August 1st

Hola
Wow I can´t believe it´s August already! This week has been pretty fantastic! Wednesday we had our interviews with President Laycock. It´s always so fantastic to see him. He really just receives revelation from God and know what each missionary needs and needs to hear. After everyone was done with their interviews and we were all about to leave. Me and the Hermanans in my sector were standing outside of the room he was interviewing in. He came out and said that he wanted all of the Hermanas in our zone to go to the temple this week. There are 8 of us in the zone and we were able to go to the temple on Friday. Oh, it was so fantastic and such a great blessing. I loved the peace and joy I felt in the temple.

Also on Friday we had an activity in our ward for the youth, it was on missionary work and the purpose was to get the youth to have more desire to serve a mission. We have quite a few that are the age to go on a mission but just haven´t yet. The activity was supposed to start at 8 and at about 8:10 there were probably 2 youth there. The hermanas and I stepped out and went and said a little prayer that people would arrive. We then went back to the room and there were about 20 people there. It was muy pero muy genial! (VERY cool). On Thursday us hermanas did divisions so I went out with Hna. Wojciechowski and Hna. Windous went with Hna. Rios. we did divisions for practically the whole day. I learned all the things I didn´t know. As in I learned how many things I don´t know but should or need to know. Hna. Wojciechowski is the most amazing missionary and I´m a little sad that I didn´t have her as my companion for longer but I am very happy for the time that I still have to learn from her.

None of our investigators are progressing. We set a baptismal date for Catalina, who is 12 years old, but we´re having a hard time getting her to church so we´re going to have to push the date back. Even though we´re not having success with investigators we had a hugh miracle this week. I´ve mentioned José and Luz in my emails before, well they came to church this week!!! They have been inactive for 25 years and we´ve been teaching them for about 2 months now, and they came to church!!! oh it was awesome! They were so happy and they brought their family (the family is active). We have cambios (transfers) coming up this coming Monday and we keep thinking about it and predicting what will happen. Vamos a ver muy pronto. (we are going to see very soon).
Bueno, ... eso.
I love you all and hope that you have a fantastic week!!
