"Thanks for the happy 4 months haha 14 more to go haha which doesn´t seem like all that much now... it´s crazy how fast it really flies by but it´s crazy how much i am learning! it´s a love hate relationship. haha 

So we had transfers today and we heard the testimonies of the people leaving and it was so crazy. most of them couldn´t even believe it! it really does go by fast even though sometimes it goes by super slow haha but ya, that was interesting... it was super hard to see hna quintero leave too! it broke a bit of my heart and made me super nervouse because i still don´t know everything about my area haha but my new comp hna Olsen seems way cool! She´s finishing her mission her in Adrogué with me, which means that i will probably be spending two more transfers here! 

We had an open house here in another area in san jose which was fun! we were able to do a little program for them to help teach other people. Mostly members... but hey.

LOVES!!!

Saturday the 18th marked 4 months for Mina in the mission field. Can you believe it?

This is us at a celebratory dinner at her old place of employment, The Pizza Factory. It was delish. 

Love you Hermana Alldredge!!!

"But ya, our 'pensh' (apartment) is a lot bigger than others so that´s super nice! i really do like it!!!  

well ya, this week  i got sick again haha my fever was about 102.6, headache, stomach ache, and throwing up haha but i got a blessing which really helped me out. It told me, like my blessing when i was set apart, that i´m going to have a lot of challenges in the mission but Heavenly Father loves me (it said it twice haha i really needed to hear it) and that he´s going to give me strength to finish my mission. I knew a mission was going to be hard, but it´s harder when you get sick a lot lol but we´re trying to figgure out what´s going on. We´re thinking that it´s the water but i´m going to be noting the things i eat now to see if it´s a type of food or what. also, my eyes keep getting red so i´ve been wearing my glasses a lot haha but hey, these things aren´t really important right now. The important thing is that I really work when i can! 

We actually found another investigator who might need a lot of time, but i know that he will be an amazing member in this ward, and he has so much potential because of the person he is. Super nice and friendly! the only thing is is that he smokes... a lot... haha but i´m sure once he knows that this is the true gospel, that will change in a heartbeat cause he has the gift that he can feel the Spirit super stong through his feelings. It reminds me of you haha but the first little talk we had with him after we prayed- he was bawling like crazy. He has such great potential! Well I love you tonnnnns! hope you have a great week!!! 

LOVES!!!!

VERY short and sweet email with great Pics :) Hope everyone has a GREAT conference weekend!!

"I´m happy to hear that Joel had a good birthday!!!! With amazing food! gosh! My mouth was watering haha something i actually really miss here is breakfast food, especially Denny´s. haha i miss that a TON! Thanks for the photos! i showed my comp and i think she thinks that my family is crazy haha but that´s ok, it´s MY crazy family and i love them! I´m feeling a lot better now about things, which is good! But nothing too exciting this week, cause we had interviews with the Mission Pres and conference, and then pday haha so we had kind of a restful week which is nice every 6 months! The pres gave me a blessing, and promised me more strength and animo and i already feel it. The conference weekend and the chance to take it easy for a bit was perfect timing. A moment to recharge spiritually. I´m glad to hear you guys are doing alright and what not! Love you guys!!!!!!

LOVES!!!!
