this week we were able to find success even though the both of us were pretty sick! We are heathy now and ready to start the week of hot! We had a baptism this week of an hermana in the ward who reminds me so much of my beautiful little sister! The church lost her baptism record so we had to do it over again. There are 3 men with preisthood in that family but none were found worthy to perform the ordinance so this hermanita chose me! The spirirt was sooo very strong!
This week I have been thinking alot about how much i have changed in just a few short months. I remember going into the field ready to baptize every person i saw haha i was so caught up in numbers and not the people themzelves. i have come to the conclusion that ut honestly doesnet matter how many baptisms i have it matters how many converts i have. i have made a goal to baptize those who are actually converted to the Jesus Christ and his church and not just us as missionarys. The Area just made the requirments for baptism alittle higher so its gonna be harder to baptize but many more converts will be made.
i want you all to know how much i love you and love my lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He has given me so very many blessings in my life and 2 years wouldnt even begin to pay him back for what he has done for me. i love you all so much and wish the best for you all this week! LOVE YOU!

Mom,
Need not worry haha i am 100% better than i was1 We are both suffering from la gripe or the cold and its been hard to really put our foot to the pedal sometimes but were doing it! Ive been really trying to eat alot moer food and find all the tiendas that sell the good stuff for cheap! Its working and im staying pretty healthy! this week we had a couple of trainings on health and one was a multizona! We learned so much and are starting to put it in practice! We started running in the mornings to wich makes us wake up and have efficent studies!! yah there are a ton of storys hear that have to do with the Book of Mormon but one thing the branch presidency in the CCM told us was that we should not try to use anything to prove the Book of Mormon. El Libro de Mormon proves itself! But yes i hear alot of stories :) I had no idea it was thanksgiving this week so that about explains the holidy situacion haha and so far i dont know of any besides Senor de Los Milagros. Its the last 15 days of october and first 15 of november where the people all get together in the street and dress in purple to honor jesus christ. The make floats that are full of apostacy haha i have grown to really despise the catholic church. there leaders are prety wicked! GO AGGIES GO AGGIES HEY HEY HEY, why did you tell me about YBU? im gonna be stressing now every day haha whatever happens happens but if we lose im coming home from the mission. ;) Just kidding nothing can pull me out of here! So Glad to hear about my friends! They are all super awesome and righteos! Mashae has written me just about every week of my mission! Kayla is awesome! She has such a great spirit! Let me know when hayden and her get married ok? I want to be the first to hear about it! the work is progressing and we are finding new people to work with! church attendance is still an isue and the Area just amped up the requirements for baptism so its gonna be alittle harder but im glad they did that! I have come to a conclusion about the numbers and will explain it in my weekly email. Love you sooooooo much mom! Not a day goes by i dont think about the familia!
LES AMO!!
