Hi Everyone!
 

So this week has been good but very stressful... its good for me though. We are teaching tons of people in our zone, we have the most investigators haha. We have more dates for baptism in our district and we get calls from the district asking how in the world are you doing so good?? I am just like, I have no idea, its not us it is all God's work. We are just here helping duh. We have 2 kids getting baptized which I am so excited about, they are so smart and I love them. They read the Book of Mormon 30 mins a day and pray too. They are Matty and Tyler's age, I want the best for them so much. They live in a bad area which scares me almost everyday, there parents want to move and I don't blame them. They have so many shootings and gangs there. One time we went there to teach and we were walking across the street and this black car passed us and its hecka dark. We couldn't see in and then he backs up to us and we are like great we are going to get shot or kidnap... Well it ended up being a cop and he said did you hear gun shots? Did you just get here? And we were like what?? He said you need to get in to a house because there has been shootings going on. We were like ummmm okay.. Yeah we ran to our lesson as fast as we can haha. But the kids will be baptized this Saturday which I am so happy for, they are so ready.
 

We are teaching this other family who are awesome, they like fell out of the sky. We were looking for someone and my companion walked up this drive way to see if this house was it. A girl came out and said can I help you? We said oh we are just looking for someone but we end up teaching her instead and gave her a Book of Mormon. She has been reading it and we have been teaching her and her husband and they are so ready for this in their lives. We don't know how God put us there but he needed us at that time in that area to find her and teach her. She said she has been praying for something and then here you are, you helped me find what I was missing. My companion and I were like wow! It is amazing how people are so ready to hear the gospel.
 

Then we are teaching some other people and it has been crazy. They either think I am there baby or honey and I am like NO I AM NOT! Gosh it sucks sometimes being a girl! I was trying to set a time to see this guy to teach him and he was flirting with me. He said what are you going to bring me?? I said the gospel because you seem like you need it right now! I keep telling myself they are God's children and to love them, I just get done getting hit on by old guys.
 

My companion and I are good, the only thing that gets hard is that we are soooooooooo alike that we butt heads and if one is angry with the other one we don't talk about it. It sucks for me because I have to act like the adult and say okay we need to talk about this because I know she wont bring it up. We need to because if we don't the spirit is not there and it drives me crazy. But so far we are doing good.
 

Transfers is on the 29th, I will let you know what happens. Oh by the way things have changed here, I have big news! I will be taking over my facebook again but only for mission work here. They told us we will be getting ipads and that we need to teach people on the internet so just so you know not to go on my facebook anymore.
 

I have been good for the most part, I got a bad cold and its getting worse which sucks. I am dealing with it hoping I get better soon. Yes I did get the stickers, I loved them thank you!! 
 

I love you all and hope you are all doing good. I will write you more next week and that you will see more of me because I will be writing a lot on facebook about  mission work everyday. Okay love you bye!

Hi Family and Friends!
 

So this week has been good, a little boring haha. But we had a great week, we taught so many great people. The ones getting baptized, when we went to teach them the lesson was amazing. It went so well, we taught the gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit was so strong in that room. You can tell they all felt it. The kids who are getting baptize know so much and I am grateful I get to see Gods hands in their lives. The older brother gave a prayer in the end and me and my companion started tearing up because it was so heart felt. He is so ready to be baptized. We have been teaching tons of new people, we are hoping they will start progressing soon. I never thought I could feel this great love for people I just met but I do. I am so filled with God's love for his children, its so hard to hold it in. I cry at night for them, I am pleading for God to help them and to not give up on them. I want them happy, I want them to take this gift God has for them. I know even though I have about 7 months left, even if its hard and days I don't even want to get out of bed I do because I know God needs me here. I need to be what he needs me to be.
 

My companion and I are doing way better haha. For 2 days we kinda wanted to kill each other but we are both alive so that's good. We talked it out and we are soo close, I never have been close to a companion like this before, its nice. We have become best friends. She is amazing and I love working with her. The only reason we get done with each other is because we are twins, we are the same person haha. We love each other and we have each others backs because we don't let anyone mess with the other one which is good.
 

But other then that I am good,
see I have a smile on my face :D I love you all and hope you are all well take care love you!!

Hi Everyone!!

This week has been crazy fun. We have been very busy with trying to find more people to teach so that has been our focus. We have been tracting and trying to contact people. Some areas are sketchy but hey we are alive so we are good, no worries I promise. My companion and I have been working hard. We are both independent and opinionated so we bump heads together but it is just fun and jokes. We really get along which I enjoy, we have been good for each other. She used to play rugby so I fell in love with it. When I get home I am going to join RUGBY! I am excited for it! She has helped me a lot to relax because I was having one of those days. There have been crazy storms here but we were at the apartment and she said lets go outside. I said no, there is a storm! She said come on, so I went with her. But then she ran in the storm with pjs on and jumping around and dancing, I think she is crazy at this point. But she comes to me and said you need to learn how to dance in the rain sometimes. She was dead right, we had tons of fun in the rain running around! We had huge lighting and thunder going on and we were soaked but we loved it. She was right about learning to dance in the rain, I have been so busy and just working. I have not been enjoying any of it because how I have been feeling. It made me think about trials and how they are not desirable or easy but they help us and either we can be miserable in them and be bitter or we can enjoy life and learn from our hardship and let it change us for the better. So that is what I been doing now.

 

I did enjoy General Conference! I loved Jefferey R. Hollands talk, President Eryings talk and Russel M. Nelsons talk, they were so good, they helped me a lot. Our Investigators came to one session which was awesome, they loved it. We were watching it once though during Saturday and a huge storm came and the signal was gone. I freaked out because I was missing my favorite talk so we ran outside, got soaked and went to the Mission Presidents house. We asked if we could finish watching it at their house, thankfully they let us in We were so wet but they let us in anyways. We got to finish it there and I was happy! No weather is taking General Conference away from me!

But other then that this week we just been teaching tons of great people and trying to find people to teach. I sent you a package so let me know if you get it please! I hope you did! I love you all and hope you are all doing good and I miss you all and will write you more next week!!
