Hola Mamá y familia!
Thanks for all of the exciting news! That´s awesome that you could finish your Master´s project Mom! I´m really happy for you! That´s going to be exciting to hear about all of the crazy changes with teenagers in the house again! I´m sure you guys will enjoy it!
As for Buenos Aires, we had some weird warm weather followed by cold and rain yesterday! It doesn´t snow here- although it did snow a few years back and nobody knew what to do. That´s the only time from what people have told me that it´s snowed here in Buenos Aires.
I think the spiritual highs of the week were this past Wednesday and Sunday. Wednesday Elder Ruiz and I were able to teach a man named Roberto (66-years-old) and he told us that his daughter had stopped by his house and read in the Book of Mormon for two hours! We are super excited to get to know his daughter so that she can prepare for baptism along with Roberto.
Ending the awesome day Wednesday we saw a trial come up. We have been visiting with Romina and her three sons- Emanuel, Brian, and Mateo. Emanuel is preparing for baptism, but when we called Wednesday night we discovered that they had been kicked out of their house. There had been problems between the owner and the man that was letting them stay in the house. As a result, they didn´t have a place to stay. We talked with the bishop, and worked with the ward members to find a place that she could keep several of their things while she looked for a new place to live.
After fasting prayer and work on the end of Romina, Romina ended up being able to repair the relationship with her actual husband, and this past Sunday the whole family came! Romina, Daniel (her husband), Emanuel, Brian, and Mateo all came to church! It was awesome to see the family making the effort to come closer to their Savior Jesus Christ. I hope we can help them persevere and see the baptisms of Emanuel and Brian (and then Daniel further on).

I know that God lives! The problems that seem big to us are small in the eyes of God! Trust in the small and simple things! They fix the big problems! I love you all!
