Villas 7/25

These are all the sister missionaries in our house...each of us from a different country. 

Picture below is from a zone conference last week--I'm the one in the green shirt standing up.

Below is a foto of a group of us missionaries touring Queretaro.

(Regarding a question about whether she spoke English to other missionaries)::

We normally speak spanish even to the Americans....but sometimes we end up speaking in english...its fun sometimes to just start speaking them both and understanding everything...and it helps with my english...which is horrible rightnow.  But, especially with the hermanas and elderes that are learning spanish we dont speak english with them unless its to help them say something better...but, we have rules and they need to speak spanish. so do we...we think we know the language but, there is still so much that we could say so much better! 

ALSO!! guess what happened this week! on 22nd of July this week, I completed exactly 1 year in the mission!...ORALES!!! we celebrated...but dont worry...didnt burn any skirts. also our investigator had a baby. I might have mentioned that last week not sure, I will send you a pic of him! Also, Esme...didnt get baptized...because someone passed away in her family and she had to go to Nuevo Leon...she gets back on Wednesday and will be baptized on Sunday.  Actually alot has happend alot of pèople or family members passing away...3 this week, nobody I know family members of our investigators so its been a rough week for all.  but, it can be an opportunity to draw nearer to our Heavenly Father.  But, enough with the sadness, a good part about this week was that we were able to give alot of service, and I bought an umbrella so I hope I want get so wet when it rains, and I wont get so sunburned during the day! ALSO! almost got bit by a stray dog in the street 3 just came out of no where and started chasing after us we started runiing so fast! jajaja it was actually kind of funny. and dont worry, we got away safe and sound. BUt, one of the best things that happened this week, was we were visiting a recent convert, Ana Laura, she has been super strong this past year as a member going to church every week with her little 2 year old boy Emiliano, and her husband also a recent convert, just stopped and has been super object to the entire church...we would just tell her to keep doing what she needed to and Things would turn around and they did!!! her husband came to sacrament meeting this sunday!! and they are starting to pray together and their entire relationship has changed, and honestly all of it has to do with the patience and diligence of this hermana.  So it was great to see them as a family in church, and I hope to see things continue progressing. We have transfers next sunday...lets see what happens..honestly I have no idea...I have 6months in Villas, but its looking like I might not be changed...we will see!

CON MUCHO AMOR
