This week was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better its crazy! I am feeling so good. I almost forgot what it was like to laugh. My new companion has reminded me. We have laughed so much this week. But we are also working. So that's awesome. Its kinda a new feeling. haha. The members have noticed a big change. We have one convert that's 13 years old and his mom is an investigator. When my other companion was here, he told his mom that when I leave, he doesn't want the missionaries to come anymore because he didn't like my companion. But don't worry. That's changed now!

Monday I spent all day in a bus. On the way back to Ensenada, we watched Monsters University. It was awesome. We laughed so hard.
Tuesday we had to clean, shop, and unpack, but still managed to have some lessons.

| Half Way There! |
Wednesday we had a Training with the Hermanas in Relief Society on how to share the gospel. It went really well I think. They all took folletos and Libros de Mormon to give to friends. Also, it was a very special day. FELIZ CUMPLEANOS to my Hermosa Hermana!!! Also, I completed 9 months in the mission, so that's weird...We ate Oreo cheesecake that my companion made. It was super delicious.

| Nine Down Nine To GO! |
Thursday was planning. Went really well. Set some goals that will be challenging but I know that we can do it!
Friday we made up for a lot of lost time. Found some awesome new investigators, and had a lot of lessons.
Saturday we walked a lot and didn't find very many people in their houses. But it's okay.
Sunday. No one came to church. Even though we confirmed with everyone Saturday night and Sunday morning. :( Oh well. This week will be better. Found another new investigator. Also we talked to a guy that told us some weird things about Joseph Smith and how he and the pope had a disagreement and Joseph Smith took the names of some important people (namely Noah's wife) out of the bible. I think he was a little drunk...
This week has been awesome. I am seriously so happy again. Its so crazy how even when one companion is working super hard, if the other one doesn't have the Spirit, there is no way to have success. I kind of felt like i was dying as a missionary. I was still working hard, but lost a lot of hope in having success. It was very frustrating. But now, we are gonna see milagros! I am so excited. She almost died the day that I told her I watched Dr. Who before the mission. Then she showed me her Tardis socks. haha. The next day, when she mentioned Brian Regan, I quoted one of his sketches and she quoted everything that he's ever said. haha we were laughing so hard. It's been so great. Today we ate fries for lunch and she didn't look at me weird when I made fry sauce. haha.
Thank you so much to everyone who has been praying for me. I know the Lord answers prayers. He knows us and loves us. Love you all! So much!
