Well today we said our goodbyes to everyone, and it was a good healthy goodbye. Later we went and talked with our families and I received a lot of revelation while talking with my awesome mom! We came to the conclusion that you can only get mad when you fail to complete your part of anything, but we should not get mad if the cards don't fall our way. In other words, don't get mad about things out of your control. Later we went to the offices and I met my new companion Elder Gonzalez. He's from Paraguay and he's really cool. We are opening up a zone, so we have no room, no cook, and nowhere to wash our clothes. However, the Milagros are seen everywhere.

We found a room, slept with our assistants, and ate pizza. 

Elder Tituana my favorite companion and Elder Alvarado were also sleeping in the assistant’s room with us.

We found a cook! The view from our room is BREATHTAKING!!

Well I love you good night

Well we had to move into our room, it's on the 5TH FLOOR! We moved 2 desks, 2 dressers, 2 beds, a fan, a refrigerator, and our suitcases up to the 5TH FLOOR. And it is 95 degrees here! But still too many milagros in just one day, our cook made us fruit slushies and I about cried it was soooooo good. We are eating burgers right now. We had an amazing member help us move all of our stuff from other areas. I’m so grateful for this day! I love you good night

Well today we had district council and we were leading it. It went really well, I told my companion no matter how bad it is, if you give them treats afterwards it becomes the best console EVER!! So, we went into the office of sister Balderrama and took all her treats. After counsel we went to pick up our mirror for the room and she was like, some Elder took all my treats! And I was like that sick monster, who would do such a thing_ Well afterwards we went teaching, we found SOOOOOO MUCH PEOPLE! Everyone let us in their homes, we found families, part families, teenagers, and all! such a blessed day! I love you good night

Today was great, we did not have many visits, but we did explore a little more and invited the people from yesterday to baptism. We have such an awesome cook here in the area. We went and had a baptism interview today for some elders. Milagros of the day would be that we did not get lost, and all the people we visited yesterday were home today. So we are doing pretty good on the blessings scale! I love you good night

Well I’m kinda the worst with birthdays but I do believe today is Jared's birthday, if so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Today I was able to see so many milagros. We crossed a bridge made by two branches and chicken wire. Later we found a family of 5 and it was a pretty good lesson that we had with them. At the end of the day our pension bought us fried chicken and SODA!! So, my day was 10 out of 10 amazing!

Today we had no visits, but we did talk to a lot of people! Me and my companion got hungry while walking all day, so we bought some brownie things and ate them. We went looking for a girl to remind her and her family to go to church tomorrow, but we could not find her house. We went looking everywhere and we found her in the street! Woooow such a milagro! I even said that to her. We are nervous for our first Sunday here because we don't think anyone will come.... but I’m digging deep to keep the faith that someone will come. I love you good night!

Well today is Michal Jordan day. Oh, and also the birthday of my dad, Happy Birthday Dad. Fathers have always been a source of guidance and structure in a family. Even from the time of Nephi, a PROPHET of the Book of Mormon, he was born of goodly parents just like me. He was taught in the learning of his father just like me. Also, in the book of Enos 1:1 we can see the importance of the teaching of the father to his son, Enos. Dad I have learned so much from you, about good and bad examples. I remember when we were taking down a bee’s nest and right before we shot it with bee spray you said, WAIT, if we are going to do something dumb, let’s be smart about it. You have been such an example to me in all that you do, you give me your time to play, you have coached m in sports, and with that comes the pep talks, helped me in growing my ideas into achievable plans and actions. You have helped me so much grow and develop my testimony, and hopefully one day I can be just like you! I love you dad and I’m proud of you! Good night.
