The kids are already back to school! This summer went by so fast! GUESS WHAT!!!! Yesterday marks 8 months since I entered into the MTC! Time has gone by so fast!!!!!!!!!!! 8 Months!!!!!!!!!! It makes me so happy to hear about the temple and all the work you guys are doing!! I am super excited about Cindy too, that is super awesome and so great!!!!!! 

So this is the last week of this transfer period! That went by so fast! My companion, Hermana Pérez most likely has transfers, because she has been here for 6 months!!! Imagine being in an area for 6 months! I can't. But that is how the mission goes sometimes. Hermana Ganchozo, one of the Hermanas who we share a ward with, she was in her past two areas for 6 months. That's a whole year in two areas! But she is really great, really diligent and super strong spiritually. There are a lot of great missionaries around me and it is great to learn from their example! 

We had a zone activity today and it was super fun! We started off by playing scripture charades and it was great. My team had the story of Abinadi and I was King Noah, I even had a throne. The best one though was a group of Elders doing the story of when the priests of King Noah abducted the daughters of the Lamanites. Two elders were dancing, and the other two were creeping up behind chairs and abducted them, it was ridiculously hilarious, hahahahaha. It was seriously the best!! Later we ate cake because it was Elder Nielson's birthday and then afterward we played volleyball and it was super fun! 

We had some great lessons this past week, we started teaching somebody who had listened to missionaries before but lost contact with them because of her husband, but now we are teaching her and her two daughters whom are super cute. And yesterday we stopped by to visit one of our investigators who we haven't seen in a while and she was super open, the last time we taught her, she didn't understand that well and she talked a lot. But yesterday it was really interesting because this lesson was way different and I felt the Spirit, it was a great lesson and a turn around to perspective we had of her.

 It is so great when you get to teach people who understand the gospel, it just feels good when you are a tool of the Spirit, and through us, other people can learn to identify and understand the Spirit. 

Missionary work is so great.
I am glad everything is going well at home! 

Good luck in this next school year kids!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you all!!!!!!!!
