Pictures or the week!

Como Les Va A Todos

Como Les Va A Todos!!

thank you all you all for your love and support and for your kind words for these last few weeks of my mission! but i dont really see it as the end of my mission. i more see it of a start to my mission. we this week i dont have much time, but i do want to send some pictures. this week i went to merida to interview some investigators for baptism. she was such a great and amazing women! that was thursday, and also for some of you who know, and it is what i figured out last year too, but apparently us americans, always think that mexicans celebrate a ton for the 5 de Mayo, which is what we think is their independence day, but their independence day is actually the 15 of september and they have parties to celebrate. but thursday for the 15 of sep. our stake had a big traditional stake activity called noche mexicana or mexican night. so we went to merida and had a lot of our investigators there, but every ward practiced and dressed up for a traditional dance of a specific state in mexico. we got to see a bunch of different types of dances and after we ate a lot of pazole and Horchata! it turned out great! i also got to meet up with the family Navarro, the branch president from my first area in tekax. turns out they moved to merida. but i saw Haranzu, Anna, and Rebecca (the little girl i took a pic with with my blue hair wig like 2 years ago!) its was super great to see everyone!

we are also prepping some baptisms this week, so we will se how it goes! well i love you all and hope you have a great week!

Transfers!!

Transfers are here!!

so this week has been such a busy and suprising week! 

this week, we had a little goodbye party for Elder Calmes, who goes home today! we made a little scavenger hunt for him and everything! it was super fun, president Ruiz even came. 

so sunday, my companion and I were super surprised when we were called into the primary class, and all the primary kids had made us letters and wrote personal notes to each of us! and the things the children said to me, just touched my heart soo deeply, i honestly love each and everyone of them!! plus i got some awesome pictures that were drawn by them of me and them. its something that we will never forget. after church, we took pictures with some members because they knew that it was time for transfers. so i honestly thought that i was going to stay and that i was going to finish my mission in Maria Luisa as a district leader of my small district. i was surprised as we got that transfers call telling me that for my last transfer, that the lord needed me in another area! so this new area in which i am in is called Progreso, it is like the dream area of all missionaries. at the beginning ive always wanted to come here, but after the love i developed for maria luisa, i didnt want to leave, but i guess the lord had something else more he needed me to do, and something more i needed to learn. so i am now in progresso as a district leader of a much larger district, and i already just love everyone in zone! the thing is about progreso is that its the place where all the ships come in and there are beaches, its super beautiful!! i cant wait to go running every morning!! im also more excited to meet all the members sunday!! i do love changes because it makes me adapt to new stuff! my new companion is called Elder Flores, he is from Torreon Mexico. he is super funny and we get along well! im super excited to be working with him! for these last 6 weeks of my mission, i promised the lord that i would give it all i got! i love this work soo much and i dont want to leave it behind! i came here to finish what i started and to learn what the lord wants to teach me!! i dont have that much to say about the area now, but we will see how this first week goes!! 

i love you all and have a fantastic week!!
