I live in an oven with a tin lid.... literally.

Nothing much has changed this week. It is still hot. LOVE IT! Jk This week was actually pretty cool. We did divisions with Teculutan Tuesday, had a multi-zone conference with Elder Duncan of the 70 on Thursday... (I had to sing.... again. I can’t sing! Stop asking me!), concilio with Elder Duncan Friday, and then we staying in the capital with Hna Jaime y Hna Benitez (FAVORTIE MISSIONARIES IN THE MISSION) We had a blast. Hna Jaime was my companion (one of the favs!) and we went on division s with them and worked in there area because we had a doctors appt Saturday. GOOD NEWS! All of the scars I have will be going away in less then one year! My skin is looking good! Punto Hermana Crouch 

We also ate taco bell! And had to put on a sweater! Thank you Guate! As you can see, they gave me the [I knew I was your favorite} packet of hot sauce..... it proves to be true! Wouldn’t you agree parents? 

Okay, the familia barillas are doing great!! Hno Daniel came to church in a white shirt and tie! We have a noche day hogar with them today! The work is great!!! We recently activated two familias and our branch is growing!! LIFE IS AWESOME!!!!

Sorry I didn’t write last week. Time is just passing so fast. 

Update: CAMBIOS! Well, They closed the Sister training leaders in Teatro 2 and moved them here! I have no idea why I am one of them but I am really happy for this chance I have to serve all the sisters in my reach. 

Okay, today I will be buying His and Her hamacas. They told me I should buy something for my future husband (ewww) and everyone one was getting sentimental.... I am buying hamacas and calling it good. General Conference talked way too much about marriage. OH! My Compa is Hermana Feik from Oregon. She goes home this change. I am killin her! We have so much fun. We are working like chuchas and are datos and everything else is showing. She is such a hard worker. I love learning from her. I loved training but it is really nice to have your companion know what they are doing. And we speak so much Spanglish, I love it! 

Happy birthday Kyle (this week) and Dylan (last week)! You guys are getting so old! Kyle I can know believe you will be turning 18!!! So big! 

The Familia Barillas are doing so great. They are truly converted. El hermano couldn’t come to church yesterday because he was working but he sent his diezmos with his wife. Hna Elsa can’t write but she is learning so she can fill out her own diezmo form. A lot of member’s don’t even keep this important commandment but they are just so willing to keep all the commandments. They have great testimonies and they are always doing visits with us. The gospel changed their life. I am so happy I got to be here to witness it. I love the mission so much. This is the Lords work. I know this message can bring peace to a familia. I have seen it in my own life and I have seen it in the lives of so many. I will never be able to put my feeling into words, but I hope you get a taste of what I am trying to say. This week we brought back three inactive familias back to church. It was a miracle and I could even believe my eyes when every familia showed up to church. Our rama is working really hard because we want a capilla. It is a struggle but I know it is possible.

Fun moment: We are getting brobes.... bro-robes. It is an elder thing... it started in my xone and now 6 elders have robes... we were invited to join this motion and be the first sister to get robes. Hashtag alwaysabro Haha I will have to send pictures next week. The mission is just so fun! 

Hna. Morales y Roll : I saw the devil child! And also did you hear the general conference talk about  the dancing? Designated dance area? What? Fatkid change, fatkid mission, fatkid life. LOVE YOU GUYS

The pictures I sent our of my area and also of me and Hna Feik trying to take a selfie and we just started laughing and couldn’t take the picture... story of our life.

I love you guys! The church is true!
