Hello! 

This week flew by as well. Not sure what's going on with the time. 

But anyway. This week was good! A little hard, but good!

We started a spiritual fast with our district this week to help us be more focused on the work. My comp and I set goals, and I'm trying to not talk about anything that's not gospel related, and things like that. We also set goal and punishments for if we dont acheive those goals. One of those punishments that if no one accepts a baptisimal date that day, we have to sleep on the floor that night. Let me just tell you that we´ve slept on the floor 6 out of the past 7 nights. My back hates me. 

But this week a member gave us a reference, so we went to visit him. We taught him and his wife the first lesson, and they both accepted baptism. And then I asked how many people are in his family, and he said 12. 12 PEOPLE. What a miracle. The only thing is that he works on Sundays, and its hard to go to church. They have to go at least 3 times before they can be baptized, so we're going to work on that with them. 

As for that, nothing else really happened. Saturday was the hottest day I think we´ve had here and I literally thought I was going to die. then yesterday we got caught in a huge rainstorm. 

Thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday! Yesterday was great, but I refuse to admit I'm 20. Haha. The members here are great though and made sure I felt special being so far from home. 

My comp and I have been waking up at 5:30 to have an extra hour of study time to specifically study about Christ. It's been a little hard and we´ve wimped out and a few times we just slept until 6:30, but the times we have done it are so worth it. I've been reading Jesus the Christ and it is so awesome. I have learned so much about Christ and His life and purpose here on earth. Just this past week my testimony of Christ and His mission on earth has grown so much. The love He has for each one of us as individuals is incredible and frankly almost impossible to comprehend. At least for me. But I am so thankful for Him and His sacrifice for us. That He loves us so much as to give His own life that we may live with Him again. A scripture that I´ve come to love lately is Enos 1:27. Its reads: And I soon go to the place of my rest, which is with my Redeemer; for I know that in him I shall rest. And I rejoice in the day when my mortal shall put on immortality, and shall stand before him; then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed, there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father. Amen.

This is the goal. To arrive one day and to see the face of Christ with pleasure, and for Him to tell me that there is a place prepared for me in Heaven. In order for this to happen, there are things we need to do on earth. That´s why we´re here, to prepare to meet God.

I love you all!

A picture of me with one of the cakes I had. (yes, I'm wearing pink for like the first time in my life. That's because my other shirt was covered in flour, because when its your birthday here, they throw flour on you. It also rained shortly after, and I still have dough plastered to my scalp :))))))) )

Feliz Cumpleanos!
