Sorry to be so late on this blog this week.  We moved to Fort Collins this past week and we have been extremely overwhelmed and tired.  Andrea

Hello everyone!

     This week was great! I went on my first exchange with a sister leader in my own area and every single one of our lessons fell through except for one! We contacted like crazy and by the end of the day we had 8 lessons! It was cool to be able to take the lead on the lessons and talk to these people about our purpose as missionaries a little bit! My sister leader said that it was a great intercambio and that that I was confident and very expressive! YAY! Points for Leah! Also on Mother's day we ate SO MUCH FOOD! First we went to a members house and had turkey salad and rice, then we went to drop off Mother´s day cards to our investigators house and it's the family we´re teaching and they were celebrating and insisted that we come in and eat AGAIN. Man it was so worth it!  They fed us BBQ pork ribs! I haven't had food like that in almost 4 months! Okay so ribs, empanadas,quites, rice with gandules, coconut from their tree, coconut water, lots of soda, salad, and two pieces of cake! WE WERE SICK FOR TWO HOURS AFTER THAT! But it was amazing! It felt like being home at a real family gathering and they just welcomed us into their home and we really felt their love and caring for us! There were pictures and everything so we´re a permanent part of that Mother´s day memory! We shared the scripture about the stripling warriors and mothers and the husband´s mother (who we had never even met before) told us that us being there with them was the best Mother's day gift that they could have received! It really was awesome and amazing! Anyways love you!

Love Leah

P.S. there´s an earthquake going on here right now! Cool Right?

Hi Dad!

     Today was good - we had a fun day! Played sports which I'm still trying to put that into my fun category but I'm working on that! This week we had something crazy happen remember the hicks I told you about? Well this lady saw us again and said that they don't have any food and the sister of her husband wants them out of the house and a whole ton of stuff! She told us that we were her only source of help because her family wouldn't help and the US consulate wouldn't help either so she was without means until the 2 of June! Who Hoo? What on earth can a 19 and 21 year old do about that? We thought the exact same thing!!! Well we had to deal with that so that was cool! Love you!
