El sacrificio trae las bendiciones del cielo

OH MY GOODNESS I TOTALLY FORGOT TO SEND THIS LAST WEEK!! I had it all typed out and just didn't click send. Disculpenme por favor. 
Buenos dias amigos!!
Tengo algunas cosas que reportar. 
1. Estoy triste porque Yarah moved back to Los Angeles. Her work in the Melon factory ya acabo (finished) so I will never be seeing her again. Jokes, I'm totally gonna call her after the mission. But for now the ASL Sisters there will find her and help her. Super cool ASL miracle anyway. The Lindsay Sisters (aka the one and only Sister Connor and her beautiful companion) found BRIAN again!!! So I got to video call for just a few minutes and sign with him. So fun. 
2. We are trying to help the Torres family understand that the Word of Wisdom is a commandment from God. Sooooooo we have a nice little deal with them. Seven days of them living the Word of Wisdom while we go seven days sin azucar!!! (without sugar). Let's just say if that doesn't show them how much of a testimony we have of Joseph Smith and this gospel I don't know what will ;)
3. Marcelino is the most precious member missionary. We visited him this (last) week and video called his family to help them download the Gospel Library app on their phones and after I gave the phone back to him he just goes on and on to his son about all the good stuff on there. "Tu mama no puede leer entonces puedes leer por ella o pueden escucharlo juntos. Hay videos y las escrituras. Muchas cosas muy buenas"
4. WOW THE COOLEST MIRACLE EVER.  (Last) Friday afternoon we are doing weekly planning at the house and all of a sudden we get this call. It's from one of the Temple workers, Brother Brown (no relation). He told us a woman and her son went to the temple to receive a blessing. They didn't know where the local church building was, and they we told by the woman's Sister (who is a member in Mexico) to call the temple and ask. Well the temple was closed because it was being cleaned, meaning no one would be there to answer the phone. They decided to just drive to Fresno to find out! They arrived and some people helped them, and gave Carmen a blessing. She said that she had a headache when they got to the temple, but as soon as one of the men put his hands on her head, the pain went away! What a cool miracle in itself! Well they live in Dos Palos so we drove on over a few hours after they had gotten back and got to meet them and talk with them a little more about priesthood blessings. They are so amazing! It gets even better because (last) Saturday morning we get a call from an "unavailable" or "unknown" number. And it was the Sister in Mexico!!!!! She was so so so grateful that we were able to visit them, it brought her to tears. Shes been a member for about 10 years and she said shes been waiting for something like this so they could hear the gospel. God's timing is perfect! Carmen and her son, Saul, came to Church yesterday (last Sunday) and we are planning to visit them this week. I am so excited. The gospel is all about eternal families so what better way to share that than bring the family together through the gospel!

This was one day of water bottles given to us. 
No more Count Chocula for us this (last) week. 
Los Banos Tomato Festival!!!
