Dear family,

I'm glad you got the pictures from Hermana Ponce. She is an active member that we work with a lot because she's going through a really rough time right now. She's a sweetheart and takes good care of us. In the pictures we are about to eat some pan dulce, so basically bread with lots of sugar on top. That specific one we were eating is called a concha. It's super delicious. Usually you eat them with hot chocolate or milk or coffee if you aren't Mormon. :) I would suggest hot chocolate. But the good Mexican kind. Don't worry, I'll bring some home. :) Probably not the bread, because it would get stale. We'll just have to ask the Finkenthals where a good panaderia is. :) Or I'll just go to the Mexican stores. they'll probably have it. :)

That's so crazy that Bryce is leaving in two and a half weeks! and shortly after that I'll be starting my second to last transfer. Crazy! It's so weird how fast time flies. Bryce, the mission will the the longest, hardest, but shortest thing you have ever done. That sounds really weird, but I'm serious. Days are long, but the weeks and months and transfers FLY by. You'll be so exhausted, but you won't want to trade it for the world. And then at the end of your time, you'll wish you had more. Trust me. So just live it up from the first minute. Enjoy EVERYTHING! 

I'm super excited to come home and help you with those sealings! It will be super fun. I'll just live in the temple my first week home. Sound good? We'll do all the names you can find, and then go home and find more! I'm excited. I miss being able to go to the temple all the time. 

This week has been full of miracles AGAIN! Wow, this area is amazing. So I was all stressed out this week because Amada and Bernardo are now members, so the problem of "what do we do now?" arouse. But only for a second, because we know we just have to go find. But sometimes it's stressful! But we were do blessed for our diligence. I was on exchanges up in Menlo Park on Thursday, and Hermana GG and another sister went and stopped by Adriana's house. Adriana is a recently re-activated member that introduced Amada and Bernardo to the gospel. She lives with the father (Andres) of her two girls, who is not a member. They are planning on getting married in November (hopefully we can push that up). So Andres has not really been interested in learning more. We've taught him a couple times, and the last time we went we thought that there was no potential there. That he was completely uninterested, and that we needed to give him some time. But, on Thursday when Hermana GG stopped by, he was there. And he was a totally different person. He brought out chairs for them, smiled, was happy, and told them he was planning on coming to church on Sunday, because he asked for Sundays off. They only had time to talk him for a minute, but then on Sunday he showed up to church, and was a COMPLETELY different person. He was happy, and he really enjoyed it! Then Sunday night we talked to him more, and taught him the restoration. He was really interested, had a smile on his face the whole time, and said that he wants to gain a testimony of his own. He wants to know for himself. He accepted a baptismal invitation, and is going to pray about a date. It was a miracle. He is completely changed. The Lord really does soften people's hearts and has prepared people to receive the gospel. It was such a testimony building experience. 

Thanks for all the support and love you give. I love you all, and I pray for you all the time. I hope you have a fantastic week. Love you!

Love,

Hermana Bingham

Amada gave us ice cream, and 10 year old Nicole topped it with a cheezit. Yum

Drove past FB headquarters while in Menlo Park on exchanges. No big deal.
