Don´t look at me she gets it from YOUR side of the family!


Oh you know just.... chillin around. 
Its been way too hot lately 



We're sneaky little rugrats haha. "Its like dejavu.... like like I've been here before"  "Its like dejavu.... like like I've been here before" 

First of all, my little button la Hermana Diaz is now on her way hommmeeeeee to Chile! Wow i'm gonna miss her. I can't tell y'all how good of friends we were. I feel so stinking grateful, because every single one of my compañeras has been my dear friend, and every single one has taught me something else that I really needed to learn. Hermana Whitney, from the MTC, was always so incredibly willing to submit to the will of the Lord, despite her circumstances She is a true believer of the Gospel and her faith leads her. Hermana Jimenez, my trainer and mi ¨mama" of the mission taught me how to take care of myself and hold my own and trust in the Lord, despite what anyone said. We learned a lot about the Atonement together. Hermana Toala taught me so much about teaching with power, authority and love. She also really taught me how to have fun in the mission and still be efficient :) Hermana Diaz taught me so much about how to be patient, not only in my circumstances but with the people we taught. She never lost her patience and love for the people and led by quiet example. 

And now, my NEW COMPANION! Hermana Ostler :) We are already such great friends! We are SUPER alike. 2 blondies with a love of awkward moments. She reminds me so much of Courtney Baldwin its crazy haha she's just the cutest little thing and SO sweet! She has a military family so she's lived in all sorts of parts of the world,  and has 5 months in the mission. We already see a problem with us 2 blondes together. In the train on the way back from the Transfer meeting, a drunk guy sat by us and started talking to us haha and we didnt have a clue what he was saying but we just smiled and talked to him about the gospel. Then another guy was talking to the Elders and he saw us and came up to us started saying how beautiful we were. Like angels haha he wanted us to write his name in the Book of Life for him haha! But we're going to have to be real careful cause especially at this time of the year there are a ton of drunks always in the streets and blondes are very rare... They always try to talk to us.. (Love you mom) :) So we're off to a really interesting, awkward start! :) 


Cute little thing :) 



Famlia Perez :) Gotta love them! 



just a little bit of mosquito bites .... NO BIG DEAL! 



REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! 
 Our investigators are going good. Lucy and Manuel still have doubts so we moved their baptismal date. Mayra and Manuel are ready except they need to quit smoking. Their down to 1 cigarrette a day. We helped them make a new goal of not focusing on HOW MUCH they were smoking a day but instead to make the goal of saying a prayer every time they felt like smoking. They promised to try that this week :) Their wedding is this weekend! 

Elder Flake and I switched our nametags for a bit! Nobody even noticed hahaha!  I'm officially Elder Flake.

I love the mission. I love being so close to my Savior and my Heavenly Father. I missed you all a lot this week, but I love the promises in D&C 31 to every missionary's family. I know the Lord watches over each one of you and blesses you. Miss you mucho!
