Week 26: 6 MONTHS TOMORROW!!!

3-24-14

Hola Familia y Amigas,
So happy half birthday to Amelia tomorrow!  Ahhahah I only have a year left!! That is so crazy!! It doesn´t make since at all in my brain.  It feels like I am about 1/5th of the way through my mission, not 1/3rd.  I am going to be home in no time!!  AHhh!
Also Monica from my old sector was baptized this past week, and I think Leonardo was baptized on Saturday and I think Valentina is going to be baptized this upcoming Saturday as well!! We are also planning on a baptism of Maria, the grandma, and Elibeth, the granddaughter this weekend!!! We are so excited for them!  And Elibets mom Janella wants to get baptized too but she has to wait for the divorce papers before getting remarried again.  This family is awesome and has so much faith!!!! They are so great!  Also we had 7 investigators in church yesterday and 3 recent converts.  For only having 55 people total in the branch yesterday, they are 1/5th of the branch! haha  It is just so awesome to see the progress!  And I don´t feel like it is even me doing it.  I cannot take the credit at all!  It is all the Lords work and these people are just amazing and it is their time to accept the gospel!  They have been prepared!
So dad has been telling me about how the missionary work is progressing so much in Manassas and also in the Spanish Branch! That is so awesome!  And it makes me so proud that you guys are doing your part to share the gospel with your friends and neighbors.  Sometimes I feel like the biggest work I am doing on the mission and biggest change I am making is with you guys back home!! You guys have sent me so many little missionary experiences you have had!  I just love it so much and it just makes me so happy!!!!
So a little more about Hermana Phelps.  She looks and has the mannerisms of Carly and Mary Blodgett combined.  It freaks me out sometimes. And she talks and laughs like my roommate Courtnee.  This freaks me out even more!!!  She is so hilarious, and I love her and we just crack jokes all of the time and teach in unity and are just really good friends.  She is the best and I love her even more because she even thinks I am funny!  Or she might just be laughing at me not with me, who knows? haha
Wow I can´t believe it is still snowing there!! That is crazy!!! Here it is starting to cool down; Bulnes is hotter than Villa Acero, so still having really nice autumn days, like today!! But I know it is going to get really cold and rainy here soon!! 

Well I love you guys so much! You guys are so great! Keep writing me!
Heidi and Amber I want to know the updates on the weddings!
Abby and Logan, I want to know how my niece and nephew are doing and of course you guys too!

And of course for the rest of you I want to know anything that you are willing to tell me!!
