HELLO HELLOOO!! The last week of this transfer flewww by! Here's what's up: - we put a fecha with our friend Maria! She's awesome, I'm so so excited for her to enter the covenant path -7 friends in church yesterday!! - had a visit with a social media referral and holy cow they are the definition of CHOSENNNN there names are Antony and Erika...our first visit we talked about baptism and they both said they wanna get baptized, only one problem...they're not married. Any missionary or person that has served a mission understands the pain of this hahaha and on top of that he has to get a divorce...there's a likely chance I won't be here to see their baptism haha it might take a while, but they came to church yesterday with their 2 sweet girls who wouldn't stop hugging me and holding my hand oh my heck I love kids they truly are a piece of heaven on earth - Benitos perspective for why he cant find his phone anywhere is because he knows when he reads BOM on hi...

Hola holaa anotha fast week! Here's what's up -our convert Benito said he's reaching the end of Alma and wants to finish the book as fast as he can so he can start over -found 2 cockroaches and a lizard in the house...I'm the only one that deals with them bc my comp is so scared she literally stands a mile away and screams, so basically I've halfway overcome my fear of killing insects -BESTIES WEDDING! One of the best and hardest days of my mission tbh, honestly just grateful that technology worked and that I was able to watch all the important events happen and feel a percentage of what it would have been like to be there in person. I'm so so so happy for her and my new BROTHER IN LAW WHATTT?!? Welcome to the fam Rob -painted another house with the elders in our district -one of our friends excuse for not coming to church yesterday was that her dog killed the neighbors chicken and they had to "figure things out", now she has to pay him back a chicken...
