There and back again the story of the long lost shoe....‏

Dear family,
I finally received my other package from Christmas. Yeah. I now have TWO lovely and new shoes, much better than only having one.
Yeah!!!!!! Congratulations Scott and Betsy! I´m so happy for you two. I hope you enjoy every minute with your new baby girl. I´m so excited for you.:)
Okay I´m sorry to hear that it is still really cold there. Well I guess it is March, in like a lion out like a lamb. Don´t worry it will be spring before you know it.
Thank you mom and Aunt Janie for your emails this week. I love them as always.
I think it might be kind of short this week I want to attach some pictures.
This week was a good one. I am so pleased that 3 of our investigators came to church yesterday. I feel extremely blessed to be here and working with these great people in Tigre.
One of our investigators , is really good. He really likes to read in the Book of Mormon and loves church and everything he is learning. As for our other investigator, she still has a baptismal date for the 19th of March! However, we are having trouble getting her to church. We know that if it is a problem now, it will still continue to be an issue after her baptism. She has all the desire in the world to come to church. She has attended twice and after the first time she could feel a difference in her life. She noticed that there was something new and good and she liked it. Well we have tried all different sorts of ways to help her come to church. The problem is that her mother thinks that it is dangerous for her 18 year old daughter to be out alone on Sunday morning. She wants us to come by every week to pick her up, and if not us then some member. We explained that we would love to come by every week, but it´s just not possible and that she has to put in her part. The mother is a less active member and doesn't really want to make any sacrifices to help her daughter attend. However she wants very much for her children to be baptised. Well yesterday she was ready to go, but her brother who was going to go with her, didn't want to get up. Well with out him her mother wouldn't let her leave. So we are planning to take several members with us this week so they can meet other people their age and maybe this will give them a little more desire to get up and go. I am praying fervently that we can find away to help them.
I am really excited for this next week, things are going well here in Tigre and I know that we will see Miracles if we work hard and continue to trust in the Lord.
Well I love you all tons,
Aleta
