HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

To me! haha. Ok so I ate a TON the past week! I had a different birthday dinner almost every night of the week! From pizza, to Mexican, to Italian, to BBQ chicken! It was a good week! One night we each were fed a ton and then Hermana Pastran fed us a HALF of a cantaloupe with HALF of a mango in it too! I was SOOO FULL!!!! I attached some pics of one night of b-day celebration. Don't worry people I still worked

So something way exciting for our ward is that Carlos and Enrique both got their mission calls this last week and opened them together! They are the first missionaries of our ward! Carlos is going to Rawley, NC mission speaking Spanish and Enrique is going to Lexington Kentucky English speaking! woohoo! It was fun to be there for that. I'm going to send this real fast and write the other half of the letter so that the elder that's lending me his camera cord can leave .....yay pics! and yay for cameras and computers that actually allow me to email pics!
.........

..... so we got to be there to see them open their calls....with half the ward there too. I love this ward so much!
We've got an investigator ready to be baptized! Fernando, the awesome one that's just so ready! we're just waiting for a few things to be worked out but hopefully it will be soon that he's baptized.
We've been doing good though....we have a mobat (Mormon battalion) night coming up tomorrow night for investigators so that will be fun. I'm also going to play violin for the next fireside!!! Sister Nelson...my roomie now for 8 months..is accompanying me in O My Father. So it'll be really pretty. Thank you Brenna for sending me that arrangement!!! But that's pretty much all the excitement now. We're just trying to help our investigators progress and learn and understand the gospel more. Mercedes is thirsty for it, but has been super busy with work and just recently had a minor HEART ATTACK! So that's not good! We offered our help for anything but she's doing good. You can tell though that she wants this for sure for her kids. So it'll all work out in the Lord's time.
It is gorgeous down here! Nice and warm! We're (a bunch of missionaries) are going to Red Robin today for a b-day lunch get together... for mine and another elder's b-day. So that will be fun!
Love you all and hope to hear from you soon.
Love Tawny
