe - Soleys date is now the 30th of May. We fasted w/ Concepcion this weekend - To find a way to be able to come to church. (For Luis to let her) We'll find out Tuesday what happened. We went to the Macfabon's for dinner on Sunday & I took away all her coffee it was fun. A lot of our investigators just "disappeared" so we're going to look for them & some more.
So this Sunday was Stake conf. They were "supposed to" announce the split of Bonita 3 but still haven't. So I'm giving up hope with that one. Oh, I'm still in Spring Valley.
Plan on the call at 8:00 my time, I think 7 yours.

Hola Bonita Familia Mia,
Solo Quiero Decir Gracias Muy rapido por todo que han hecho para mi durrahte mi tiempo aqui en San Diego El servir una mision es el mejor decision que jamas he hecho en mi vida entonces quero agradecerles pro todo su apoyo.
(Hey, I didn't write it, I just copied it, and if it doesn't make sense, it's because her writing is a little hard to read sometimes- and I don't do Spanish!)
HEY-IT'S JEN NOW, HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS: "I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY FAST. MY TIME HERE IN SAN DIEGO SERVING A MISSION IS THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE. I WANT TO THANK ALL FOR THEIR SUPPORT." I THINK THAT'S THE GIST OF WHAT SHE SAID.
Well this week as usual was llena de milagos! Get this, Jose & Isabel came to church on their own! & to a charla fogenera for the stake! Yeah! They are still trying to figure out why Heavenly Father sent them to us. So we'er going to give them the Why- Who- What- When- and Where- on our appointment this week! Concepcion still wants to get baptized but Luis won't let her go to church because he thinks it's too soon - so we need your prayers! This comming Sunday the rumor is that they are announcing the split- Thsy want to call us the Blossom Lane Branch- LAME! I like Spring Valley Branch, but whatever. Today we're going to go to Body World a traveling exhibit or frozen body parts- So I'm excited.
Soley's mom is sorta being "silly" & won't ler her get baptized yet- She decided they needed to go out of town & that we can't see Soley until the 2nd of May.(The day before her scheduled baptism) :-) English work is not like Spanish work. Anyway, There is such a huge difference in teaching English people & Spanish people in English. I don't know what else to say-

hola Familia Mia,
Ok so I'm at the laundry mat watching my clothes spin in the dryer bigger than I am. Here are the miracles of this week. Isabel & Jose were supposed to be out of town this weekend but surprised us and came to church! They stayed for the classes and loved it! They took notes and everything! Wednesday we're going to go read Alma 7:9-15 with them! and give them a little pressure... still not sure if Concepcion was able to go in TJ yet.but we're going to see her Tuesday. Did I tell you she got her answer--- she was praying (specifically about the Book of Mormon & Jesus) and she told me she felt really warm and happy! Then she told me her brother in Utah is learning about the church too!
Wahooo! Soley Holt is still set on the 3rd for Baptism. Sam's family came to church yesterday! Yeah! We're going to do a Noche De Hogar with them this week...
Finally! May 3rd is also Stake conference- do you know what that means? They are making branches! Finally!
Yesterday @ church they opened the curtain for the 2nd time! Huge!!! Today we're going to Chula to get the oil changed in the car - we'll go do something w/ the Chula sisters... Oh, remember Sophia? I talked to her sister the other day. She said she'd been going to our church in Mexico. We'll try to baptize her when she comes back! MILAGROS - Yesterday we had a carne asada @ the SErvins w/ the Elders & the Medina's from Lemon Grove. I love those 2 families. Anyway... things are all good. It's getting hot. Yesterday it was 99 degrees. Transfers are next week, so we'll see what happens.

P.S. Yeah, I got the package- after Easter, but it's great, thanks!

Familia,
So sounds like my letters get there late or you're all just slow - Transfers are here again, we'll see what happens. They're splitting the ward this transfer (comming) too, so hopefully I'll stay! Anyway sounds like Ty is getting pretty big & talking a lot. So Concepcion is doing great! We teach her in a busy car fix garage place. But she loves the Gospel & the Book of Mormon - W're going to commit her & Jose & Isabel this week! How was your Easter? Grous Creek? Conf? Sounds like you're all keeping busy. Thanks for the letters and packages & KNEE HIGHS! Perfect timing- We go through them so fast. Yesterday Maria Ballows granddaughter got baptized! Huge miracle! And @ E. Zaldana's baptism, everything was falling through as usual- so I had to teach during the intermedio - suirprise - but that's the life of a missionary I guess. Anyway we're still working hard. I can't believe how fast this transfer went by... Yeah, I remember Chase Nelson. He played baseball. Anyway... Thanks for all the letters & packages.
We taught 15 lessons this week. Getting closer and closer to the 21 that E. Perry has asked we get. Oh Sharp sent that paper so I'll get it in the mail hopefully tomorrow. (Scribble, scribble) (Nevermind) But things are good.
