Happy Birthday to me!
I¨m gonna be 22?? what?? weird...

We didn´t have cambios! I am still with Hna. Larsen in Guaracal! We were so shocked when we found out. WE have a lot of challenges but we are happy we get to stay. ... FYI transfers are every 6 weeks. So we have at least 5 weeks more since 1 week has already gone by. Hna. Harman that was in our house went to my last area, la cañada and is companions with hna. Castro. She will have 6 months in that area. Hna. Broome is now companions with hna. Ortiz. Hna. Ortiz trained her and now they are back together. CAmbios are funny sometimes.

Thanks so much for your encouraging words. ...investigators come and go really fast sometimes...We didn´t see Cokie or her daughter Dirse this week, unfortunately. We called Dirse on saturday night and we think she was in a bar or out dancing or something. I heard music and then she hung up on me. So don´t think she is living the word of wisdom. Melgars did come to church! But the mom didn´t stay all 3 hrs.

Alejandra and her mom Aida came to church on sunday! For gospel principles we watched the restoration video (1st vision), the spirit was super strong in the room, and they are going to pray to know if Joseph smith was a prophet. Some of the members knew alejandra from high school and university so that was good to find out.

A lady named Jersey accepted a baptism date for 2 july. She is really great, has a lot of faith, she is looking to find peace in her life, she told us that she gets angry often and doesn´t want to be that way, her husband is out of work and her 17 year old son´s girlfriend who is also 17 just had a baby... they are both still in high school.

Have I ever told you about the familia Tamés?? They are less active but they are so fun. We go there when we are tired at night and just talk and talk. They live in a 1 room humble brick house. The mom is single and has 2 teenage sons and 1 teenage daughter. The mom, victoria has a really strong testimony, she was baptized as a kid and all her family are members, most are inactive too though. She wants to go to the temple and she wants her 19 yr old son to go on a mission, but she wants him to have the desire to go.


The mission is so hard but i am learning a lot and really learning how to rely on the lord. The Lord really wants me to be humble and patient in this time I feel. We have so many goals that we want to make and we are always making plans. It is so exhausting. My shoe inserts are great :) but my feet still hurt every day when i come home. i go to bed every night exhausted.


Sorry not much time to write, trying to get these photos to upload but it doesn´t want to cooperate very well. Thanks for your prayers and letters and the packages.
