Week 27 (Los Alamos, Puebla, Mexico) !Hace Calor¡ (It's HOT!)

  ¡Hola mis amigos!     Another fast and good week! For pday we didn't do much but I finally used the football my Mom sent me lol. I also had the opportunity to give a blessing to one of the new Hermana's in my district. It was very special and very spirit filled. That is pretty much all that happened pday haha.     We had another really good week for Missionary Work. This past week we found 15 new people to teach, gave out 16 Books of Mormon, invited 4 people to be baptized and all 4 accepted, we had 24 lessons 6 with members and had 11 people go to church yesterday! Safe to say we had a really good week. I am also starting to see how much my Spanish has grown, especially during lessons. I can basically understand everything and teach all the lessons. There will be times where I will misunderstand people though haha. During lunch with our Bishop, his wife asked me "Que pienso sobre el corro" I don't remember if she exactly said that but it means how do you think

  ¡Hola a todos! ¿Cómo están?     This past week went by really fast and was a really good week, quite a bit actually happened! Last pday was busyyy. We got asked by the mission President's wife to cut our hair, dry clean our suits and we still had to buy food and talk to our families. Before all of that we had to go to the offices to pick up 2 boxes of Books of Mormon which took forever but were needed. It was a good pday but we are planning on actually doing something more fun in a couple of weeks.      Missionary work this week was absolutely fantastic! We had 47 contacts, lent out 9 Books of Mormon, 9 lessons and 5 with a member present, 12 people we are teaching went to church and 1 baptism!! One of the best weeks I have had and am very excited to see if we can do even better! Yesterday was my ward's Ward Conference which was very special and probably one of the reasons why a lot of our people went to church but let's hope not lol. My comp and I also had the opportunit

  ¡Hola a todos! ¿Cómo están?     This past week went by pretty fast and was also really good. For pday last week I went to the CAPU or the bus station to drop off Elder Reyes and pick up my new comp Elder Hertzler. Luckily the Bishop in our ward was nice and gave us a ride there and back. The rest of the day we did some grocery shopping, talked with our families and had district council.      Missionary work this past week was really good. We found 6 new people to teach, contacted 45 people on the street, only gave out 7 Books of Mormon still good though, invited 10 people to be baptized and all accepted and we also had 5 people come to church! We also are supposed to have a baptism this Saturday, so I will let you all know how that goes next week!      Something really cool happened this week. Saturday we ate at a home full of non-members but their son and daughter are members. It is really cool that they like to feed the missionaries and am very grateful for their kindness. So after

  ¡Hola a todas!     Another fast week, but again not a lot happened. Last pday was probably the worst pday ever. I still felt horrible in the morning after throwing up so I just stayed in my bed all morning. I eventually got up, so we could go to the church to talk with our families. We also then went to the stake center to play fútbol and basketball but I didn't end up playing because I still felt terrible. Instead, I just took a nap lol. After pday ended we had to go to the oficinas in La Paz to have district council with the President, his wife and another zone. That was really good and I learned a lot but I still wasn't feeling good so paying attention was a little hard. Hopefully I don't have another pday like that.     This week missionary work was really good. We had 9 lessons, 82 contacts, lent out 23 Books of Mormon, found 6 new people to teach and invited 2 people to be baptized this month! The only sad thing that happened is that none of our investigators went t
