Transfer 6 Week 1

HI EVERYBODY! 

Not a ton to report this week, but a few things that I hope you will all want to hear. We have been meeting with our friend Yahritza often and she has been very intensive and asks very sincere questions. She's very busy and works really hard and yet she makes time to hear from us with her full schedule. We hope that she makes time to read from the Book of Mormon as well. So far she hasn't been able to.

We also had a big meeting with all of the leadership in the mission, we talked about how we can help the missionaries, all of us, focus on moving the work forward in the future. We talked about using cars in the mission, limiting miles on them, trying to get missionaries out walking or biking on the street so that people can see us and reach out to us, which is great because here in Utah it's an oven right now hahaha. It's seriously 100 degrees or more 6 days a week. And then it'll be about 20 degrees here by October or November. But I do agree, there have been missionaries who have more success because they're out on the street talking to people more often.  

Also our roommates moved out and so now it's just my companion and I, and we have a ton of room in the fridge because they had so much food all the time. And like didn't even eat all of it, so now we have so much room, and even some empty space in it which is nice. AND we pushed together the two bunk beds and so now I sleep up on top and have a bed that's twice as big now (very exciting). And we each get our own closet, so it's been good so far; just a little quieter.                                                                       

I would like to end this email by saying that I love the Gospel and I love the opportunity that I have to help others come unto Christ and know him better. We had the opportunity to help someone to change their life and repent, and repentance is a great thing, we all need to repent everyday because we are very imperfect, and thanks to the Atonement of Christ we have the chance to do that everyday.

Funny Moment: my mom's car battery died while she was talking to me on the phone, please someone make sure she gets home ok, hahahaha!


Well love you all and I'll talk to you later, nos vemos, chao chao
