Hola familia! Còmo estàs?
Well this week has been crazy! But what else is new? So, Friday we went with our district leader to visit the Barrera family and I was surprised she let us in! Anyway he worked his magic and got her to commit to read the Book of Mormon! He was super bold and direct and said things I would never say to an investigator, some things she didn`t take too well! haha but in the end it all worked out and she is reading a little bit! They didn't come to church yesterday because it was Father`s Day and they went to visit her Dad in Ibarra, I think. But there is still hope for them! Well, there is always hope but now there is more!
And last Saturday we found a family, I don`t know if I told you, the Yèpes family. His sister and her husband got baptized about 4 months ago with our zone leaders. Anyway they were there last Saturday in the lesson and it went really well but they didn`t accept a date. They couldn`t see us during the week so we went back on Saturday and one of the first things she asked was what do they have to do to prepare for baptism!!!! The best question any investigator can ask!! So we taught them and the accepted a date for July 9th!! WOO HOO!! Finally, a family!! I`m so so excited!! haha So keep them in your prayers please that they can make their goal!! They came to church on Sunday! We didn`t think they were going to come because we they weren`t where we said we were going to
meet them. But they came! After the sacrament, so they didn`t get to see that, but at least they came!
And Tania, Roberto, Gabriela, and their cousin came to church too! We are having a little problem getting them to get permission from their parents to be baptized, so keep them in your prayers too please! We are being so blessed with people to teach and I am so grateful!
The other shocking news is that Hermana Garcia got changed and I am going to be training! A North American! Wow. I am still kind of in shock! I really don`t know what to say about it right now.. I`ve only been senior comanion for 2 weeks!! What in the world do I know about training someone? But it will be fun! And I may have no idea what I am doing but I know the Lord will be helping me! And all of your prayers! I know I couldn't do anything without them and without the help of the Lord! I remember when I first got here, my trainer had 9 months, and I remember thinking, how would it be to have 9 months? And now I have been here 9 months and I am going to be training and I can`t believe it! I don`t know where the time went! I am staying with Hermana Rodgers tonight, because the new missionaries aren`t coming until tomorrow, and it feels like just yesterday that I was here in this sector with her! She is going to be moving houses tomorrow so I`m so happy I got to come back one last time and re-live those days! I can`t believe how fast time goes by! Anyway, sorry for my rambling, my mind is still spinning! But I love you all and thank you so much for everything that you do for me!
I love this gospel and I love being a missionary! This rollercoaster with the Barrera`s has made me realize that even more! I love these people and I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve here!
Have a great week!!

Love forever and always,
Hermana Nelson
