hey family how are things going? things are going really well for us here in Los Aromos. It is now August and the weather shows it. Its cold and rains often now. We had a really good week that finished with 5 people coming to church. All of the Gonzalez Vega family came except the dad as well as another lady in the ward and a friend that the Parada Family invited. We are teaching Margarita Vega and she accepted a baptismal date for the 28th of August. We are really excited about that. She is going to be the way to help her family accept the Gospel. She loves participating in things and is anxiously waiting for tomorrow afternoon to be able to go to relief society.

Cleaning rust off of a fence for Hermana Zamora

This week we had the opportunity of doing service. We helped install a few cabinets in a house and also helped a lady prepare ground for planting corn. The funnest service was scraping rust off a fence for a lady in our ward. We used power tools so it was easy.

There are many families excited to do family home evenings with their neighbors and after a special fast and testimony meeting yesterday, many came up to us to tell us they were going to be giving us a call during the week to set something up.
Something funny that happened yesterday was during the closing hymn in sacrament meeting. we have a lady who can barely see and who is really old that conducts the music and I was playing. The closing hymn was Called to Serve and the introduction is a little different. It goes right into the song but the sister conducting didn't catch that at all so i started the song and nobody was singing so i went into the intro again. finishing the intro this time i put more emphasize on the triplet but again nobody caught it....the third time around people finally got it but it made me look dumb in front of people who don't understand music as they thought i didn't know how to play the introduction......haha
well we are hanging in there with everything still and getting things going here again. We have a really important week ahead of us. have a great week everyone! love you elder nelson
