Hey hey hey! This week has aged me 20 years Ill start with the biggest news which was we had transfers last week! And because my mission president has a vendetta against me he took away my favorite person and stuck her in my favorite place. Hna barker went to simi valley, im still in SLO and im training kinda. My companion is Hermana Nielson! Shes been a missionary for a little over 6 months but has been a spanish missionary for 3 days. She opened her transfer email and got the news that she would be switching to spanish and im the one to train her.

My favorite part was the huge hug she gave us after it was so filled with love - learned how to make bread!! Its been our obsession lately and im not working out enough to justify eating so much of it but its sooo good and we made the texas road house honey butter and oh my gosh game over - we had...

Sorry just practicing my mixteco  This'll probably be the most random filled email you'll read but oh well have fun This week was pretty good pretty good!  - We had an amazing lesson with our friends hector and jose! We couldn't get inside the church building so we just sat on the steps outside and the spirit was SO STRONG!!! they were filled with wonder and had so many good questions!  - Our friend Paula accepted a baptism date! We weren't planning to extend one but the espíritu santo had other plans!  - We teach this pretty old lady whos a recent convert of about 2 years once a week and we thought we were gonna teach a quick easy post baptism lesson about WoW, tithing, fast offerings but as soon as we started talking about WoW she informed us she hadn't been living it. But she was like genuinely really surprised some things were apart of the WoW that she was ...
