THIS WEEKS EMAILS

MY NEW COMP FROM ARIZONA
Hola
So it sounds like you all didn't get my last email so I will give you a recap. It has now been two weeks with my new comp and it has been awesome. She is a mini mi. Seriously, even don to that fact that we both love fiber bars and reeses. Everyone day we learn one more thing that is the same like fighting for black American rights when were in high school, and always competing with the boys thinking we could take them on. We have now just taken on competing with the elders together and fighting for the lost souls of Argentina. I love my comp and feel truly blessed tho have her. She is a hard working and likes to run so we have been staying active all day. She is also kicking my butt back into shape in our workouts in the morning!
We just had the baptism of Paola Ortiz the mom of our recent convert and he baptised her. I feel bad we didn't do a very go job of instructing them on how to do the baptism and she freaked out as she went under and it scared him so it was a little bit of a mess but she walked out of the water super happy saying „i just wanted to be baptized!“
We have had a very interesting week filled with miracle after miracle. I don't have the time to write all that has happened. In just a few minutes we will be heading to lunch for the 3rd time this week with Emi (a member of 13 yrs) and her husband an investigator who has his baptism date for sat but still isnt sure. We are working super hard with him. Just yesterday we figured out a little more about him and how he struggles to love. He has lost his love for people and doesnt believe in forgiveness. But he wants an answer from God about Joseph Smith. We explained that you cannot expect God to show you his love by talking to you through the spirit if you cannot love others. His heart has been very cold for a very lone time. I am seeing now the fruits of our love affect him and the changes he has made these past two months. He said how he loved the other day when we walked past his worked and waved to him. Some people just need a little love. I hope this week we can all love a little more. Find someone who is hurting and show them the love that god has for them!
I got to roll. I love you all. Even Steven and Brandon whom i have not heard from for practically my whole mission ;) KEEP THE FAITH

ZONE CONFERENCE

Hey All! well life is good and hot here in Poza Rica, we got up to 115 on Saturday and its been past 100 since than, good ole Mexico, ya gotta love it. We had a baptism on Saturday of a girl named Natalie who was able to be baptized by her brother who is preparing to go on a mission. There has been many trials here in the ward, knowing that Satan cant stand that one single thing be done without his counterattack. But the Lord is blessing his children here and we can feel it. Time is going be quickly and its tough to believe that this week we will be talking to the family again and for the last time before I'm home. We are looking to having a really great change this change, and have put some great goals so that we can try to keep helping this ward out. One of our investigators named Laura is 8 months pregnant and should be having her baby any day now, this will definitely be a first in the mission, considering we will prolly be the ones to rush them to the hospital because of the extreme situation. She is such a strong woman and weeks ago personally gained a testimony of the divinity of the book of Mormon, and thrives to get baptized is not able to in this moment. I hope everyone is doing amazing, and keeps on fighting through the daily trials that you may have, God will truly give you the peace and power to be able to beat any temptation or trial that may come your way. I love the mission too much. It sure is hard, but every moment is worth it. i hope you all have a great week!
