mama!!! holy snot...i dont even know where to start this letter. first off, I love you so much and glad that someone reads my letters other than you hahaha. and well this week was...interesting!!!

I dont even know how to talk about my week. oyah I HATE SATAN!!!! he tried EVERYTHING to..disanimar...to disanimate us. oman we had every type of trial our way. every single day was something different. OH my chacos broke haha one of them broke and well theres a member in the ward who bought me new shoes because it was thanksgiving an she wanted to do something special for us(they dont celebrate it here). But mama its incredible what happened to us this week. you woulnt even believe! i wrote it all down so il share it one day! tipo...from my shoe breaking, to not being able to work effectively, they werent home or didnt wana talk to the elder for the interview or the night before decided to not get baptized..things like that!

but the incredible thing. we baptized...actualy we had 5 people who went to church with the intent to get baptized..guess how many were baptized...1. mama, satan worked until the LAST second and im not even exaggerating. yesterday was horrible/great at the same time. the baptism was a mess. we had 4 peole in baptism clothes and 3 changed back before they were baptised..it was incredible. mama i cried..i cried alot actually. it was one of those crying from your heart kinda cries. i coulnt stop. it was the silent tears kinda thing. man it was rough!!! BUT through all these trials, i saw a lot of miracles and blessings. we were able to follow up with these families, i got new shoes(always good ;), we were able to see who we needed to, these people are prepared!, it wasnt so hot, they went to church!!!

i was reading in 3néfi where the nephites and lamanitas are battling against the gadianton robbers and the part where the curse was lifted off the lamanites. they were passing thru a ton of difficulties and trials, but among it all they were hugely blessed! i felt like that this week. that through all the hardships of this week, I was being blessed enough to keep working and make it through!!!

I love this gospel so much. the mission stresses me out, but this love i have for these people is incredible. yesterday i think i had my first conscious taste of this Christ like love for this family that didnt get baptized.

i love you so much!
give bissy a big hug for me!!!
