Saludos desde Allentown! It was snowing a TON yesterday and our cars were grounded so we weren't able to leave very far...... So that's why you're getting this letter today! Things are going super well here. We had a baptism on Saturday! Alicia Martinez. Her father came to the USA without his son or daughter a couple years ago, was baptized a year or two ago, and finally brought his son and daughter over a few months ago. The parents were awesome. They did not force their kids to convert. They invited the missionaries over and they began to teach. The daughter, Alicia, believed it was true and was baptized this past weekend. She is about 13 years old. We are still working on Carlos, her older brother, who is 15. He is close. I give him a month till he decides to be baptized. It will be an awesome day!!!
We are visiting a ton of less-actives. We are trying to help them rekindle that fire that they had when they were baptized! It is always deep down. We just need to do our part to find it and keep the flame burning. If we don't keep doing the little things the flame will burn out. Always do the little things! From them great things come to pass.
Well, in the words of my last companion, the 6 Month Re-Entry Program starts right about now. Yesterday we bought a whole bunch of fruits and vegetables. I made a delicious smoothie this morning. I just got some new running shoes. My basketball game is better than ever. Look out world. I am looking good.
We also had a reactivation of one hermana named Zulma. She is preparing to go to the temple in a few months. She has completely turned herself around. Situations in her home aren't preferrable. Not a whole lot of support from family. Not even a ton of confidence from members in the branch. But she is doing her part. She is reading, praying, coming to church, and participating. She is overcoming stereotypes and defying the norm. We are excited for her.
Yeah so yesterday it snowed about 6 or 7 inches. We had to shovel our car out. We got stuck a couple times but through faith and works we got out. haha It was very interesting. At least we have an AWD Subaru that drives through the snow like a champ.
Well, that's pretty much all we got this week. A WEEK FROM TODAY WE GET OUR IPADS!! So stoked about that. This work is true. God is in it. I know it. Love y'all

P.s. I vow that I will find my camera cord and send pictures next week!
