Pensamientos espirituales for este semana* (*spiritual thoughts for this week): “Be not afraid, only believe” by Uchtdorf, “There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of.” – Hamlet, DyC 58:27.

Week 11: The Week I got Alva Addicted to Mentos

Fantastic week- it went simultaneously quite rapido y lento! Raro. Pero bien.:)* (*fast and slow! Rare. But well.) Last Monday was a very long day.
