Family.

I wrote a message last week but it got deleted. ooops

We are teaching two families right now. The Ochoa family and the Cerda family(Alejandra and her kids). The second we taught the Torres family about the Word of Wisdom they started running away from us, and we haven't been able to get in since.

But Alejandra and her two kids over 8-- Christian and Danny-- are getting baptized. We found her 4 weeks ago today. It was 8 o'clock at night and we were in the most ghetto part of our area. A street with shoes thrown over the telephone pole and everything. The street is called Gould and in the Sister Missionaries Area Book it says to never go on Gould street ever. We were walking out of an apartment complex and she was doing her laundry, there was a fence in between us that was almost as tall as I was. I just yelled over the fence and asked her if she wanted us to share a message about Jesus Christ. She said we should come back tomorrow at the same time. She's really humble and has accepted everything we've said, so she's going to get baptized Feb 22.

Then there is another family-- the Ochoa Family-- that will probably be baptized in about a month. Anabella( the mom) and the two kids Leslie(16) and Ryan(9) and Erasmo (Anabellas brother) They have all come to church and there is nothing really in their way. They just need a little more time. So, if everything goes well those 2families will be baptized next month. So, that's who we're teaching.

Love,
