Hey, we are in the hospital right now finishing up with the surgery on the cyst of Elder Jordan. Sorry that I didn’t write very much, but I’ve got to go hang with the little guy. The church is still true, even in Hospitals and I love you a lot!!! 

Much love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week was a strange week, that’s for sure. We were in the house a lot. Elder Jordan is doing great. Since his cyst was infected, they left it open so that is would heal better - that is why we have to be in the house - to keep the thing clean. He’s getting restless and so am I, but I could at least leave a couple of times on splits. Elder Narvaez came with me one day to teach a lesson and we began by talking about faith and then the Atonement. The spirit arrived strongly and we identified it. We set two dates. One son, who has 19 years, Adrian, was especially sincere.  Sadly the family didn’t come to church. They weren’t at their house when we went by Sunday morning. I felt blessed to be able to have a cool experience in such a short workweek though.  It helped me this week to feel more the sense of urgency, because I only had 1 or 2 hours to work, so I knew I had to get everything out of it. That was a good lesson to learn.

All this sitting sure makes me appreciate and miss working! It is sooooo much cooler to be working hard. We see the doctor again on Thursday and he’ll give us the news of how things are going.  Until then, we’ll be in the house. 

One verse from the scriptures that hit me was about how God brings great things to pass through small and simple means. I just felt humbled and so little. I love that even though we are nothing, we are everything to God! (Pres Uchdorf´s talk). Love ya!
