Greetings fellow Patriots! Haha It is strange to think you will all be watching fireworks in the HOT summer weather while here, its its cold, overcast and not even a holiday. hahaLuckily, my zone is having a specially BBQ today and all of us Gringos are calling it a 4th of July Party. haha So I will put my hand over my heart an think of you all. hahaPresident Gillespe gave our Zone special permission to have a BBQ on the Beach because in June, we had 18 baptisms! This is a record for the our area so we are all pretty happy!

Also... This week I had the Baptism of Querida Maria Jofre! It was so special. It was actually one of the most stressful days before the baptism. Early in the morning we had to run to buy fabric to make a new tunic for her baptism. We were running all around town and about a half hour before her baptism, we were able to relax and breath easy.

I am feeling much better and keeping healthy and strong. Today I don't have a lot of time to write, because we are running late for the BBQ, but I promise to have an incredible letter next week to make up for the lame letter this week :) I hope the Pictures we make up for it too...

I love you all! I love hearing from you and the exciting things in your life! Keep those emails comin´

Mucho Amor,

Hermana Royal
