I didn’t think Id be writing but here I am!!

Okay 11 September was the craziest day!! I spent Karter birthday having the biggest food fight I have ever been in. So we had a Group BBQ/ goodbye party thing. We had like 50 people show up. We laughed and ate and played games in a place called El Sitio (where the monkey is) And then the night started to wind down.. it was only us and the Familia Agustin and the Elders. They brought out a cake and the tradition is that the person has to bite in and then if you are loved you get your head smashed in it.... I felt pretty loved. I pulled a, [Hey look over there!!!¨ and then bit the cake real quick... but then everyone thought I should end up with cake on my face. Then the cake war started. EVERYONE was covered in cake. Then we have extra tomato and eggs... gross I know. But then someone wanted to take picture of us all gross so I went over (trusting them) and as they took the picture I got three gallons of tamarindo juice on me. We went home so gross but it was so fun. 

Then Saturday we had an activity in Ipala with all the Hermanas. That was cool!!

Sunday: BEST DAY EVER. The primary did so good. I was amazed about how wonderful it was. Then Hna Bertha (our convert) bore her testimony and I almost cried. She is a rock. These people here have to go through the refinners fire real early. It is hard to be a member here because the church is so newo San Luis. I then gave a talk and I almost cried again. We had the highest church attendance that I have ever seen here. People that haven’t been to church in the longest time came because their son was in the program. We also met some of the actives that where baptized in Ipala 15 years ago about 2 months ago. We have become really close to them and they came to church again!! Everything was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better day. I wish you could have been there to see. 

All my suitcases are packed... with cantaros ahaha I received like 20 of them. Dad, you will need to put up a shelf in my room to hold them all!  

I LOVE YOU GUYS!! The mission is the best!! The church is true!! See you en two... days!!
