No one even commented on my tan line.... so much work for nothing.

Haha well this week was eventful but I am basically just lazy at this point and ready to go eat some tacos. We are headed to the centro to go check out some authentic mexican stuff.

This week we had our mission council again with all the leaders and it was great as usual! We made our efforts to help some other sister missionaries this week concerning problems they are having and I feel like the skills I have been developing here on my mission are really coming to serve me. It makes me even more grateful for my mission because I know they are skills that are going to help me in so many things in life. 

The Mexico City temple will be rededicated this next weekend and although we cant travel to to Mexico City, we are particpating here in our church, it being an extention of the temple. Everyone is cleaning the stake center this week and getting it ready. We all have to get recommends and everything and it should be pretty cool. All normal church services are canceled through the whole country so that we particpate ni the rededication. Saturday night is the cultural festivities which yall might be able to watch online or on BYU tv or something. We hope to be able to watch. 

The work continues and we are working hard. So much to get done and not enough time, but the Lord is blessing us. I ask for your continued prayers and thank you all for doing so because I know you already are. Love you all very very much!!

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....
