Que tal yall! 
Sorry I procrastinated writing this email! I don't have a ton of time but basically the big high of the week was that we got to go the temple with our friends Cristain and his fam to show them the temple grounds and have a lesson! It was awesome and they loved it! They are gonna be getting married in 2 weeks and then get baptized the day after! And they are planning on getting sealed 1 year from now! So happy for them! 

Also happy birthday to President Nelson! I am so grateful that we have a living prophet that guides us and helps us come closer to Christ! 
Here's one of my favorite quotes from him:

"The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives."

This is so true! No matter what trials or difficulties we have in our lives, if we turn to and focus on Christ we can have joy! Christ has felt everything negative thing we would every feel and every trial we would experience. He knows us and loves us perfectly! Because of his atoning sacrifice, we can have true joy through him. 

Love yall!
