Happy Mother's Day!!

Its like a mini library.... 

We put a Book of Mormon in it!

Sister Holman sent us moustaches so we had to try them on!

We got Julie's awesome package right after we learned that Carlos
was not going to be baptized after all.  We were so bummed,
 but this cheered us up and made us laugh!
THANK YOU SO MUCH JULIE!!

Hi mom!!! It was so good to talk to you! Sorry I didn't have very long to talk, and Im sorry I didn't really get to talk to dad or Tommy!!!! Tell him GOOD LUCK!!!! I am so excited for him. The MTC was SO fun and he is really going to love it there. Tell him to just have fun and enjoy every second of it because 12 days will go by so quickly. Good luck on your trip! I hope you have a good experience! Thank you so much for the pictures of Jace! I cannot wait to meet him! Aunt Anita said that Lane had to take a test the morning that he was born... how did it go? Is everything okay?  Julie sent me some powerful bug spray!!! So I am good now, but thank you so much! :) 

So about Carlos, we don't really know what happened, especially me, because I couldn't understand the conversation haha but apparently he works from early in the morning until 10 pm everyday but Sundays- and he said that is his day to rest and prepare- like do laundry and stuff. We haven't talked to him since early last week. However Pedro, I don't know if I told you about Pedro, but he is an older man that we finally got to come to church last week and also yesterday! He doesn't know how to read but we are teaching him how! Our first reading lesson is today. Which is cool. We are also teaching a Colombian lady who is a neighbor/friend of the Garzas. The work is extremely slow. All we do is knock doors because the ward isn't very helpful, and we just don't have many people to teach. We decided to plan a movie night and watch The other Side of Heaven and have the ward invite friends and get them excited about missionary work,so hopefully we can find more people that way. It was a very slow week but hopefully we can find some people soon!

Also thank you for the card! Julie sent me a ton of things from amazon, she sent me mustaches, and a cardboard cut out of Johnny Depp  and bug lotion and a million oreos!!!!!! Can you please tell her Thank you SOOO Much! They actually came on Thursday which is our 3 hour weekly planning session that wasn't going well, after Carlos told us he had to work on his baptism day... so it came just in time to make us smile while we were upset. Julie, thank you so much! Here are some pictures! This week we also had another exchange but it was with an english sister.... so we went down a nicer neighborhood where they spoke English but we didn't have    much success. We did find this cool mini-library though. The English speaking missionaries have a completely different experience than we do. Everyone we meet accepts what we say and praises God but they are stuck in their Catholic mind set- the English speaking missionaries encounter lots of baptists and other religions that just try to bible bash with you. Every English speaking person I've talked to says something about how we are evil for being racist against blacks (which is something i am so confused about- blacks and the priesthood? I don't even know how to explain that) and we exclude homosexuals, and we are polygamists. UGH! And they never listen to what we have to say. but the Catholics are nice- they just hide in their house when you come back. 

It was good to talk to you. I hope everything went well with Tommy's open house and farewell.  I wanted to hear more about that! Also what is his address?? I want to write him while he's in the MTC. Have a safe trip! I love you! And good luck tommy!!!! I love you so much!
