5 Months

5 MONTHS in the MISSION!  Wow!  These last 5 months have been something else haha!  For sure they have been the hardest 5 months of my life!  Harder than any football or lacrosse game or conditioning test I have ever had and for sure harder than any test or class I have taken in school.... but man, have these last 5 months been so rewarding!  At times, it has felt sooooo slow haha but looking back it has gone by fast! 

This past week we had a baptizime! Johana!  She has been investigating the church for 10 years and 2 weeks ago she was married and this last Saturday she was baptized and confirmed a member in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!  How awesome is that!  Think about all the great missionaries who have taught her and finally she was baptized!  It was such a great experience!  The Familia Garcia has yet to come to church and it is killing me but all you can do is have faith and keep inviting them.  We do have 2 baptisms scheduled for next Saturday!  A 9 year old boy named Mateo - his Grandpa is a member.  And another boy named Pier who is 15!  Hopefully these can follow through and happen! 

Spanish is still killer haha.  Yes, kids who have just gotten out to the mission can speak better Spanish than me haha!  I try my best not to compare but it is so hard not to do that! lol  I just have to keep working hard! 

Thanks for all the love and emails!  Miss you all so much! (and America haha)

Hope all is well!
