Hola Familia!

So fun to hear from you this week. I know I sound like a broken

record, but I seriously love mondays! You guys are the best. I am

currently writing from... Toledo! We came here as a zone for p-day,

and I am staying for 24 hours to do an intercambio with Hermana Finch.

Could it get any better?! I love her and I love Toledo. We had an

awesome week this week in Barrio 3 filled with lots of miracles with

our new friends.

First off- Lourdes. Oh she is my miracle! We met with her this week to

go over lesson one and she literally recited the first vision with

us... Who does that?! She is so prepared. She expressed some concerns

about her husband because he doesn't believe in God at all, but we

explained how we have the gospel to bless our families not to make

things worse. We're hoping and praying that all goes well with that.

She really is amazing though!

Calixto is also doing really well. We were able to meet with him at a

members house this week and he still continues to have no problems! He

loves everything we are teaching and has desires to be baptized, he

just is waiting to receive his answer. He is doing his part though,

and I have no doubt it will happen soon!

We had a huge miracle with Nemesio this week. He is very spaniard and

sometimes it's a little hard to have the spirit in our lessons, but he

was so calm this week. He expressed doubts about Joseph Smith and

tithing, but said that when he receives answers to those doubts he

wants to get baptized. These three are the most progressing right now

and we really are just walking by faith! The Lord has done His part,

we are trying our hardest to do ours, and now it is up to them.

Praying hard for these three! Elena and Ramber are still doing well :)

Just waiting for December!

We also have 2 new investigators that I wanted to tell you about. The

first one is Marcos. He is from Argentina and from the beginning he

told us he is just around to get to know the mormon culture better.

But he absolutely loves church and loves the lessons we have. I have a

lot of faith that something in him might change! We also taught this

guy named Danny this week. We contacted him my first week here and he

wanted nothing to do with us, we didn't even get his number. We gave

him our card though and 4 weeks later we got a call! That NEVER

happens! We taught lesson 1 and it went really well. I am excited!

I got to go on two intercambios this week and they were both awesome.

I stayed here in Barrio 3 for both. One was with Hermana Valencia and

she is such a great missionary. She is from Chicago, but her parents

are from mexico so she speaks perfect spanish and I learned so much

with her. The other was with Hermana Shurtz and that is one of the

funniest sisters I have ever met! She has the sweetest testimony too

it was so fun to get to know her. I feel so blessed to serve with such

great Hermanas!

I think that is about it. I didn't eat anything too weird this week,

but a bird did poop on my companion this week while we were contacting

a spanish man and that just about made my week haha!! Also seeing my

people from Alcorcon was the greatest. I am doing good :) Very happy

to be a missionary! We had interviews this week and I still just feel

so blessed to have the Packs. The Lord takes care of his missionaries!

Thank you so much for all the love and support you send my way. I love

you and hope you have a great week!
