Sept 14

Hello hello!

Highlights of the week:
1) I was asked to translate at a health conference that was given. A doctor from the states came with his wife, how is a nurse, and she doesnt speak any spanish. She spoke to us sister missionaries and so I had to translate. First time translating for a large group and I could say it was a success! It was really really fun actually.

2)We had a zone goal this week of 100 new investigators and we fulfilled it! Hna.Murset and I fulfilled our part and found 9 of them. The zone got 110 by the end of the week.

3) I fulfilled the missionary stereotype this week and got bit by a dog. That little devil came out of no where, with no warning, and just bit me in the back of the achilles part of my foot. I wasnt evening doing anything, just walking along. No worries and no one call my mission office please, it was the first day I had worn boots in a month and I wasnt harmed. 

4) The Mexico City temple was rededicated and we got to hear the dedication. Very cool experience! I attached a picture of my comp and I outside our stake center.

5) We attended a baptism of some other elders and a lady gave a take relating enduring to the end with potty training.......... we couldnt believe our ears and couldnt stop laughing about it.

6) I have this tendency to teach outloud in my sleep. Its something my comps have gotten used to but I will like straight up being teaching lessons, but last night my companion particpated with me. She was also asleep. We had a giggle fest at 2am when we both came to our senses. She was like "I was positive I was holding a hymn book!" Took us a while to get back to sleep and we laughed about it all morning. Talk about companion unity! Hahah

7) This is the last day of the transfer and news came in! Hna.Murset and I are staying here in Zarco, which we expected, but we got a little surprise. We have a new companion, Hna.Cano. We will be in a trio. Lucky sister, she will be having a baptism this next Saturday haha. 

Welp. Thats the news folks! I have a question though... What kind of things do yall want from Mexico? I am planning on starting to get Christmas presents. There are lots of stuff, but some ideas or tshirts, mexican blouses or dresses, sarapes (Saltillo is known for these but there are kind of expensive), belts, keychains, mexican hoodie type thingys, plates, wallets, bags, etc. 

LOVE YOU ALL

The other picture is all of us sisters here in the city of Saltillo (not in the whole mission, although its like three fourths), which are the sisterse that Hna.Murset and I are "in charge" of. This was at that health conference. The lady on the far left is the american that I translated for.

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....
