Dear Mom and Everyone,

This week was pretty cool,

We had super cool lessons with some of our best investigators named Nanci and her daughter Carla. They are super awesome because the rest of their family are either JW or Catholic, and they still listen to us. They are progressing really well we are teaching the plan of salvation to them and they are taking it really great, in our last lesson Nanci said she knew she was on the right path. They should be getting baptized in two weeks.

We have another investigator named Francisca, she's Nanci's sister. She was progressing great and was going to get baptized this Saturday but, it ended up that she didn't feel ready. Her husband just left her a few months ago and she says that it still hurts, so we will be working on that.

Another Investigator we have is Carlita (most of our investigators are women). She's awesome because she knows a lot about the bible. Usually that's really annoying but she's making a lot of super cool connection. But one of our last lesson we had with her we brought a member with us. Right when we got there the spirit was different, like she seemed annoyed or something. But when we started she didn't agree with something and we tried to explain it. She was about to throw us out but I got in and bore my testimony and she really calmed down. we almost lost her but she accepted another appt. the next lesson was a lot better and like normal.

Okay our apartment is in the house of some members. They treat us really well but we live very separately. All of our rooms are like a motel and our kitchen doesn't have a door. The Kitchen is okay. There is literally no counter space but we have a gas stove and oven. I'm planning on making homemade mac and cheese with chick breast so that should be good. yes, I did bring my pan and I love it. and yes, the Saturday I got here we baptized and girl named Hiadi (picture below). It was cool to come in to that. The area's cool butt super big we take the bus at least 2 to 4 times a day if not more but there are really cool investigators and members here. The ward is pretty big about 100. but church starts at 8 am, that's super rough to get people to church. and yes, I got the package thank you very much. I love the tie clips and my comp does too.

Well that’s about all, I love you all
