Hello!

Family!
 
The baby was born! I'm so excited! Greyson Woolf looks really cute in the photos from mom. :) Hope you are all holding him and hugging him for me.
 
So this week was filled with a lot of weird stuff. Our GPS died (completely fried), which is bad because our area is huge and we got lost for about an hour or two because we had problems reading the many maps. BUT we made it home!!! YAY! That was sister Carcamo's first day in the mission. It turned out to be very fun, just kinda sad, but we talked to everyone we could for directions and then gave them a card to check our mormon.org. good stuff. Then the next day we were confident in not getting lost, then we got lost again at the opposite end of our area. :) Yup. I'm still directionally challenged but it's gotten better. Then We all got food poisoning from Wendy's and were throwing up for 2 days...stay away from the chicken sandwich. On top of that we just had a lot of sad things happen in the lives of the people we are teaching and all we could do was comfort them, a lot of deaths. Basically this week was very humbling and the good news is the Sister Carcamo still wants to stay on the mission. ahah. Not that she was about to leave. It was just a lot to handle in a first week. But all is picking back up and we are eating again. We have been really blessed! Maria Jose wont be getting baptized this week because her father now does not want her to, but I know that she will someday. She has such a strong desire.
 
I feel like every week I learn something new but then I look back and I realize that I tend to learn the same things over and over again, just in a new way. The hope that I continue to have is that the Lord does not give us more than we can handle. Life is full of changes and transitions and through these times if we continue to seek for the positive and continue to help others we can find a peace inside ourselves. I truly do love teaching these people the Gospel. Those that are willing to listen, feel the spirit, and they cannot deny it testifying of our message. There are so many questions, we just need to go to the right source. I love you all and I hope that everything is good!
 
Hasta luego
