July 14, 2014 WEEEEEEKKKKK

Oh my heck. Let's just say my Christlike attributes are being tested
the most this week. Seriously. It's been rough. We found a house, but
the mission is having difficulties with the bank, so we have no
money.. so we are living in another area, and we have to travel back
and forth everyday. Some of the other hermanas really like to test my
patience and obviously I haven't learned enough to be calm about some
things... ( I BLAME THE BOERS) but seriously, it's been a bit
stressful.

The members here are really excited for us to be here! They were
takin us everywhere, showing us the area, where the other members
live, and givin us references. It was like, oooohhhhkaayyyy sweeeeet.
and they feed us a lot. Seriously I think I gained back the weight I
lost... it's awful. But so good! and its freezing here, so I think I'm
just getting prepared to come home to cold weather and it won't affect
me like it has here, I've been walkin around with a nice runny nose
and a fever from the climate change. its HORRIBLE.

We are planning for 3 baptisms by the end of the month already which
is nice, when people just go to church with out the pressure of the
missionaries. Because they can get baptized faster now! woot woot. The
branch president told us, yeah we already have investigators for you
that have been coming to church. haha ok sweet. oh, the branch
president got sustained 2 weeks ago, but he is a fireballlllll. He's so
ready to work. He's the BEST! He has been helping us out a whole lot.

I dunno, this week has just been full of ups and downs, but we keep
seeing miracles, which is nice, and the hand of the Lord here in our
area, especially with the members. it's incredible, because the elders
that worked here before, said it was really difficult, but I don't see
that, because it's not impossible, and maybe they are actually willing
and ready to work now.

Me and my comp gave talks in sacrament meeting. haha WELCOME TO OUR
BRANCH. Cool how they welcome us right. hahaha yeah I still get
nervous infront of a ton of people, but it went really well.

The people here are really different than the ones in Guanacaste, and
I miss it, but I know I am here for a reason, and I need to learn
something before I come home. So I'm just putting all my trust in the
Lord to help me, because that's all I can do. It may be difficult, but
it's not impossible, and that's how it's been for the last 15ish months,
just doing the Lords will and not mine, is a faith builder for sure!!!
The time goes by way to fast. and I've learned to make the most of
EVERY moment. I have no doubt that this is what I was suppose to do
for 18 months of my life. I know I still have 2ish months left but
before you know it, it'll be 1 left.... just letting you know!! 

I pray for y'all everyday, and I know that y'all are watched over. Love all of
you!! Thank you for your support!!
