Wow I really cant believe that is has already been another week! This week has been a really good one! The ward that we go to is actually pretty big! like 50-60 people every week in sacrament which is really nice! The members are so nice! Really they are so kind and always willing to help! We almost everyday have a member with us when we teach which is so nice! I would encourage you all to take some time and go with the members in your ward you have no idea how nice it is! We have lunch everyday with a member family also which is really nice! The food here is food kinda different but not all that bad! Also it is actually kinda of bland... I haven't had a meal yet that I didn't like which is super nice! Last week at noche de hogar... family home evening, I had a pretty cool thing happen it is amazing that during lessons and when we are talking to people how much I can understand! Haha it is still super hard but it is coming anyways after the lesson I just testified that what was said was true because even though i didn't understand all of it I could feel the spirit and the spirit is only present when truth is being taught! It was super nice!
We work a lot with our investigators..(sorry my spelling was already bad and spanish has just made it worse..) Haha anyways we have about 15 people that are investigating the church right now in our area! So we talk a lot with them! It is hard because we have like 8 that want to be baptized but can't because their parents won't let them... our mission is super successful with baptisms we have about 70 a week through out our whole mission!
The area is a lot like Utah - beautiful mountains! but it is super hot.. like 90-100 degrees everyday! We walk everywhere! We have one area that we have to take a taxi to because if not it takes like 30 min. to walk to but it is really nice! I really do like the work. The days that are hard are the days that we knock on doors when our lessons fall though and stuff just because they are super long! But most everyone we talk to is okay with listening to what we have to say for a little while... not to many doors slammed and if they are then they are really nice about it! The people here are super nice! Sometimes a little too nice to me and the other sister that is from Idaho... haha cada dia - I get whistled at.. haha and yesterday I was asked if I had a boyfriend... it is actually really funny! We just laugh about it and move on! Haha my favorite moment this week happened last week. We have been teaching this boy named Christen and he wants to get baptized but his mom won't let us so we went to talk to his mom and met his sister and asked if we could talk to her about the gospel and she was like no at first.. but we just told her how it could bless her and her family and so she said yes! We taught her the first lesson and she was so with us! After we asked her about baptism and she said yes! It is amazing what the gospel does to people! It is amazing, she is golden! I am excited to teach her again! Also haha funny we live with 2 other sisters and one is from here the other from Idaho so we talk in English a lot in the house to help them learn. Every person here thinks that if you just make the word end in "sion"... it is English.. haha it is funny but completely wrong! Haha I am doing good just having hurt feet... and i am tired! But welcome to the life of a missionary! My theme song is ¨latter day missionaries sang as they walked and walked and walked..¨haha we walk like 5 miles a day so really it is hard because I have blisters all over but it is good! Thanks for the letters feel free to send me lots more.. Haha it is really nice to hear from everyone! Love you all so much thanks for the prayers! The gospel is true and it really is amazing! Talk to you all next week!
