Hello hello,

There isnt too much to report this week, just still chugging a long. I feel good about the work we did this last week and the Lord definitely is helping us. Alicia is still progressing well and is excited for her baptism on the 12th of September!! 

One cool experience from this past week was when we were just walking down the street and we passed this guy who basically started at us, and usually we kind of avoid those kind haha, I decided to turn around and contact him. His name is Luis Alejandro and he is a father of 3 boys (has a wife but they arent married) and he only has one leg. He walks EVERYWHERE, but on crutches. Anyways, we contacted him and he was super nice and accepted to have us pass by his house and teach. He was waiting for us when we went the next day and accepted to be baptized within a few weeks.... whoaaaa... he asked us to write down the requirements we had read in Dyc 20 verse 37 so that he could study it. He also committed to go to church. I was actually on splits in another part of Saltillo this day so I didnt really get a feel for it, but Hna.murset was excited but just said we would see if he actually went to church. Sunday comes around and we were focused on alicia and another invesitador who went to church, so we werent even thinking about him. But when we get to the church, there he is sitting on the curb waiting for us! He said he came to tell us he didnt think he could keep listening because another brother from a different church was also visiting his family and he told him to stop listening to us. Hna.murset was like "well you are already here, how about you just come in for the first our as a trial". He readily agreed and accompanied us for sacrament. He seemed to enjoy it and agreed to have us visit later in the afternoon.
When we passed by we taught his whole family and after some discussion they decided that they will try out our church instead of the one they are currently going to because what will it hurt. His wife was super cool and was like "look Luis, you havent ever paid ANY attention to the other brother until these two missionaries showed up... its for a reason! and you walked all the way to the church this morning, leaving a 730 to get there on time!". She doesnt seem AS intereted as him, but she IS interested in him listening to us. Hes a super alcoholic and they all want him to stop drinking. 

Love you all!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! (in Mexico.. clearly)

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! (in Mexico.. clearly) Well what a week... it unfortunately was not very successful... haha but because I took a suprise trip to Saltillo in the middle of the week.... ALONE!!! We were studying one morning and I was getting all pumped to get out and start working and I was feeling good and we had great plans for the day when all of a sudden the mission office calls and told me I had to take care of stuff for my Visa and come to Saltillo.. in like 2 hours. So yeah, and they sent me alone. So this week I conquered the fear of traveling through Mexico as an American muchacha who is still learning spanish... alone. But hey, I did it, and nothing bad happened. And I even got to Saltillo and got a taxi and traveled through the city and made phone calls (in spanish thank you) and got things taken care of. BAM! Clearly they trust me or something because apparently that never happens (sending a sister without her companion... none the less a American ne...

Travelling Sister

I dont really know how to start my letters anymore cause I always say the same thing haha... entonces... Hola Family!! Mmm not too much to report. Just working and trying to stay awake in the lessons in this heat. Haha mostly exaggerating but after lunch in this heat... listening to someone tell you a really long story... it gets hard, ya know? I only work about half the time in my own area now. We go on splits twice a week and the are each for about a day and a half so it gets kind of crazy sometimes. I have been leaving to work in the other sister´s area every time because I still dont know our own area well enough to direct it with someone how does know it at all, so I have basically been a traveling missionary. I love working with Hna. Walsh and we are a good team, just sad we are only together like half the time haha. But its been a good experience to get to know other sisters and try to help them improve and find what is keeping them from having more success.  A...

Rosi & Fransisco

Hello hello!! This week we saw our new investigators, Rosi and Fransisco  on Monday  night and challenged them to be baptized with a specific date. They.... turned it down... hahaha but only because its for like a week from now. They have to have 5 weeks in church before they can be baptized, but they already had a few in the states, so we went ahead and challenged them. They said they want to be baptized, but they want to learn more first and everything and 2 weeks didnt seem sufficient haha. I couldnt blame them. We didnt get to seem them again during the week (they are VERY busy for an elderly couple) and unfortunately they didnt make it to church  on Sunday  which was basically devestating, right? But we passed by in the evening to see why they didnt go, and they werent home. Their adult son greeted us and let us know that they suddenly had to take a trip to Monterrey and he was their caring for their house. So we´ll see whats up. But they are super cute....
