Well, after much tribulation comes the crown of glory, let me just say that. Wow, what a week filled with ups and downs and all sorts of adventures. My companion and I still don't get along great, but I am going to apply chapter six of Preach my Gospel and hope for the best.
This is the last week of the change, and well, I will be going into my 11 change of 16...Wow, weird. These past few weeks have been killer hard for me and my companion. However, we still work hard, we are still obedient, and we trusted in the Lord to help us get baptisms.
We had two beautiful baptisms. One was named Javier and the other Alejandra. The both of them are from part-member families. They both just love the gospel and Javier wants to be a missionary! It made me so happy. Also, as a district leader our district had over 9 baptisms for the month!!! It was so exciting, the whole mission baptized over 100 in one week!!! Also Epic stuff. I know I don;t include much about
the investigators, but we have a lot. Honestly, can't name them all or tell all of their stories. Just one is really looking good and his name is Raul. He wants to change his life for the better. He works in a store and wants to go to church and even get baptized but his jefe, (can't remember the word) won't let him go to church because she is Catholic and doesn't approve.

It was sad but he has such a strong desire to keep going and growing in the gospel. He loved the first lesson and just kept on saying that is so true. I hope he can convince his boss (that's the word! haha!) to let him come and be part of it.
It is exciting to hear about how Dad gave an awesome talk. He has helped me a lot with council on what I should do as a missionary. I still love the quote he gave: prayer is always the answer. I have had some fun times with that quote in helping me receive the revelation I need for my district. Especially
this change. I have loved and hated this change--so hard but so rewarding.
