april miracle

Family and Friends,

Ok we witnessed the coolest miracle this week. I don´t think I wrote about them last week, but we found a family in the street that is amazing. It is a mom and her 5 daughters who are all from Ecuador. It freaks me out sometimes because some of the little girls remind me of our little cousins like Kate and Camille. Their ages range from 3 to 15 which sounds to me like quite a big load for the mom (the dad is working down in the south and can´t live up with them) but they are just the cutest little girls ever. We have taught them once so far and they all seemed to accept it pretty well. The mom is an Evangelist but I think she´ll come around. We gave them 2 copies of the Book of Mormon and when we handed a copy to the 13 year old girl, named Andrea, she immediately started reading the introduction. We found out later that that night she had read all of that and the all of the testimonies in the beginning of the book as well! We at the chapel on Sunday waiting for our investigators but none of them had shown up--punks--but after the meeting had started the door opened and in walked that family! It made me so so happy. I´m pretty sure they had a good time, I´m not exactly sure what the mom thought of it but I know the 3 youngest girls just loved primary haha. We looked in the door and they had the biggest grins on their faces and started waving to us, just makes me so happy to see their joy and the happiness people find here. We are going to make them all their own little bookmark with a scripture or something on it so they all can keep their own place in the Book of Mormon, try to make it fun and cute for them haha.

Elder Galeano and I are doing great, haha we have some really fun times. He loves talking about girls, and without fail he always points out the prettiest ones in the street. Sometimes he gets a little unfocused while we´re in the street...haha but it's alright. He is a great companion, and his helping me with my Spanish a ton.

Oh hey Dad, you´re gonna be super proud of me. A member gave us some lentils to bring home and eat, so I cooked some rice (my first time actually cooking rice by myself) and ate it with the lentils. To be honest, I really like them now, but I remember in the past when I just hated them hahaha, sorry for that haha, they really are good.

Oh tell Stephanie congrats! I´m so so happy for her. I want to see a picture! 

Well, Have a great week! I love you all.

Elder Franson
