Really not much special happened this week. There wasnt much progress in our area,or with our investigators, and we are kind of struggling to find new people to teach... pero ya vamos. Not every week can be fantastic.

Today we packed up our whole house and are moving out! The owner is selling her house so we found a new one and we are lucky enough to get to do allllll the packing and moving haha. Good stuff. 

Um yep. Haha. 

Oh, mom asked about Alicia´s family. Her husband left her like 10 years ago and so hes not in the picture. We are teaching one of her son´s though (hes like 40 something) and he super great, we will just see how he progresses. He has a lot of potential. Lety, her daughter, doesnt need to be baptized due to her illness, but shes also active and very loved in the ward already. And one other daughter we taught once, but she hasnt been home since. She didnt have much interest though anyways.

I am superrrrr excited for general conference this weekend. We listened to the women´s session on saturday and I loved it as well. The biggest thing that stood out to me was a quote by....the sister who has blonde hair and looks younger than the rest hahaah....she said: "This life is about preparing to meet God, not to recieve all blessings."

Given the things I have learned here in the mission and the conversion I have gained, that means something much more profound to me. We will recieve blessings here, yes, but that is NOT the purpose. It is to prepare to meet God. I invite you all (yes I am a missionary) to reflect on the perspective you have for this life. Are you waiting on the blessings... or are you preparing?

Con amor,
Hermana Roberts

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....
