Fua. This has been a hard week. Or better said, this is a hard area. 

But no importa. Honestly, Im not really sure with where to start with this email. I could complain about how all of our appointments fell through this week, about how we just walked and walked and walked and how everyone rejected us. Or about how our numbers were awful this week. About how Jose Antonio pratically broke our hearts.. But Im not going to. 

Okay I lied, Im actually going to explain that last one. So we met with Jose and the first thing he said to us is, "Chicas, I have something to tell you but I dont know how to say it" Ouch. So he starts off by reminding us about how his interest started in the church because his ex girlfriend (who hes still completely in love with) is a member. And then as he investigated he gained his own testimony and all that good stuff. And then he told us how he feels like hes been reading and praying and doing everything for us. How he feels like he reads just so he can tell us about it, and how lately, nothing is sticking out to him. Hes not feeling anything. Then he asked for about a week or two alone to do everything because he wants to figure out if hes doing it really because he has a testimony or for us. So that was just really hard. And then he didnt come to church yesterday. Even harder. 

BUT. On a more happier note, we got to church yesterday and were introduced to a man named Jose Luis. He recently got married and his wife is inactive. They came up to us and pretty much just said "hi! I want to be baptized!" Fau. So we set an appoinment with him for that night he accepted a baptism date. Hes set to be baptized on April 3rd :)))))))))))))))))))))))))) MILAGROS. 

Honestly just when we finished a super hard week and were so ready top just give up, God gave us a miracle. He blessed us so much. 

Then we got to go eat american food with 2 american senior couples so that was a highlight.

I still havent been sleeping that much, but I dont even care because God is blessing us with SO MUCH. 

Im just really happy and really thankful for the opportunity God has given me to serve Him. Like Ive said a million times, its hard. But so so so worth it. Im especially thankful for the people God has put in my life. From my companion, my awesome zone leaders and district leader, President, to my investigators and converts, the members, or even the people we talk to once on the street, every single person has taught me something. I feel like this transfer has given me a lot of opportunities to change who I am. To improve personally. And Im really thankful for it. I feel like Ive changed a lot. Im still no where near where I need to be, but with the Atonement and the support I get from everyone along the way, Im getting there :) 

I love you all! Happy Easter!!!!!!

Love,
