Por La Lluvia

Mi Querida Familia,

We were going to go to Soller today (it´s a port/tourist town here on the island) but... por la lluvia no es una buena idea (due to rain it isn't a good idea). Entonces (so), we´re going to go bowling (I don´t know how to say ¨bowling in Spanish).

1- Me in front of a really old building in Valldemossa
2- Me in front of a new house in Valldemossa... I thought that Dad might like it since it was made entirely out of stone
3- A window decoration in a shop, and you can tell we were in a tourist town because the sign was in English
4- A small little art gallery with a man from St. Petersburg... the art was alright, but I just liked the half-dome design in the architecture

I enjoyed Erin and Alyn´s blogs (I like your childrens´ blonde hair too Al). Why don´t all of my siblings set up there blogs so I get their entries sent to my email (have I said this before?) Sorry if I´m repeating myself... I just like to see what´s going on sometimes.

I´m excited to hear about the changes at the house mis padres (my parents)- no more tarps? Really?! Wow. That´s big news. Y por favor, envien fotos de la acera y el jardin cuando puedan, ¿vale? (And please, send pictures of the sidewalk and the garden when when you can, okay?) Jesse- por favor, ayudales hacer este para mi? Al mejor, ya tu estas ayudando con los dos (Jesse- please, help them do this for me? Maybe, you're already helping with both.)

Tell Anna I said happy bridal shower, would you mom? I´m sad I can´t be there, but I hope I´ll get to see pictures of the wedding! Will you send me her mailing address mom?

Tambien, me hace falta fotos de dos de mis sobrinas (Charlotte y Eliza) para traer a citas a mostrar a la gente (Also, I am in need of pictures of two of my neices (Charlotte and Eliza) to bring to appointments to show to the people) . Erin and Cody, would you be able to get some cute snapshots printed to send me? I don´t have any hard copies to show people! Gracias.

I have an exciting story to share: last Friday we were making contacts and we talked to this woman named Guadalupe who used to be a nun... but isn´t anymore... and we told her that we had a the Book of Mormon to share with her the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and she said, ¨Es verdad. Que hago?¨ ("It is true. What do I do?") And we went to visit her at her house on Saturday and we taught her about the Restoration and asked her if she wanted to be a part of Christ´s true church and be baptized, and she said ¨Si, cuando?¨ ("Yes, when?) And she came to church on Sunday and we´re going to visit her today. She has a goal to be baptized on the 16th of May... but we still have to teach her a lot... including some commandments that I think she might have problems with since I don´t think she´s married to her ¨pareja¨ ('partner') and she might smoke... But I´m so excited!

Tengo que terminar familia- les quiero, como siempre, (I have to finish family- I love you, like always)
