Hey this is way short but I wanted to say hello! Things are going good. Mario now has a baptismal date of April 10, we're so excited for him! Cute Mario is still a grumpy old man but he's gone through a compete transformation it's crazy. He always give us gifts now it's so funny. After we start nearing the lesson he gets up mumbling (in spanish) still kind of sounding grumpy I'm going to go get a gift for you muchachas. He's given us little samples of perfume, scarfs/hankies, chocolate, lotion, and the newest gift was some foundation (all these things he had around the house from his wife). Haha the foundation was sooo dark. We're going to put it on and take pics. He gave Hermana Guzman "bronze" which is as dark as chocolate and me "beige" which is a light shade of brown ha. So last night Hermanita put hers on and she looked African American and I'm going to put mine on today so we can take pics and I can look like a true Mexicana, woo hoo! Mario is so cute. Also, we had to move Graciela's date to late April because her husband health is horrible and he has been in and out of the hospital with an infected kidney, soooo sad! So we're praying for them and hope all will be well. We're teaching a lot of amazing people and it's way exciting. So this week we have a mission goal of contacting 20,000 people in our whole mission which means 34 people every day per componionship which isn't the easiest but I'm excited. Today we've contacted 1 person ha, we better get busy hehe. I love the gospel so much and love seeing the change it makes in the live of others. Amazing! Thank you for all your love and prayers!

Love,

Hermana Alvey =-)
