Kinda Crazy

Hey guys this week was super awesome we had an activity this week for all the spanish families to help them get to know each other better and to celebrate valentine's day. So we spent this whole week getting to know the families and inviting them to the activity.  Also something else super cool is back in Nogales in September me and Elder Ocampo got a referral from someone named Gabby because she saw an ad on Facebook and so she signed up and got referred to us so we called her and had a few lessons over the phone with her while she was in the Hospital in Tucson.
