To all,

This last week has been pretty interesting but I´ve got to back up a little bit first. The week before last I was pretty sick but of course I didn´t tell you because I didn´t want you to worry. The doctor told me that I have an ulcer but it´s due to stress instead of my celiacs. I was in a lot of pain and in my bed a few days. Don´t worry I am doing a lot better now. President called us up on Tuesday and began to ask me about my health to make sure I was doing good. He then told us that we were having special changes and that my new companion is Hna. Verastegui (from Bolivia). Hna. Castellón and Hna. Humpries are now companions. I am now a senior companion and I feel a lot like I´m training. Hna. Verastegui is a lot happier now and loves being my companion. I love being her companion too, I just feel a whole lot more responsibility. I want to be a good example for her and teach her how the mission should be. Hna. Verastegui and I are focusing on trying to find new investigators because they really didn´t have that many. I am hoping that we can finish this change really great even though I think we´ll be together the next change too, but ya never know.

This week there were TWO baptisms. One of them was an investigator from Ñuñoa 1, Lourdes. She got baptized on Friday. I was so happy that got baptized and even happier that I could attend. It´s was such an amazing experience to hear her testimony and see the fruits of my labors in Ñuñoa. Even if she were the only one in my entire mission to be baptized it would all be worth it. She had a lot of doubts and problems a long the way but was able to gain a testimony. Her kids were able to attend her baptism and she told them in her testimony that this is just one of mom´s crazy things but that she has a testimony that it´s true.

The other baptism was on Sunday. His name is Ronald, he´s 9 years old. His mom was an inactive member but  is now active. Hna. Castellón and I taught him a little bit but then we had the changes so Hna. Castellón and Hna. Humphries finished off his teachings before the baptism.

Alright well I love you SO MUCH!! I am so grateful for all your prayers, letters, and support.
