"Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It's all about the memories."

- Buddy Valastro

Today I turned 19. It sure is strange. I can’t believe it. I feel old. I am having a great time out here today. We had a zone activity where they all remembered my birthday, and they bought me a little thing of cake. Then, after about an hour when we made lunch, they all did the real tradition of Chile... they make you into a cake. They throw flour and eggs (thankfully we are all poor missionaries and nobody had money for eggs). But it was great! 

This week we had a night where we had a talent show, and the elder who signed us up for it forgot until the night before. We had to prepare something really quick! So we took a music video from the glorious song from "Meet the Mormons." It’s from a group called Elenyi who sing it in Spanish, and it was awesome. We just decided to lip sync it, and it was really fun! We had a great time in front of the ward as we made it a fun night. It was even better as we were able to have investigators come, and we had members who were having a hard time coming who all came. We were also able to have all kinds of partial member families come. They had a great time with us!

It truly was a week of miracles. I loved all that happened this week. Thank you all for supporting me, and I love you all.
