feliz dia de corazon!!!‏

hey!!!!

well its been another adventure this week as usual. whitewashing is going as well as possible we are meeting new people all day. its fun!!! i got my dad's gift of gab so i kinda like talking to random people even if they slam the door in your face(yes that happened this week). we've been running into a lot of less actives this week. what a joy it is to help people come back to the gospel. we have this awesome lady in one of our wards sister ramos who was reactivated like 6 months ago. she has one of the strongest testimonies i know of. she is a divorced single mom and so we took her with us to an appointment with a single mom. she was incredible!!! we hardly had to teach because sister ramos was testifing the whole time about how the gospel has blessed her life. they are going to be best friends...they even life in the same complex. sis lopez and i decided we would start a group for single moms because it seems like that is all we are teaching right now. ill be a professional at teaching them by the end of this transfer...its better then teaching single men that's for sure.
let me tell you how the gospel is so amazing. on sunday my recent convert Luis came in the VC to say hi. he is AMAZING!!! a while back he referred his mom to have missionaries come and teach. well she accepted and is meeting with them and going to church. he's a great missionary!!! i failed to mention that 2 weeks ago luis passed the sacrament. i almost cried when elder gleaves told me. this work brings so much happiness...i could never express to you all how great it is. all the rejection makes it worth it because of the few who except. im grateful that Heavenly Father gave me the opportunity to serve a mission and see miracles daily. i just love it. the Lord truly takes care of us too. the other day we went to knock on the door of a referral and this lady invited us in to eat. she had talked to us before and is very christian...but man she is the sweetest lady ive met in awhile. the food was delicious!!! i so miss mexican food...now we eat with americans every night. its good food but i just miss the latin food. anyways.
i am doing really good...even though its freezing here right now!!! its been in the 50's the last few days which is cold for here.
i hope you are all well and have a great week.
oh and happy valentines day...I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
