This week was sure a great week for Hermana Arch and I.  Elsa and Atilano are progressing and attended church with us this Sunday!  Elsa is for sure planning on getting baptized the 2nd of September.  We still need to talk with her husband about this date.  He is very supportive and has a lot of questions.  They sure love how the family is a big part of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We are going to stop by this week and can't wait to hear what comments they have about Sunday.  As for Carmen, we pass by, but she doesn't receive us.  She is having a lot of oposition right now because she knows the church is true.  We think she is a bit scared about the thought of being baptized (thinks that she has to completely change).  We are hoping that she will be able to recieve us so that we can at least communicate.  HAPPY NEWS! The Pinto family attended church this Sunday for the first time in a LONG time.  We were beyond happy to see them.  Also we have been able to teach Ana (the mom of Tania, who is a recent convert)  We are finding more and more people and have been having great experiences with all the people we are meeting and contacting.  For example, we helped Andrea make a strawberry fruit salad for her buisness.  It makes me so happy to hear that the family is doing so well.  I cannot believe that school is going to start! Sports will be fun too! Sure miss watching sports.   What is freaking me out is how big all the boys are getting.  So fun about Sunsplash! So awesome about Lauren in Peru! Will be such a great experience - can't wait to hear about it or see pictures.  Oh, I cut Hermana Archs hair! Looks pretty good being that it was my first time haha I also started teaching English! It was so fun helping everyone learn. Hope you guys have a great week! LES AMO MUCHO!  

Love,
