Hola Familia ! Como están? 

Hows everything out in Europe? :) i hope you guys are having fun out there and   taking tons of pictures. I cant wait ot check em all out. 

Things here are going good, still pretty cold out here but its been a nise change of things. Sweater and scarf weather out here and let me tell you Elder Hawkey reps a v neck sweater like you cant believe ha ha Me and my companion are doing good and have been working super hard out here together, it has been a little tough getting used to all the changes for him but hes doing good and we have really been seeing miracles out here.

Silvia our main investigator is progresing super well and just loving it, she is seriosuly so prepared and one of the most amazing ladies I have ever met, super smart and educated and she loves to speak english ha ha I cant wait for you guys (espesially mom) to meet her. She is progresing really well thoguh and we were really excited bescause this week her daughter came to church with her and comited to be baptised on the same day as her mom :) this girl is so shy and timid, but the ward really helped her out and she absolutly loved it. They live alone, just them 2 so its going tom awesome to see them take such an important step in their lives together :) 

We have some othger good investigators but I have to tell you guys about this kid Alejandro. So hes 17 and  the nephew of a family we were teaching. This kid is super crazy and alwsy told us how he didnt believe in God or in anything.... That was a couplke months ago but a few weeks ago we stoped by this family  and they wernt there so we talked with him alone. He expresed alot of troubles he had in his life and how he needs help, we comited him to read the book of mormon and to pray to find out if God was there for him.... He recieved his answer and ever sinse has been going to church with us. as long as literally everything else the church has ( seminary activities, mutual, literally evbeyting) Thhis kid is such a stud and just yesterday after church he tolf us how he is going to get baptised so he can recieve the priestgood and prepare himself to serve a mission :))) this kids conversion story is incredible, a true miracle and a witness that literally everyone can change. Were excited thoguh and he will be getting baptised in the next couple of weeks :)

I feel like I am doing good, staying focused and just livin the dream out here. Its seriously such an adventure out here and we have so many crazy experienses out here. LIke I always say, its crazy how different it is out here. LAst week of the month and im running low on money soi this week Im livin on 50 pesos, wich converts to like 5 dollars. Thats the crazy thing thoguh, like I bought a ton of food with that today and still have some left over, gotta love how cheap styuff is in foreign countries. ha ha well i guess only the food but itsw funny to me 

This week should be a good one, This wendsday Elder cook of the quarum of the 12 will be visiting us and our misosn so were super excited for the devotional. I hope you guys have an awesome week to and you know your in my thoguhts and prayers. LOve you guys !
