Mother's Day, Repentance, and Discipline

Hello family happy mothers day!!! I miss you all so much!! I hope that seeing that I am still alive kept you all at peace.
Jenna have fun at prom I wish I was there to help you get ready.
Lauren good luck on your test I will be praying for you!!
Emma! I love you emma! I prayed for you especially on your birthday!
Jonathan I loved your birthday hat! You are so lucky that you got to go to disney land! 
So more about my week that I didnt get to tell you guys about. We have a few investigators.
Nicole is 17 and has great potential but her family quite literally makes fun of her desire to go to church and learn more about god. So she is facing a lot of ridicule with them. 
Carolina is a mom of 2 and really would like repentance in her life. She is an inactive evangelical and whenever we pray she screams things like aleleuja and Praise the lord... but in spanish. It is a bit different but she is reading the book of mormon and loves it. We hope to get her a baptism date this week. The first day we contacted her she told us how she needed the love of god in her life and we read the story of alma and how he recieved a remission of his sins. She just cried right in the street! I hope that we can help her more. 
Our other investigators Tania marco and christian arent progressing they are in santiago all the time on vacation so we havent had any contact with them and they have kinda been avoiding us. So we will see if we can get back in contact with lessons. 
This week will be one of looking for new investigators. 

One thing that is different and kinda weird about chile is taxi´s. You share them with other people you dont know. The taxi wont go until the car is full. It is a great way to contact but it takes so much longer. 

I love you all so much! You have no idea how much I needed to talk to you all yesterday. I pray for you every day and carry your picture with me and show chile my perfect eternal family.
Family we have no idea how lucky we are to have mom and dad. For one thing mom. Thank you for keeping the house clean. Here people just dont care and junk is just everywhere. THANK YOU THANK YOU. Dad thank you for teaching us how to work and to respect our parents. Here many Parents let their kids do quite literally whatever they want. They just go and do whatever floats their boat and that is when they get into trouble. DICIPLINE AND RULES ARE SO GREAT. Everyday I am more and more greatful for my family and my parents. 
Mom I hope you had a great mothers day and I love you so much. I miss my mom more than anyone else! I love you!!! And cant wait for a mom hug soon.
I hope you all have a great day. The church is true!
