When I say:

1. I will never hand wash again!!!

2. It literally cannot get any hotter then it is right now

But hey! This is the mission!!

We had entrevistas con Presidente yesterday so we are having P-day today!! 

I might as well just have named this letter: Familia Barillas. They are a familia so close to my heart. This week we went with them to collect leña! I will send pictures! We had to cross a river... I don’t know how apostate that is but we told President about it and he didn’t say anything. We also had a noche de hogar with them in a house of a member yesterday. The mom shared with us that she was getting ready to leave her family but then we started visiting them and it changed everything. I have never seen such a great change in a whole family. Their faces even look different. They are getting really excited for their baptism on the 28th.

This week we found 17 new investigators}s and put 3 new fechas. The work is going great. It stresses me out every once in a while but that is a good thing!!

I also killed our fish. I cant be in charge of pets. We have.... had... a fish in our pila but I took him out so I could hand wash and then I forgot about him for two days and it was so hot all of the water evaporated and he died.   

At interviews yesterday we talked about the difference between a testimony and conversion. A lot a people have a testimony that don’t go to church. But that is the difference between them. I am so thankful for this opportunity to serve a mission. Never again will I have the chance to study and learn more about Christ. This is my job for 18 months. I know it isn’t a commandment for girls to go a missions but I would highly recommend it. A testimony is great, but it isn’t enough. We need to be always working on our personal conversion. Aun mas in the time that we are living in. This week I challenge you read the talk by David A Bednar Converted unto the Lord. It is great!!
