This week was a really good week because we got to work a lot!! The week before we had a million other things to do and didnt get to teach and work like we normally would, so it was great to have a full week. I felt the Spirit work with us both as a companionship and it really inspired the lessons and we feel that our investigadors felt it too.. so yay!! What more can you ask for? 

Basically I am too lazy to talk explain stories and experiences cause its just the day to day kind of thing now. Is there anything yall would like to know about? 

Some fun stuff I guess. Last monday night we had a family night with some investigadors and they gave us a huge clay mug filled with water from whats called a jarra, which is basically just this huge clay jug or pot thing. It supposedly is really delicious (or so they say) but the minute they left Hna. Walsh and I alone and went inside for a second (we were outside at a table), Hna. Walsh was like "this water is disgusting and we cant drink it anyways.. it makes us sick. I{ll distract them and you go dump it out" hahaha so I casually took the huge mug and walked over to the bushes.. keeping look out the whole time for them to come out.. and dumped the whole thing out. We put it back on the table and when the came out we just smiled that it was the greatest thing we had had. Haha just those typical foreign mission things you hear about so I thought yould all like to know it happens to me too.

Plus killing giant running cockroaches (sp?) is basically the daily wake up ritual and killing mosquitos in your hands. 

Oh and thank goodness I am not up in the north right now cause its 113 degrees today in Rostia. Brings back memories from a year ago when I started my mission there.... hahaha. But I shouldnt jinx myself.. transfers are next week...

Quick quote from a talk by Brad Wilcox that talks about grace. It says "Fulfilling Christ´s requirements is like paying a morgage instead of rent or like making desposits in a savings account instead of paying off debt. You still have to hand it over every month, but it is for a totally different reason." Cool perspective, huh? Think about what you are doing with your "money". Investing it or just paying it cause it has to be done?

LOVE YOU ALL
Have a good week

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...

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....
