Angels watching over the church

Hola Familia!
     Well, yet another Monday in la gran mision. First things first, my sister is 18! I thought that was crazy to think about....she´s an adult. When I left, she was 16. It was then that I realized that you guys have changed so much. It was then that I realized that I have changed so much too, and we´ll all be shocked together. But Happy Birthday sis. I love you, and you´re one of my best friends in the world. A few things that happened this week: my comp. and I were walking down the street and we see this guy who´s skin was as white as can be, with 2 little kids. I thought, he´s got to be an english speaker right? So with stealth, I acted like I didn´t know where I was going, then asked him if he knew the name of the street we were on. He responds in english,´´I don´t have a clue.´´ I had broken the ice, and started to speak english with him. haha. He was actually visiting from Ireland! His accent was cool, and it was a relief to speak english for 2 minutes. haha. Another thing that happened was really unique. After church yesterday, we were eating. The sister that had put her name down to feed us had an emergancy and had to leave, but she brought the food to church and we just used the oven to heat it up. We were eating when everybody was almost gone. The 2nd counceler was the last person in the church besides us, and he shouted from the other side of the church,´´Elders, just lock up on that side when you´re done!´´ And left with his wife. We knew we were alone, but my comp. and I heard footsteps down the hall. Confused, we walked out of the kitchen to see who was there. We went down the one hallway that the church has and we saw nothing. We went back to the kitchen and continued to eat. We heard more footsteps and a door open, and what sounded like voices that we couldn´t understand. It didn´t sound like a language, but just a sound, but for some reason we knew it was voices. We checked again, to find nothing. I knew in that minute that the angels had arrived to protect the church. We washed our dishes and locked everything. It was an interesting experience, but I can´t deny that angels were there. We just couldn´t see them. So there´s that. Another thing was our baptism had to leave out of town for family emergancies...she´s still not back to this minute, but should come back this week sometime. We´ll get her this Sunday. Well that´s all for me this week. I love you!!
Con amor,
Elder Barton
