This week was great! I had a lot of fun and I am just loving the mission and this area. And my companion. We had a little bit of a problem with not having any minutes on our phone (haha!!) but we were able to get by. but, wow was that a headache! 
We´ve been able to teach more of Yasmina and her kids. it is absolutely amazing! We´re teaching a whole family! It´s amazing what has happened, with the change and their desire to participate. Aisha, the oldest with 15 years old, before didn´t want to participate and the youngest ones couldn´t sit still long enough. But now, we´re leaving them little compromises and they´re doing all of it! They´re coming to church and the leaders in YM/YW say that they´re doing great. It´s really amazing to see the change going on in their family. We feel really hopeful for them! The only problem is that Yasmina and her boyfriend aren´t married and they won´t get married for awhile, due to money. We read in PME and we´re just not sure whether to wait until the whole family can be baptized or to baptize the kids and wait for them to get married. Yasmina told us before that they can be baptized, but we just hope we´re doing everything according to what they need and what has to be done. 
Kalman is progressing well and he´s completely stopped smoking! he´s so excited to be baptized on saturday and he loves church. he always feels at home and that its a refuge for him. He´s such a funny little dude. we have a lot of fun with him. 
Alex is doing great! He´s getting baptized on sunday. We went over the baptism questions with him and it was great. He´s reallymaking sure that he does everything well and that he recieves a testimony of everything. He has a little bit of doubts regarding to small things, but nothing at all that will stop him from keeping ALL the commandments. He´s going to be a great leader and I have no problem telling him that! haha!! 
A JAS, Josue, was baptized about 2 years ago and he´s a machine! His 2 youngers sisters just came from Honduras and we´ve starting teaching them. they came to church for the first time yesterday and they loved it! The leaders told us that it went so well and they´re participating in all the activities. the oldest, katerine, 15 years old, is really prepared and hopefully Paola, 13 years old, will have the desires to follow her example. Also, they cook THE MOST DELICOUS FOOD YOU HAVE EVER TASTED. LIKEEVER. oh i die everytime.

love ya!!
