Great tan lines!

Some p-day fun! 

I do not understand how time goes so slow yet so fast at the same time...

Nothing too exciting happened this week...it was just weird, since it was the last week of this change. We had stake conference this weekend. On Saturday night everyone talked about missionary work...my companion was one of the speakers. I just really  hope that it helped the members realize how important missionary work is...because we need help and right now we aren't getting it. Then on Sunday we watched a broadcast from Salt Lake for all of the stakes in Central America. It was great! Elder Scott and Elder Oaks both spake, along with a couple other people. And Elder Scott gave his talk in spanish, which was SUPER weird at first. It was a really good conference though!

My companion and I recieved a tender mercy from the Lord this week. So, in the mission sometimes we have to do divisions where we are with a different missionary for a whole day. And my companion and I hate them, mostly because we get along so well and don't want to be separated. So on Tuesday we had to do divisions with the other hermanas in our district. But then we found out that we were going to have to do them again on Friday with the sister training leaders. We were not very happy because it was our last week together and we already had to do them once. And on thursday, I actually got a little sick and I was hoping that somehow I would be able to get out of doing them. But then Thursday night, they called us to cancel divisions. They said they had prayed about it and they didn't feel like they should do them...WHAT. We were so happy :)

Being a missionary is really tough. This is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done. But watching people change and come unto Christ is one of the best feelings ever! There is an inactive man here who told us that he couldn't ever come back to church and he didn't really want to talk to us. But we went to visit him last week and we met his 11 year old daughter who really wants to come to church...and now he wants to learn and come back. I LOVE IT!

Have a great week!
