Mis Queridos :)

HI! What a wonderful week it has been. I'm so proud of Hermana West

she did it! And we ended it with a baptism. I can't think of a better

way! It was absolutely wonderful Ramber is great. The greatest news is

I already love my new companion. Her name is Hermana Spencer and she

started in Mostoles my third transfer in Alcorcon. I'm so excited for

this transfer. Still can't believe that it's my last one, but we are

ready to go! Thank you for all of the updates and pictures. Happy to

hear everyone is happy and healthy!

The baptism yesterday really was wonderful, but my favorite part was

probably what happened after. They invited us over for dinner last

night and it honestly was one of the funnest nights of my mission. We

had a great lesson and then they planned a little dispedida for my

companion and it was such a great night. He's mom still likes us which

is the biggest miracle. And Leidy wants to hear the lessons again!

She's going to be next :)

Nicole is doing great. She had work yesterday, but told her boss she

would be late and came to church anyway :) SO SAD she is going to

Peru. It's okay though she's going to do it when she gets back! Sonia

and Lenny kind of fell off the face of the earth this week which

breaks my heart... but whatever happens will be for the best I guess!

We have been praying a lot lately for Aga and decided that we need to

focus more on her and the results have been amazing. She is a pretty

big smoker and drinker and we were always a little scared to teach the

word of wisdom though. We were big brave girls though and asked her to

set a goal to start quitting. We were thinking she was going to say

maybe 10 cigarettes and 2 beers a day or something like that, but she

said 2 cigarettes a day and 0 beers. And you know the best part? She's

doing it!!! I'm so proud of her. She loves coming to church too and

just cried when Hermana West left. I know she loves our visits and

it's the best feeling.

One more new guy! We have this guy named Gerardo that we are teaching

and he has come to church for 3 weeks in a row now. I didn't tell you

about him because he works a ton and hasn't had much time to meet with

us during the week, but he comes to church and the members love him! I

would have it that way than the other way around any day. He told us

that he wants to get baptized, but we've literally only had 2 lessons

with him haha! We are excited though and praying that he likes the

commandments haha!

I think that is about it as far a the people go. I really am so

excited for the next 5 weeks i'm going to hit the ground running!

Hermana Spencer and I are the sister training leaders for our zone

still and have a meeting this week after our mission tour which should

be incredible. This week is going to be a great one. I love being a

missionary!! I wish I could express it more. I love being here with

these wonderful people. Thank you for the love and support you send my

way. I can feel your prayers! I love you and hope you have a great

week.

xo,
