When a new missionary is in
their first two transfers we call it their "12 semanas (weeks)" But
right now the running joke among the missionaries is that I'm in week 13 of
24. Jaja. Their say my mission is one eternal training. Jaja. But I have
found that I really enjoy the opportunity to train new missionaries.
That being said, week
13 did not go very well for us. It was Mexican independence day last week (I
always knew May 5th wasn't independence day but it still is kind of
hard to adjust) and I don't know if everyone went on vacation or just didn't
leave the house but the streets were empty, no one answered the door and
everyone canceled their appointments. It was brutal. Then my companion got really
discouraged when the typical new missionary blisters started. Poor thing
basically reminds me of a Disney Princess so it wasn't hard to imagine that it
would be difficult for her tiny body to handle. And our investigator who was
going to be baptized this Saturday didn't come to church so we decided to wait
until after general conference for the baptism.
But all of that aside
there we so many blessings. We received a lot of incredible references, we
couldn't meet with any of them last week because they were busy, but we went to
visit one earlier today and she is SO prepared. She accepted a baptismal date here
in a few weeks (she has already been to church varios times) and we are super
excited. And it felt nice to finally give my companion the opportunity to teach
a first lesson.
Well we're just going
to keep working hard and I'm going to stop trying to figure everything out.
Things here happen on a timetable that is not my own and I should be used to
that by now.
Que estén bien! Besos!

Here is a picture of
me with H. Bante, the other is a foto of one of the other new sisters named H
Christensen. She came up to me and said "This is really weird but I
already know you. I read your blog before I went to the MTC" Haha.
And a #tbt (even though it's Monday. If you want to wait
until Thursday to see the picture that would be fine) to when we went to the
zoo!
