It was sure fun to talk yesterday. After all we went through to get Skype going, it finally worked! First we asked two different member families to lend us their laptops to be able to talk at the same time. Then we had a member take us in her car over to the church where we were going to use the internet, but we couldn't get it working. So then we went back over to Hermana Xiomara's house where at last it all worked. Whew! But you all looked great and it was fun to get to meet the two new babies and to see everyone else.

Hermana Xiomara is the R.S. president and her husband is the first counselor in the bishopric.They live across the street from us and take care of us real well. They are converts of 4 years, and their oldest son has been in Guatemala on his mission since January, so they get real excited about missionary stuff. She was sitting at my side just out of reach of the camera and asking me questions and so that's who I was talking to. She was glad to be able to meet you all!

We are still working to find investigators who want to progress. Daniela is doing really well and went to Mutual last week and to a ward activity!

Hermana Irma was worrying us a couple weeks back because she said she couldn't accept the Book of Mormon. And based on what her family had told her, she shouldn't have been trying any other church than the Catholic church, so she didn't want to keep listening to us. It made us kind of sad but we kept going and trying to explain in different ways the necessity of the Book of Mormon. Last week as a last resort we assigned her to read 2 Nephi 29 (the bible, bible, bible chapter) and that made all the difference. She received a further understanding that God has many books, and that He is the same today, yesterday, and forever, and why would she reject more of the word of God? It was an awesome lesson where she practically taught us. I received another witness that the Book of Mormon really is the word of God. We had used all of our own words and had testified all we could, but it wasn't until we let the scriptures do the talking that the Spirit was really able to drive it home for her. I think she is doing okay now, and we will see how she continues to progress.

Well, thank you so much for your prayers and support. I am doing really well and enjoying the time I have here. I have such a great testimony of prayer and the wonderful ways God blesses us in mysterious ways.

Love you, and have a great week!
