New investigators, lots of contacting, really busy.

Hey everyone! Look who finally decided to write a blog letter.
Sorry to anyone who actually reads this. Its been a crazy few weeks. All weeks are crazy here in the mission, but these last few have been extra insane.

Guess we are gonna do a super quick run down of the last 2 weeks. 

Lunes October 13 was Hermana H's Birthday. We went to celebrate with my convert C and an Hermana from the ward, M. Halfway through the meal, Hna H didnt feel very well and we ended up going home to rest. We visited E, our investigator and that was all we could do that day. 

Martes 14 Was a good day except we had to climb a mountain to go eat with a member. It was quite the adventure. But we ate with all 6 of the missionaries in our ward. With the recent changes, we are now 5 from  EEUU and 1 from Bolivia. haha

Miercoles 15. Conference with the President. Halfway through Hna H got a migraine and we ended up resting most of that day too because it just wouldnt go away. I put up blankets on the windows and now our house gets REALLY dark at night.

Jueves 16. Planeacion. She got sick again. Pobrecita. we found 2 new investigators and visited some old ones. 

Viernes 17. Conferencia de Zona. Migrain but we still were able to work. 

Sabado 18 We didnt work that much. Poor thing. And the silly doctors here don't do anything. Just give her another pill that doesn't work..

Domingo 19 A few lessons. She felt better. 

Lunes 20 During our lesson with an investigator, Hna Garcia (presidentes wife) called us and said we had to be in Tijuana ya! So we ran home and packed all her stuff and went to the Central. We ended up having to wait until 7 to leave, so we got to Tijuana at 9. The president came to pick us up and we stayed the night with a Matrimonio of missionaries... I don´t know what they are called in english..sorry.

Martes 21. Met my new companion Hermana Alexander. She is from Payson Utah, has 8 months in the mission, is super funny, and a good missionary. We have had fun. We went back to the central, got there at 11:10 and were told that we would have to wait for the 1 o clock bus. We ate and walked around and at 12:55, the bus got there. We were getting ready to load when 2 women from immigration something or other came and demanded our papers. I ended up having to call the offices because we dont carry our stuff with us. They gave her what she was looking for while one of them rudely asked me questions about where exactly we live and what exactly we do here. But we ended up missing the bus and had to wait until 3 to leave...

Miercoles 22. Was a good day...ah running out of time..gotta go faster...we went to a baptism and took our investigator to help her feel better about her own baptism that is coming up.

Thursday 23. Lots of lessons.. good day. 

Viernes 24 New investigators, lots of contacting, really busy.

Sabado 25 good day. lots of lessons.

Sunday 26 Everyone called me Hermana H by accident.. not everyone, just the bishop and a new convert...mine and Hna R's convert...its fine. I'm not bitter...

Today we ate with an investigator..it was fun. Went to walmart. It was hot. Nothing much news.

Love you all. Have a great week.

Spockroach!

To prove my hair is still long.

Dear Everyone,

Hows it going? good? good.

Things here are going well. This week we found some great new investigators that accepted baptismal dates. Which means that in the transfers that are coming this week, I will for sure be leaving. haha That's how it always works.

Monday, We had water! Also we made some delicious red velvet cake to share with our investigator that has been sick.

Tuesday No water. we had our district meeting. When we went to eat, we had to wait about a million years for the sister who was giving us food. So we lost a LOT of time that we needed to find and teach. We taught one of our new investigators, who readily accepted a baptism date and is super excited to read the Book of Mormon

Wednesday Water! We spent a lot of time with a member who needs a lot of help right now. It wasn't a super eventful day. Just working walking and sweating. 

Thursday. The weirdest thing happened. The water went in the morning and came back in the afternoon! It never comes back the same day. We celebrated. We like to celebrate. This day we just had planning, and consejo and some lessons. We also discovered the Spockroach. Its a mix of a spider and cockroach. Kinda the most disgusting thing I've ever seen

Friday! WATER! Still.... Also some fun lessons, New investigators, menos activos... Good day.

Saturday! WATER!!! STILL" This is a miracle. We haven't had 3 straight days of water in over a month. Also the Conference. So it was an awesome day. Loved the second session. I loved them all, but the 2nd session I loved a lot.
What is it?
 
Sunday. WATER!!! But only in the morning. It went when we were getting ready to leave the house. BUT! It came back at night.. Yeah. 

Behind us is where our ship was docked when I came to Ensenada with my
 parents after my Senior year of High School.
Monday. Today. WATER! This is the greatest thing ever. I love having water in the house. It makes bathing, cleaning, and doing the dishes so much easier. You should all appreciate more your water. Also, today we went to Centro and walked around. Bought some Souveniers and took pictures. Just a fun last monday in Ensenada. I think that with these transfers coming up, I'll be leaving. But who knows.

Other news....Its gonna rain today..That's about all. 

Bye! Love you all!
