| Busy, crazy, exhausting, awesome week! |
Wow - what a
freakin' week! I feel like I just need
to go sit and do nothing but stare at a wall for 24 hours, then I will feel like
myself again! This training thing is EXHAUSTING!! For all of you who are
like "Wow that's awesome that you are training, you must be so great at
speaking Spanish", ya'll are wrong!! I'm still trying to figure out what happened
when President assigned ME to train...but hey, we are gonna make this work and
baptize the world:)
Training itself is exhausting; calling everyone (which I already had a phobia of in English..)
setting up all the citas, leading all the lessons, remembering everyone's
names, problems, and schedules, and then throw in being asked to talk on Sunday!
I'm barely holding my brain in my head
right now!! I legitimately feel like I've had to grow up 10 years all in 2
days. (Deep breath) I will thank Heavenly Father for this opportunity one
day.

| Introducing...Hermana Limon! |
But on
the plus side my new comp is super cool! Her
name is Hermana Limon. She's from Colorado
Springs and she speaks pretty awesome Spanish - which I am so grateful
for. But right now I still teach pretty
much everything. But hey guess what?... I
hate blog bragging, but we made top 8 again in the mission! And that's like a
HUGE deal, since it was my first week organizing and teaching everything, so
that definitely gives me hope.
Hermana
Limon has only been a member for a little over a year. Her conversion
story is sooo cool! She was hard core Catholic then met the missionaries and
all this other stuff that I don't know if she wants me to tell the world, but
pretty much like the situation of half the people we teach. So I'm pretty pumped to watch her testimony help
our work! And guess what? It
already is! Our family (the Martinez)
have the most solid baptism date that there has ever been! I know I've said this before, but right now I
have no doubt that they will get baptized on October 4th. We took this family (Condes, love them!) who
also used to be super Catholic to have a bbq with them, and afterwards our
lesson just turned into this awesome testimony session. I asked the dad if he still feels like baptism
is just something in the future and he said "no un dia mas pronto"
eeeeeeepppp!! (and this is after he said he prayed about it) So we set the date
for Oct 4th! PRAY FOR THEM!
In other
news I have officially lost 12 pounds since the MTC! Woot woot!!
Of course, I did gain like 8 pounds on Nutella there...but still:) All I do is eat fruits and veggies. No joke - zucchini, yams, bananas, and blue
berries are my favorite foods now. Hna Black
introduced me to some amazingly delicious health foods! Haha - Grandma and I are going to get along so
good when I get back! Nutrition is
fascinating to me.

I don't have
too much more time, because my dearly beloved daughter took 2 and half hours
buying groceries...oh I remember the good ole greenie days...so ya, pretty much
I have no time. But I love all of you! La
iglesia es verdadera!:)
Love Hermana
