Hey!!

So first things first....they say birthdays on the mission are the best....and I can testify that that's true!! It was the best birthday I've ever had! I'm not even kidding.  After emailing last week, we went over to Ofelia and Jesse's house.  THey're members (young newly weds) who just moved into the ward...love them..they are awesome.  We just chatted with Ofelia and decided to go to the mall.  Which is only my 2nd time my whole mission I've been somewhere other than walmart hahaha.  So we just went to walk around and we walked past some shoe store and they had TOM shoes displayed. OFelia and Jesse LOVE TOM shoe's and they ask us if we have any.  "Nope" is our response. Then before we could object he asks the worker for a pair for each of us. What??? Yes...they bought each of us TOM shoes.  I bought black ones because I don't have any black shoes (weird I know).  Then they took us out to coldstone...I haven't had that in over a year too haha.  Then we went to dinner with Amber and her family (our recent converts). And she made my favorite!! Carne asada!! So gooood. And they got me a tres leches cake :) I'll send pics next week.  Then they bought us necklaces to remember them.  Then we went to Hna. Melendez (a peruvian lady in the branch) because she invited us over for "torta" because it was her birthday too.  So we show up and she gives me my own torta so I was stuck with two cakes now. But they were dang good!  Then on our way home we get a random text from President Maynes saying "Congratulations on a greek week last week!" and we asked "what do you mean?" and he says "I just looked at the weekly report, you two are doing great week after week!" Haha awesome! What a compliment. He didn't even know it was my birthday but it definitely made my night.  My recent converts from Denver even called me to wish me a happy birthday! I loved it. Best birthday/pday ever. I wish I had more time to write but we gotta go to dinner with our investigator. I love you all! Que Dios les bendiga ;)
