| Hey, don't need to post this picture, I was just trying to get a good picture of my hair so you guys could see. I love it so much. You can't really tell, but its a lot more blond than it looks. |

One of my greatest joys of being with Hermana Guardado is
she knows all the Disney songs in Spanish. ahha We just sing all the time. That’s
why my subject line is that....
We had a really great week, still haven’t really found any
new investigators which is hard... BUT we are going to have 2 baptisms this Saturday!!!!
Cristobal, the son of Maria, and Rocio, the aunt of one of our other recent
converts, Karen. Both are from part member families! We are sooo stoked especially
because Cristobal is 12 years old so he can get the priesthood!!! He is so
smart. It’s not like he is just being baptized because his mom was. She asked
him the other day, “I want to know what you think about all this because by
being baptized you’re going to be different than the other kids, you will have
different standards and you’re going to be made fun of” and he said “I know mom
but I also know that it’s the right thing!!!” He is totally going on a mission
someday, haha I love him!
Sunday was so beautiful. The whole gospel principles class
was filled with our recent converts and soon to be converts and investigators. I
just felt so blessed! But the work here is really hard. Sometimes we go a whole
day and only teach 3 or 4 lessons. When I was in Cornol I would teach like 7 lessons
every day. We always had at least 5 contacts a day and here we barely ever have
2. It’s hard, but I know that it’s just a test to see if we will keep working
even though we aren’t having tons of success. By that I mean new investigators,
but we have faith and I think everything is going to work out. I’m getting kind
of nervous because this is the last full week of this transfer. Next Wednesday
is transfers and I will be in charge of this area ahhhhh. Ok, I’m not going to
think about that.
Maria had been begging to get her fingers in my hair, she is
a hairstylist. I finally agreed. This week we colored and cut my hair, which
was really hard for me, I feel like my hair is so short! It doesn’t look like
it but I can tell. I think she cut a good 3.5 in. but I actually love it so
much! She is really good that’s the only reason I agreed. Then she wanted to do
it for free. That woman gives away everything. You can’t tell her you like
something because you will leave with it. The other day I said I liked her
scarf, its mine now haha. But I didn’t let her do my hair for free. I know that
the color isn’t cheap and she only uses really nice product....
Another random fact. We don’t have nearly as many cockroaches
here as we did in my last house, but they are like 10 times bigger. I think the
others were just babies. Anyways sometimes we wake up to 1 or 2 dead on the
ground, or so I thought, but I guess they were just flipped over and then my
comp would smush them. I didn’t know this, so today I was cleaning and I began
to sweep one of the dead bodies away that had been sitting there since
yesterday morning and it hopped up and scampered off. I was sooo freaked out
hahah and screaming and Hermana Guardado was like “what are you doing sweeping
it up?” ahha I thought it was dead!!!! Apparently they get flipped over and
then can’t flip back, I don’t know, but it was really freaky.
Everything is really great with me. My comp is still having
lots of medical problems, her problems with her back are making her kind of
cranky ahah and causing other pains in her body but hopefully they can help her
this week. It’s been a week of taking this medication so now that it’s not
working she will have to go to the doctor, I hope. It’s so hard not being able
to help her when she is just crying in pain.... but other than that we are just
working hard in our little part of Villa Elisa!!!
whaooooo
I love you all so much!!!
