Hola familia!!!!

Este semana yo estuve enfermo y no fue divertido.

So I am still so shocked that we can call home now, but I will still make sure to write emails to keep everyone updated!!!! You know, my fans back home and all.

This week I got sick, and that was not fun. I woke up throwing up and told my companions que yo no quería NADA pero a dormir (translation - get out, shut the door, let me sleep!).   So I slept the whole day to try and regain my strength, but I was not having it. Later, I got better, but the illness was only  slowly leaving my body. The work still goes on though and we work despite the challenges we have!

We started working more in the far part of our area which is Virgen de Socorro, where it is nothing but sand. We are starting to find more and more people over there and hopefully we can plant many seeds with the people to get more hearing about the gospel! It is kinda sad because some people say they've never seen the missionaries, so I hope we can make sure they see us more. I'm also pretty sure it is our area still, because we don't know it very well since our area is so huge. However, every time we go there we have to take these ghetto cars where there is literally a million people in this small car. I am surprised at how many people you can fit in one car. People stacked on other people, but it is better than walking for 30 minutes to get there!  Haha.

Changes are coming up this week and I find out if I remain with Elder Baque in this area, or if I go to a different area. Fingers crossed for what happens next.

I also got some awesome packages!!!!  I got candies, candles, socks, an awesome calendar with pictures of Jesus, and a cute little stuffed alligator that Grandma sent me, it was awesome!  Love you family!!!!

We also had zone conference, so that was fun. I got complimented by the president about my Spanish when he asked me a question in front of everyone, so that made me feel special. Almost 7 months here, so I hope my Spanish is good  Hahahaha.  I do love that the language is coming wayyyyy easier than at the beginning. I found that my testimony of the gospel has been growing so much and I can really share the messages that the people need at this time. I love the gospel and I love sharing it with everyone. Everyone should listen to the gospel!!!   It is so awesome!!!!    I love you guys!!!
