Well Hello family!
Haha, you guys sent me so many emails, I dont have as much time to write now! haha dont worry though, it was awesome to hear from you guys! So this week was pretty good. We had my second baptism since I got here! His name is Rodrigo Maese. He is such a champ. He quit smoking, and changed a lot of other habits to get to baptism. It helps that he has had such amazing support from the ward here too. He is really an inspiration to me, and I am so glad I got to work with him. Our only baptismal date right now is Sylvia Sifuentes. She is also doing really well. She always asks a ton of questions, and she is making so many wonderful changes in her life. Also, we got a new ward mission leader this week! He (Bro. Pena) is really a great guy, and he is ready to start getting a lot of things done. As far as Elder Bishop and I go, things are slowly getting better, and I think he is starting to pull out of his rut. We are definitely starting to have a better time. We have actually been working on spanish more lately, and I'm starting to get a lot more confident. Haha, you will like this dad, we have a less active family in our ward that the mom is Chilean. So she made us some amazing chilean food! She talks really really fast though. Oh! so I finally got your package last Thursday!!! It made me very happy. The chocolate had all melted, but it all stayed in the packaging so all was well. It was great to get a little something from home, and I loved the Tie you sent! I actually wore it to Rodrigo's baptism. (sorry I dont have pictures yet, I forgot to bring my camera to email. Next week!) It was a very nice baptism with a lot of people, and elder Bishop and I sang a musical number too. I really do think my testimony has been growing, especially as I read the BOM and try to apply what I learn in my teaching. I have definitely had some struggles lately with my companion, but I have been able to keep a positive attitude, which has helped a lot. I definitely think the mission life is changing me, even though I still miss things like the Avengers or CArrie Underwoods new CD. sigh. haha oh well, I have now just replaced those things with even better things right? Anyways, I just want to let you guys know that I really am doing well, and I am starting to enjoy the mission even more! Oh by the way Miranda, I did get your postcard, and I LOVEd reading about your experiences is SAN FRANCISCO. It reminded me a lot of my first tour in Seattle. Way fun! I liked the pictures too, even though I didnt really recognize many of your friends. Well, I hope to write more letters soon as well, but until then, adios!
