Valerie and Christian's Baptism!


HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone! Wow, I have a lot to say, and I don`t know if I will have enough time. BULLETPOINTS!

- We MOVED. Yes, we are no longer living in the most ghetto house in the mission. I feel like I am living in an apartment in NY. It is SO NICE. It has a fireplace! And I don`t have to go outside to go to the BATHROOM! It is amazing. The elders helped us move last Tuesday. I will say, I HATE MOVING. But it was worth it.

- The downside to our beautiful house... we have no water.... I didn’t shower for about 5 days.... if we want to shower, we have to walk to our pension´s house.... it stinks... we are hoping that they will fix the pipe this week.

- We went to Sucre for a conference with Elder Waddell! It was great. I learned so much about how to be a better missionary. And I LOVE SUCRE. It is so so cool. There are literally dinosaur  statues everywhere. It is awesome. And the zone leaders always buy us these burgers for dinner that literally taste like heaven. I feel like I am in the states when I eat them. They had guacamole!

- We had 2 baptisms this past Saturday!  Valeria and Christian. Valeria is like my little sister. I love her TO DEATH. She reminds me of Kayla. Christian just turned 8. We helped reactivate his mom. He is so cool. So yeah, Saturday was a pretty great day.

- MOM! SOMEONE FOUND MY WALLET! Apparently, there have been a bunch of kids in primary taking people´s things. They are going to give it back to me tomorrow. Is there any way that you can un-cancel my card? Or have you already sent a new one? Let me know....

- EMILY BLACKHURST. I don´t know why... but I was missing you SO DANG MUCH yesterday. I don’t know what was happening to me, but I kept thinking about you. I hope you are doing awesome! I was thinking about that night before I left, and you were sing-crying on the steps. I couldn’t stop laughing hahahaha

- We have a new investigator named David Solano. He is awesome. He has 2 daughters, and his wife is a less active member. We met him by just talking to everyone on the street. He came to church with us this past Sunday in a suit and tie with is Book of Mormon in hand. That NEVER happens.... He even answered questions in Sunday School,  and as we waited for sacrament to start, he sat and read the BOM. It was so cool. He has a baptismal date for October 25. This experience has given me a testimony of talking to literally everyone that I see on the street. It is really hard, and sometimes I really don’t want to do it. But I have learned that there are people out there like David Solano waiting to hear this gospel. Plus, I am not here to do my will, but the Savior´s.

- It is my last week with Hermana Francia.. I am so sad..... I really am going to miss her. I have been with her for two transfers now, and she has made me a better missionary. We have worked so hard together.

- I am nervous for cambios... they are this Sunday. I will be with other hermanas until I find out who will be coming here, or if I will be leaving.

- So I guess you guys will find out where I am next Monday. It is highly impossible that I will be leaving Potosi. They wouldn’t want to leave the area abandoned with completely new missionaries. So I will stay one or two more transfers with this new comp and then leave. I may even train. YIKES... my comp is CONVINCED that I will train..... holy schnikeys.... I will let you know!

- So yeah... life is crazy as usual..... OH! I forgot to tell you! I haven’t worn tights all week! Yesh... it is finally getting warmer here. It is amazing. I hate those dang tights, so I am a happy camper.

I am going to send this one off. Hopefully by next Monday, we will have water again in our apartment, and I will know what I will be doing and where I will be for the next 6 weeks!

LOVE YOU
