THE BEST WEEK EVER!

This week was seriously so awesome!!!



So, Ricardo got baptized yesterday after church. One of the happiest moments of my life! Haha he was so ready. We visited with him every single day this past week. There were days that he even came to the church to visit US so we could teach him! He has not found a place to live yet, but we are helping him look for a one. Honestly, things were going just too darn well that I was like "c'mon, something has gotta slip up or something" but nope! Everything went really really well. We had been praying that he wouldn't be in the hospital and that he would feel alright. Prayers were surely answered. It was such a good moment to see him be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. It really is the most rewarding thing as a missionary to see someone enter the waters of baptism. It was beautiful :)
Also, he LOVED his tie! He went out on Saturday and bought a white shirt and he wore it all on Sunday. Thank you so so much! 



Haha Ricardo gets to church 2 hours early and
 so he was just sitting in the hallway.
He's wearing the tie you bought him!!
I mean, that's pretty much the biggest highlight of the week. We got to go to the temple on Saturday, and all 12 of the hermanas in the mission were able to go! So that was fun. We also went to a quinceañera which was bigger than any wedding I've been to. So nuts, but real fun.

I'm sorry this week's letter is short. It's been a really awesome week though! I can see my Spanish improving and I'm getting more and more comfortable speaking it. (Even though the video I sent might not show it😂). I really enjoy speaking it actually.

I also started the no snacking/no treats/not eating after dinner this week! And exercised every single day, so that was good! 

So we were all at dollar tree and I saw the meat there so I decided to buy the elders each some meat
and cooked it up ad gave it to them😂😂 sooooo gross hahaha
Love you guys so much! Jacob, great job on your test. Kim, keep it up with your art! B and Joe, nice work on all the work. Ha. 

My family is the best😊

Love Hermana Nissinen
