WHAT THE HECK DELI IS GOING TO MEXICO CITY?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's so stinkin awesome!!!!!! I literally just wrote her a return letter today asking her about her papers and what not and I just sent it!!! Mom, will you call her or text her and say that I'm so excited for her and that I love her and that she's going to be a great missionary!!!!! And also to disregard my letter questioning when she was leaving!!! That is so AWSESOME!!!!! :D Dang, I literally just sent that letter right before I came here haha. Oh well. Yay for Deli!!!!! :) Gosh! What a crazy crazy time of our lives haha. I'm so sorry about last week and not sending you a big letter. I THOUGHT I still had time cause these dumb computers usually kick me out early and then let me back in but no...I really did run out of time haha. SO I sent what I had from last week about the Mennonite ladies and what not so hopefully that catches you up al little bit but! I'M GONNA TALK TO YOU ON SUNDAY ANYWAY SO IT'S OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so SO excited! SIster Ratto and I have been counting down the days!!! She's excited for me to meet her boyfriend. I told her I was excited for her to meet my boyfriend but he's currently unavailable due to his time consuming modeling career so she's gonna have to wait hehe oh life. :) BUT! I am so happy I get to talk to you guys it's ridiculous. This last week was the longest week of my life and We were kinda on an emotional roller coaster but we realized that it was because we were not exactly obedient on quite a few things. Ya we took too long for dinner and lunch one day cause we were exhausted and took too long of a nap and then at dinner we got sucked into going to this museum thing with members and they took forever so we got to bed late and then add all of those up it equals!...lack of blessings and increased anxiety. Lesson learned. I'm so glad that Heavenly Father forgives us and allows us to move forward with a clean slate. And hey! THank you for the package!!! I really needed the items you sent hehe and the missionary mints and sticky notes are awesome!! I LOVE THEM! And the CDs are great haha....but they are solo musica tehe...........it's just the instrumentals hahahhahaha! That cracked me up SO hard!! :D Solo musica means  JUST music :) Dahahah if I send it back can you return it and get the right ones? If not that's ok, it's pleasant music hahaha. Good times! :) Thank you so much for your efforts. :) I told Kent this but I'm going to be singing "How Great Thou Art" in sacrament with verses in english, Spanish and marshallese....I have yet to find a Marshallese hymn book yet though so I may just have Mila translate it. Speaking of which, wow. What a turn around in our investigators lives. We were about to drop some of our investigators because they weren't really progressing and they didn't have a desire to quit using alcohol and chew and they were always angry at each other and then BAM! They met with the branch president, and have started to read from the Book of Mormon as a family and as individuals...Mom the change is UNBELIEVEABLE. Sister Ratto and I walked up to their house the other day with the intent to drop them and their stairs looked different. When we got in we asked them if they've done something to their stairs..no. And then as we start talking to them we start to notice that the spirit is in the room and that they have different countenances then they told us about how they've started to read the book of Mormon as a family every night and they even taught their youngest daughter how to pray and WOW. Mom everything was different. And we've been back a couple times since then still different, the stairs still look different to haha which I think that's kinda symbolic but they really do! And they even came to church on sunday. And I had this really inspired idea to go around the room and have everyone say one thing they love about each member of the family and we were all laughing and smiling and once again the spirit was there. It's been a huge testimony builder to me that the gospel truly does bless families. When we read from the book of mormon, especially as families and when we feast upon them God blesses us with unity and an increased love. I've seen it in action. I've seen it change lives. :) Amazing stuff we're apart of. God is good. ALso, WE SET A DATE FOR BAPTISM WITH KOSHAMA THIS PAST WEEK!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting!!! She is so great! And her mom has been coming to church and she's taking the lessons and both of them plus their family that we haven't met are coming to a group family home evening tonight at the Galicia's where a couple of our other investigators will be as well. We're gonna teach the lesson and then the Galicias have set up some games and dinner for cinco de mayo!!! GOod times. Tonight's gonna be a little stressful cause we're gonna have white, Hispanic(Spanish only), and Marshallese investigators at the house so hehuhehu deep breathes and lots of prayers that everything will be ok and that the spirit will be there. Thank heavens that the spirit is universal haha. We're gonna watch that movie "touch of the master's hand" the one about the old violin that no one wants but as soon as a trained violinist picks it up and plays it, it makes the most beautiful sound ever. :) Ya, that's like us. Sometimes we look kinda run down or we seem a little less appealing than others or whatever and often people put a price tag on us telling us how much we're worth, but just like the master violinist, God can make us beautiful, a beauty that is beyond any worldy price. I am so glad that through Chrsit's atonement we can be made whole and complete and that the gospel  really does bless us and it blesses our families. I love you all so much and I can't wait to talk to you on Sunday!! I'll call first so we can have time to figure out the Skype thing. It'll probably be around 5 your time and yes mom! SHARE with Grandpa and Erma and stevie haha!! I'll talk to you first of course but I love them and miss them too! :) Also, mama I got you a gift for mother's day but it won't be there until next week BUT it's worth the wait tehe ;) I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! Tell Cass I missed her email and that I love her! And also, thanks to Sarah for the letter! I won't have time to write back right now, but I did get it and I love her so much!

Love you forever,

Sister Moreno
