LAST Missionary Monday! I'll see you in like 72 hours! I love you!!! Mwah!!!

No I did not receive a letter but I will try to prepare a talk in English.....
That makes me well sad that I wont report! but whateves.
60 degrees!? I have been praying for snow! WE went to the beach today....I got really burnt. This week my ward gave me a surprise farewell but it wasn't really a surprise because my zone leader, bishop nor my comp can keep a secret! But it was super sweet! WE had a multizone conference and my last interview with president, we take preach my gospel tests and I came out in the top 3 again, president was happy and he told me to take my time getting married in my interview...that pleased me.
Most of my clothes I'm leaving here...hope that is ok?
One of my converts from my last area drove an hour to say bye to me and I was so pleased to hear she was still going to church and paying her tithing! My convert that got baptized a week ago, all week I felt like we should go visit her, so finally we did and she started crying and said she had fasted and prayed we would come by because she was secretly moving the next day because her husband who is in jail has been threatening her, so that was sad, but I was so happy to see her before she left. I know she will be okay. 
I feel content, sometimes really sad because who knows when I'll see these people again but happy to because I get to see you all and I can sleep and go to the gym...can you sign me up for a gym and can we got to a spa Friday??? would that be possible at all? I love you and I will see you soon!

10 days to go and she is still working hard!

The temple was good I will try to send pics, but the internet I'm in right now is being dumb!  My comp is a bit sad about me leaving her but I think she will be ok. I think we will have a lunch with president after changes, so I think we will pass by the mission home. I'm excited to meet the sisters at home, too! 
This week was crazy. Tuesday I went to Reu to a leader's meeting and then went to teach my first family ever in my first area. Wednesday we went to Xela to the temple. Thursday my comp was sick. Friday I did divisiones and then Saturday, we had a baptism and it was one of the best converts I have! She is great! Her testimony was wonderful!

Now known as The Curly Haired Neighbor!

I'm doing great! My week was good! Lots of little miracles, for which I'm grateful. I had some people contact me! And they were pretty positive, our investigator finally decided to get baptized this Saturday! Also a man who never ever comes into the church came to a baptism and told me would come to church my last Sunday...we'll see but I sure hope so! and another investigator started reading the Book of Mormon! We also had a stake activity where we asked members to write their testimonies and then we put a picture of them in the book and gave it back to them to give it to a friend! We showed them what they could say and how to give it to someone! I was part of the example, in the practice the elder called me the curly haired neighbor....so now the whole stake calls me that! jajaja but we gave out almost 200 books of Mormon! It was so cool! 

Oh my gosh the pictures of snow are so pretty! I hope it snows right after I get home!

I haven't heard of the EFY experience here...but that would be awesome! I love Hermana Bontempo, I always wanted to be her comp. Yes they are letting me come home, they are asking for fotos, I have my flight plans, and I go to the temple this Wednesday! And the first family I ever taught  never got baptized with me, and then my last Zone Leader got changed to that area and I told him to find them and this week the Hermanas called me and told me they are teaching this family and they want me to come and help them put a date for their baptism! I'm thrilled, I hope they accept finally! 

We had interviews this week and President apologized for not getting to know me well until the end of my mission because I was a really good missionary, it was nice to hear.

 I love you! see you soon!
