First off, I would just like to say that I have never been more sad to not be able to watch movies on a mission than I was this weekend when I could not sit down and watch Independence Day. I am fully aware it's kind of a silly movie about aliens and stuff but I just had a burning desire to watch it AND I COULDN'T! So I hope someone did for me because that would be so incredible. Yesterday for the 4th of July we really didn't do anything because it was just a normal day of pros. Hermana Real invited us over to eat some carne with her and that was a party. And then we took lots of silly pictures with these 4th of July hats she gave us. And then we watched from our apartment balcony the few fireworks that we could see. Mostly we just heard a lot of them but we did get a few really great ones! It has been incredibly hot here! Like we hit 118 one day this week and it was very uncomfortably sticky and gross.There is nothing worse than feeling like you're melting while trying to talk to people on their doorstep. So we've got a couple pics of our companionship trying not to die in the heat. But the milagro this week is that we had a lesson with some new people we found and one of their roommates was baptized in Yakima! So that was pretty cool and he basically convinced his friends to meet with us every day this week that they can. He was straight up like, "this is important and you have time so they can come." So that was pretty funny but super awesome. And Javior just totally changed his mind and was like "sure, you can come back all the time this week, just text us first." What a wild time. We're not quite sure why Miguel isn't coming to church right now but we're going to get him back and hopefully get the rest of his amigos baptized! That would be sooooooo cool! Pero, espero que todo fuera muy bien durante la semana pasada y hablamos luego!!!! Hermana Blackburn
