Hi family!! I'm so happy the internet is working again!!! I l love getting your emails!! It sounds like you had a great time at the beach!! I'm glad no one got bitten by a shark. Are you all pro surfers now? I can`t believe school already started! Summer went by fast!! Not gonna lie I do not miss the heat of summer! I think I am going to die when I get home! Send me pictures of your vacation!
Well this week flew by.. as usual! It's still crazy to me how fast the time is going by. The work here is a lot slower and it's a lot harder to teach and find people. I'm not sure why - maybe because it takes forever to get from one place to another - so I am still trying to get used to not being able to do as much. I have been feeling like a terrible missionary because I felt like I wasn't fulfilling my purpose. But the Lord knows why I am here and what is going to happen. I am just going to try even harder to do all I can. Right now we only have two kids with dates. Madelene is going to be baptized this weekend! She is so excited! Sunday was her birthday so we had pizza and cake! Our zone is really united so we always go as a zone to visit people with dates or people that need support. So we went to visit Madelene as a zone! It's fun! We also have a 10 year old boy - Alejandro - with a date for August 27th, he didn`t come to church but some of his family are members so he has a lot of support!
We have zone conference this Friday and we are going to do a special musical number - I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus - so we have been practicing all week. It still needs a lot of work..... Hopefully it sounds okay. We are going to be with 4 other zones so everyone is nervous that it won't sound good! haha
We found a family on Tuesday!! Leila and Luis. She is Caholic and He is Christian. She said she never lets anyone in but she let us in!! WOO HOO!! They haven't accepted a date yet but they will soon! We watched The Testaments with them and he was crying! I love that movie! So keep them in your prayers please!
I love this gospel! Every day I think how grateful I am to have the gospel to give my life meaning. I can't describe it but it just is a feeling of fullness and amazement. I really don't know how people can live life without it. But that is what missionary work is for!! I love it!! There is really no other way to be truly happy without living the gospel. Thank you for everything you have taught me and for all of your love and support!!
Happy Birthday Ellie!!!!! I love you!! I hope you have a great day!!! xoxoxXo

Love forever and always,
