Snowball Fight! (And an intro to Cinthya)

I don't know that I've mentioned anything about Cinthya yet. When Josh was in Mexico on his mission he spent a lot of time with the Lopez family in one of his areas. Fernando was the mission leader so they worked a lot together. They had 2 kids that Josh got to know pretty well, one of which was a little 4 yr old girl named Cinthya. 8 yrs ago they came for conference and stayed with Josh's parents in their Sandy home. It was fun for all of us to get to know them. Fast forward to October when they drove up here from Mexico to go to conference and drop off their now 18 yr old daughter Cinthya. She stayed with a Mexican family in Provo for a month or two, but needed a change bc the main reason she was here was to learn English and that wasn't going very well in a home of Spanish speakers. So Fernando asked if we could take her in and we agreed immediately! She moved in with us over Thanksgiving and has already been so much fun to have around. The kids absolutely love her! She loves playing with them and I love having her around too! She will be here until the end of March while she continues to learn English and get ready for a mission!

I heard some yelling and when I looked outside I saw Cinthya and Brynlee engaged in a pretty fun snowball fight. They were running all over the yard having a blast!
