"Why do they have plaques?! Because they´re craaazies..."‏

This week flew by. And I know I promised I would write a lot more because I was super lame last week but I don't have like ANYTHING to say. So I'll just write and see what comes out. (sorry in advance..)

Let's seee. We finally got to see Jose Antonio again this week. We´ve only been able to see him MAYBE once a week because he works and started school which sucks for us because he´s like one of our best friends haha but anyway. The reason he got interested in the gospel was because of a girl he was dating. She´s LDS, and they broke up but he's still completely in love with her. So he thought that if he became Mormon she would date him again. Well, he decided to investigate and ended up gaining a testimony. He LOVES the gospel. But this week we met with him and he told us he needs THREE WEEKS alone. Because he´s going to talk to this girl and either date again or officially end it. He´s pretty sure it's going to end, and told us he needs time to make sure he´s doing this because he really wants to. I'm not really worried though because he´s already done something like this and it was fine. Just a little annoyed. I just want to slap him and make him see that he already knows but as I'm a missionary... I can't. 

Jose Luis was confirmed yesterday and bore his testimony. It was the most SWEET and SINCERE testimony. Of the undiscribeable (...indiscribable...? Whatever. English) happiness that he felt. It was super cool. 

We also did divisions this week. Hermana Olivares came from La Boca. We had so much fun. She started her mission in Palermo so it was fun for her to see her converts and everything. We got lost a lot but it was super fun.

Other than that I can't really think about anything else that happened to be honest. This week went by super fast. This is the last week of this 8 week transfer. I remember when we found out it was going to be 8 weeks I cried insde. Because I thought it was going to be SO long. But it was the fastest transfer I´ve had. Maybe because I love my comp, and my area. Maybe because I finally am able to say I love the mission. That doesn't mean that I don't still have days or weeks even where it's hard and I don't completely want to be here. But if it really came down to it, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I´ve learned a lot about myself this transfer. About my weaknesses and about who I need to become. I hit 7 months the other day. I'm finally starting to find my personality. It´s been super hard to be myself in Spanish and in a different culture, but it´s finally starting to come! Por fin. 

Anyway. That´s about it. I love you all and I hope you´ve had an awesome week and have an even better one this week! I have a TON of pictures to send but.. this stupid computer isnt letting me do it. :( Next week I guess... I LOVE YOU!

Love,
Hermana Prestwich
