<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well..... this is going to be my last email from Mexico. My 18 months have come to an end ridiculously, unbelievable fast. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1632606255" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">This Wednesday</span></span></span> I fly back home. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I´ve been trying to think of what I would write in this email. It´s hard to put into one email all the thoughts and emotions I have had recently, but I´ll do my best. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This time I have spent in Mexico as an official representative of the Lord Jesus Christ has been.... the craziest, most difficult, and most wonderful experience of my life. I would have loved to have stayed a little while longer if they would let me, but it seems like the Lord has other plans for me. But I am so so so so so eternally grateful that He let me come in the first place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This past <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1632606256" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Saturday</span></span></span>, we had the opportunity to go to a baptism in Bellavista, which is the ward that shares a church building with La Aurora. I didn´t think I was going to see anyone from Aurora there because they don´t have their activities on Saturdays normally, but when we got there, almost the entire ward was there! We entered to say hi and to see what was going on and we learned that the ward mission leader and his wife had just been sealed in the temple as a family earlier that day! I love that family sooooo much and seeing them so happy made me so incredibly happy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have had a lot of little moments like that in my mission. Moments when I feel so much love and joy that I feel like my heart´s going to burst. Another one of those moments was today, when we went to say goodbye to Manuel. I told him that someday I´ll come back to visit, and that when that day comes, I want him to answer the door walking, and not in his wheelchair. And he told me that he would. I have seen the Lord work miracles in Manuel, literally he has been healing in front of my eyes, and I know that he will be walking when I see him again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is, maybe, one of the most important things I have learned on my mission: how to love. How to give without expecting anything in return. How to serve with everything I have and feel real joy in that service. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Lord has taught me again and again in my time here that the blessings come when we serve. Way back in the beginning of my mission I shared with you all the lyrics of a youth song called "It´s not about you," and I have learned that principle again and again. When I forget myself, I am happy. When I´m feeling sick or tired, I know that the Lord will give me strength in the moment that I go out and contact someone. When I feel angry or frustrated, I know that I need to serve. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And I know that when we truly give ourselves to the Lord, He can then work with us. He can change us, and then use us as instruments to bring about much good and many miracles. Sometimes we see the miracles He does through us, sometimes we don´t, but I know that they happen. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Honestly, I don´t really want to end the mission. But I know that while my official mission as a full-time missionary in Mexico may be ending, my mission in life is really just beginning. This Mexico mission has been like my training camp for my life mission. It was how I learned some important lessons and skills to help me in my future service, and how I expanded my sphere of influence. And now that I´m going back home, I´m returning with all the ganas in the world to keep serving and to always be a missionary.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I reread this talk by Elder Holland this morning, and it reminded me that even when some wonderful moments come to their end, the best is yet to be. I invite you all to read it, it´s really really good:</div>

<span style="color: #777777;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
I also invite you all to my little sister´s graduation party <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1632606257" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">this Friday</span></span></span>. I don´t know the details, but my mom does :) And I invite you all this Sunday to the Wadsworth Ward Sacrament Meeting, where I will share I few more thoughts about my mission and some important lessons I learned here. It´s in the Medina Chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don´t remember the direction or the hour of our services, so you´ll have to ask my mom about that too. But I hope to see you all there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know that God is my Heavenly Father, that Jesus Christ is my Savior, that He lives, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is His church. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, I really do. I know that I am His servant. I know these things with all my heart. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How´re you all doing? I´m doing pretty good. Today my companion and I went with a sister from our ward to the Atlantes de Tula, finally! I´ve been wanting to go for a long time now, basically ever since I got here to Arcos. </div>
<div>
So, Misión México Norte has two different sides. The first is the México State side, which includes Cuautitlan, where I have spent my entire mission. It´s more city, it´s basically a suburb of Mexico City. The second part is Hidalgo, which includes two zones, Tula and Atotonilco, which is a lot more rural, a lot more dust and cactus. In Tula, there are some ancient ruins that are pretty famous, so we went to see them. There are two pyramids (much smaller than those at Teotihuacan, but still pretty impressive) and on top of one of the pyramids there are some huge statue things that are called the Atlantes. Once again, I can´t send photos today, but I encourage you to look them up on the internet, they´re pretty impressive. </div>
<div>
But yeah, with one week remaining in the mission, I FINALLY got to go to Hidalgo.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyways, I just wanted to share one small experience with you. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1324671835" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">This Saturday</span></span></span> our entire district went to a baptism that the Hermanas in La Aurora had. We didn´t know who was going to be baptized, but Hermana Jimenez and I were pretty excited because we both spent time there in la Aurora. And yes, I got to see a bunch of members there that I love so much, including Rodolfo, one of my the people I baptized there! But the best part was when I saw who was getting baptized. </div>
<div>
So about 3 months ago, a woman and her daughter came to church. They were driving by and the mother felt a strong feeling that made her want to enter the building. Her daughter did not want to come in and said that she would wait in the car, but her mom basically forced her to come in too. Well, they came in about half way through the Arcos sacrament meeting. They had some really strong spiritual experiences. Hermana Brady and Hermana Perez and I did our best to explain everything and to help them feel comfortable, and that night we passed the reference. And I had almost forgotten about all this until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1324671836" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">this Saturday</span></span></span> when I got to see the daughter get baptized. The mother is going to be baptized this Sunday. </div>
<div>
I am so so so so incredibly grateful that the Lord let me witness at least part of this incredible miracle. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is a gospel of miracles.</div>
<div>
I love you all!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just in case you´ve all been wondering, I finish my mission and get home <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714682" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">May 24th</span></span></span>.</div>
<div>
Now you all know. And now we´re not going to talk about that anymore because it just depresses me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, this week was crazy. We worked hard everywhere except our own area. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714683" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Tuesday</span></span></span> morning we started some exchanges which we finished <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714684" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Wednesday</span></span></span> morning. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714685" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Wednesday</span></span></span> afternoon we started some more exchanges which ended <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714686" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Thursday</span></span></span> afternoon. And all <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714687" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Wednesday</span></span></span> and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714688" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Thursday</span></span></span> I felt a little sick, but nothing that could keep me from working. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714689" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Friday</span></span></span> we spent all day in a big meeting. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1891714690" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Saturday</span></span></span> we did a service activity in La Aurora (one of my areas!) where we helped clean an investigator´s field. By the end of the week Hermana Jimenez and I had spent about 5 hours working together in our own area :/ But this week should be a little more normal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Um, I really don´t have much time today.</div>
<div>
But I want you to know that I know that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. And He always listens. So pray away!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So happy Día del Trabajo today! And happy Día del niño yesterday!</div>
<div>
And happy Día de la batalla de Puebla <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1303584827" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Friday</span></span></span>!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mexicans really like to celebrate things. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, the big news for this week is that Nallely got baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<wbr></wbr>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pictures will have to wait for some future date.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was a beautiful service, a lot of people came. Including my mission president and his wife. </div>
<div>
Yesterday we had ward conference in church, and as part of the program Manuel and Nallely were invited to share their testimonies. Manuel was able to stand and support himself with the podium to bear his testimony. He had written his testimony before hand to not mess up, and seeing him standing there, reading his simple yet sincere testimony brought tears to my eyes. Then Nallely´s beautiful testimony broke me down completely. I love those two so much. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The baptism and ward conference were a beautiful ending to a week that was honestly rather hard. We were very very busy and had less time that we would have liked to do proselyting, and when we did get out, no one was ever able or willing to meet with us. </div>
<div>
I honestly did get a little frustrated sometimes that Día del niño celebrations would be so much more important than God in the lives of some people. But that was really just a good reminder that, well, if these people don´t understand the importance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I do. And that´s why I´m here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know that this Gospel and this Church are true. I know it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, every night we call our district leader to report on our efforts for that day. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_931605552" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">On Saturday</span></span></span>, I was talking with my district leader, and he asked me, "So what´s the secret Hermana Herron? You´ve been super happy all week, why is that?" His question surprised me because <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_931605553" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Saturday</span></span></span> was a particularly difficult day. We had a lot of appointments fall through, three families told us that they didn´t want us to pass by anymore, and I was honestly feeling a little sad about that. It was the end of what had been a very difficult week. But my district leader made me realize that I had in fact been very happy all week somehow. Which is weird, it was a very difficult and tiring week. Well, what I told him was that this past week may have been the week in which I have worked the hardest in my entire mission. And somehow, that made very happy, despite the disappointments. </div>
<div>
The gospel sometimes doesn´t make sense according to the world. But that doesn't change the fact that it´s true.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, just some other news, they have been changing everything down here, and last week we were told that we now have permission to knock on doors. So, for the first time in my mission, almost 17 months in, I tried proselyting by knocking on doors. Due to the nature of our area, it´s pretty hard here, because most of our area is closed buildings and closed streets with security guards who only let the missionaries pass if they have the name and direction of who they´re going to visit. But there is one part that´s a little more open, so we tried it there, and we had a little success. We found at least one new family that way. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I know that this work that I´m in is God´s work. I know that we are His children, I know that He loves us with all His heart, might, mind, and strength. That´s why my all will never be enough to repay Him, but I´ll keep giving it :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love and miss you all!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you all have had a wonderful Easter!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just really quick, I have a new companion! Hermana Jimenez, she´s my third companion from Oaxaca, México, and she is great. We both arrived here in the mission at the same time, and we started in the same district, so I´ve known her for a while already. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So Easter! Easter in Mexico is very different from Easter in the United States. The people here in Mexico have many traditions and celebrations all throughout the "Holy Week." They have processions that represent the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Sometimes the reenact it. Some people walk on their knees to a certain place to show their devotion to Christ. I really don´t know that much about all their traditions, but it really is moving how these people show their devotion to the Lord by remembering His suffering for us. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But something that I was thinking yesterday is that if we focus only on Christ´s suffering for us, we, well, suffer. But Christ didn´t just come to suffer, He also came to overcome that suffering, so that we don´t have to suffer like he did. </div>
<div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Hi Everybody!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">So guess what.... Manuel got baptized this week! Yay! It was
a really nice baptism, a lot of ward members came. Arcos is a really really
great ward for fellowshipping. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I don´t know if I ever explained this, but Manuel has had
several.... I don´t actually know what they are. In Spanish they´re called
infartos cerebrales, which literally translates to brain heart attacks. But because
of this, he struggles to control is movements. That´s why he´s in a wheel
chair, he can technically walk, but it is very difficult and very dangerous for
him, because he falls a lot. That´s also why he can´t read and why he talks in
a very slow, very deliberate way. In the baptism we had a chair in the
baptismal font, but it was still very hard for him to get baptized. Either a
hand or a foot or a knee would slip up without him wanting to. And even worse,
his hands didn´t really have strength to keep his nose plugged and his mouth
closed, so yeah, it was an uncomfortable experience for him. But after 4 tries,
he got it! And Manuel is so great, he never complained and he never gave up, he
knew that he wanted to get baptized, so that´s what he did, no important how difficult
it was. After the fourth time finally worked, he came up out of the font and
said, "They finally got my horns out!" It was pretty funny. He´s
always been golden, and I know he´ll be a faithful saint. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I love what he said in his baptismal interview too, our
district leader shared it with us later that night. The two of them entered the
room for the interview, and then Manuel started by saying, "Hermano, with
your permission, I would like to be baptized this Saturday."</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">We really have been blessed here in Arcos, and we have been
seeing a lot of miracles. Just one more that I really wanted to share with you
all. This past week we had a lot of meetings, studies with other sister
missionaries, consejo, the baptism, and basically a lot going on. So even
though we had a high goal for new investigators, but Saturday, we had 0. After
the baptism we only had a couple of hours to work, and it was full of
appointments. One of the appointments fell, so we decided to look for some of
our future investigators to hopefully teach one or two of them and convert them
into new investigators. We went looking for one named Damaris (it´s actually an
interesting story of how we met her and contacted her too, but that´s a story
for another day). We knocked on the door and her sister answered and invited us
in. Then Damaris came down, then their parents, and suddenly we had a family of
4 new investigators! But much more important than the numbers are the people.
This family needs a lot of help. The mother, Lupita, has had major back pain
for over 10 years, and she shared with us about all her trials that she has
had. This family has basically every problem you can imagine. And Lupita
was considering suicide when we showed up. She told us that she knows that the
Lord sent us there to help her and her family, and I know it too. I know that
the Lord sent us to that family not to find new investigators, but to save. I
just hope and pray that they accept this gospel, because I know it is exactly
what they need to save their family and their lives.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">That is real missionary work. That is the Lord´s work. The
Lord doesn´t call us to bring people into the church. He calls us to serve and
to save. That´s why Manuel kept trying until he could finally be baptized,
because he knew that he wasn´t just joining a church, he was becoming clean of
his sins, making a sacred covenant with God, and preparing to return to His
presence someday. And that´s why the Lord guided us to this family, not to
convince them of our religion, but to give them the opportunity to be healed
through the power of Jesus Christ. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">And speaking of healing through Jesus Christ, enjoy Easter
everyone! It´s the day that we remember the most important even that ever
happened in the whole history of the world! The resurrection of our Savior
Jesus Christ.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Well, love you all, keep reading the Book of Mormon every day!</span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sorry for not writing last week, I kind of ran out of time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Quick news, I whistled for the first time in my life this week! It really wasn´t that impressive, but it was better than any whistle I´ve ever done before. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week was wonderful, because we had GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!! I love conference so much. I was particularly moved by President Monson´s simple testimony of the Book of Mormon. And his prophetic council is to study the Book of Mormon every day. I know that the Book of Mormon has a great power to it, I´ve felt it in my life and most especially in my mission. So, if you aren´t reading the Book of Mormon every day, follow the prophet and do it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was also impressed by how many times they talked about "The Living Christ" and encouraged us to study it as well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don´t know if I´ve told you about Nayeli yet. Nayeli was a former investigator who just kinda disappeared for a few months. She wouldn´t answer her phone and she was never home when we passed. Hermana Brady seemed to know her pretty well, but I didn´t meet her until two weeks ago when she showed up at church. She has really, um, recobrado ánimo, she´s really poniendo las pilas, um, well, she´s pretty excited now, she wants to be baptized, and she has a baptismal date for the end of the month. She also has a 7-year-old son and she wants him to serve a mission someday :) He´s adorable, he did an activity with us where we had to draw a picture, and then everyone else had to guess what it was. I drew the temple first, and everyone guessed that right, so then I drew a French horn, and no one guessed that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, if you didn´t see conference, please watch it here <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.lds.org&source=gmail&ust=1491400544425000&usg=AFQjCNFXRHp1rZzmkh1t4P9aPxezsqmxpg" href="http://www.lds.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc;">www.lds.org</span></a>.</div>
<div>
If you did see conference, review your notes, pray, and set some specific goals and plans (see Elder Ballard´s talk) to apply conference in your life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all!</div>

<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Hi Everyone!<br />
I just want you all to know that I love being in Mexico. Even though I´ve been here for almost 16 months, there are still times when I´m walking in the street and I look around and see the people selling tamales and the signs in Spanish and the graffiti and the pollution and I think to myself. "I love Mexico." </div>
<br />
And I also want you to know that I absolutely love being a missionary. I love everything about it. I love that we spend all day everyday out and about in the work of the Lord. I love that I have the opportunity and the authority to testify to every single person I see that I am a representative of Jesus Christ. I love that I get to see so many miracles as the Lord brings about his work here among these people I love so much. And maybe I´m going slightly crazy, but I even love when people reject us, because it is exactly when someone challenges us or rejects us that I most feel the Spirit testify that our message is true. And later on, when someone accepts the gospel, it´s just the sweetest thing in the world. </div>
<br />
I love walking through the streets. singing hymns with my companion and getting weird looks from people because we sing so loud. I love praying and knowing that my prayers are heard. I love sitting in an intense lesson with an investigator who needs the gospel much and promising them with all my heart and all my soul that this is exactly what they need. I love serving, and I pray that I can serve with even more of my heart, might, mind, and strength while I´m still here. </div>
<br />
My friends, this gospel is true. It´s all true. God lives. Jesus Christ is the Savior and Creator of the world. The Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God. And our Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers. </div>
<br />
Also, I hope you all know that I love you all!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I promised I would tell you about some of the families we have been finding recently. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My time here in Arcos has been very interesting, because our investigator pool has been completely transformed in my time here. We have had to drop or have lost almost all of the investigators that we had when I got here about 2 months ago (have I really already been here for 2 months?!) and so we have really been exercising our faith to find new investigators, especially new families. And the Lord has been blessing us a lot. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One family we have found is the Lopez family. We contacted the father in the street, and he invited us to visit his family. When we went to the first cita, he wasn´t there but his wife was, so we started talking with her. They have 2 adorable children, Diego and Kenya. And every member of the family has a different personality and a different level of openness. The father is very thoughtful and more than anything, wants to change. The mother is open but also very skeptical and wants to be completely convinced before committing to anything. And Diego is adorable, he is the most open of everyone. During the first lesson he didn´t really make any comments or ask any questions or anything, but at the end when we invited them to come to church, he was the first to say, "I want to go!" And when we were arranging a day to come again, he told us, "Don´t come <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1636055244" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Tuesday</span></span></span>, because I won´t be here <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1636055245" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Tuesday</span></span></span>." I love this family!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, Manuel now has come to church 3 weeks in a row, and he is getting very very excited to be baptized in April!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, to end I just want to share with you my scripture of the week:</span></div>

There is so much I could say about this scripture and how it has helped me, but I don´t have time, so I´ll just settle by saying that I know that this is the work of the Lord, truly a great work. And I really do know that it is the small things, the every-day diligence, the small acts of faith, that bring about the great miracles.</div>

Hello everyone, I have no time today, literally. But next week I promise to tell you about some of the amazing families we have been finding lately.<br />
<div>
I know this work is the work of the Lord, and I love being a part of it!</div>

I love you all, have a wonderful week, you´re all in my prayers.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have no time today, but I wanted to let you all know that yesterday, an investigator named Manuel came to church for the first time! He is a very sweet old man, he is in a wheel chair, but is very humble and willing to learn. He accepted a baptismal date early on and every time we visit him, he reminds us "Hermanas, don´t forget that I´m getting baptized <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1622582379" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">April 8th</span></span></span>." And if he keeps coming to church, he will be. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sorry I don´t have time to share more. I still love you all! Have a wonderful week. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, this week Hermana Brady went home to Las Vegas, and Hermana Pérez and I are back to being just two, and it honestly feels really weird. Even though I was only in a trio for a few weeks, I really enjoyed it and I got used to it very quickly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As usual, I have next to no time today, but I just wanted to share with you my testimony that I know that the same gospel that Jesus Christ taught and the same church that He established are on the earth again, and that they were restored through a prophet of God, Joseph Smith. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week I was reading a little in a book that all missionaries have called "Our Heritage," which is basically a small sketch of the restoration and history of the church. This week I was reading about Kirtland (yay Ohio) and I was really really impressed by the sacrifices that the early saints made and the faith they showed. Many of them gave up everything they had, including their lives, because of their faith. It really impacted me, because how many times have I complained for sickness (by the way I got sick to the stomach again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_661197105" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Saturday</span></span></span>) or fallen appointments or people who reject us or cualquier little thing. I honestly don´t know if I would have been one of the strong, faithful, stalwart pioneers we always hear stories about, or if I would have been a little more like Laman and Lemuel. Maybe I´m not currently in the same kinds of circumstances, but reviewing those stories strengthened my resolve to be the best latter-day missionary that I can be. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You´re invitation of the week for members is to ask the missionaries if any of their investigators are coming to church and to sit with those investigators in Sacrament Meeting. If you´re not a member of the church, your invitation of the week is to Pray with real intent to know God´s will for you, just as Joseph Smith did.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I love and miss you all! Have a wonderful week!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was a pretty interesting week. As sister training leaders, we do exchanges with various companionships of sisters in Cuautitlan each transfer. This week we were planning on doing some <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_552007731" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Tuesday</span></span></span> and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_552007732" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Friday</span></span></span>. Well, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_552007733" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Tuesday</span></span></span> Hermana Brady got really sick and was throwing up and everything. Because we´re in a trio, it wasn´t too much of a problem, Hermana Perez and I went did the exchanges with the two other sisters while Hermana Brady rested in the house of a member. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_552007734" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Friday</span></span></span> though, we ended up doing two exchanges at the same time. Hermana Brady went to the area of some sister missionaries with both of them to see how they are working together in their area, while Hermana Perez and I were going to do normal exchanges with another companionship. but that day, I got really sick with the same thing Hermana Brady had. So poor Hermana Perez was with the two sisters all day while I rested in the house of a member.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yup, interesting week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Quick miracle, there is a 16 year old less active girl here who until recently was a professed atheist. But apparently 4 years ago, before turning atheist, she promised her sister that she would finish her Personal Progress. And she felt the obligation to follow-through with her promise. A few weeks ago she came to us asking for help to start her personal progress, and we have been working with her on the first few experiences. The first experience required her to pray twice a day for three weeks, and she has been doing it! We are seeing a big change in her, she no longer says she doesn´t believe in God, she no longer fights with her aunts and sisters, and she wants to come to church again! Personal Progress really is an inspired program. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today we celebrated Hermana Brady´s last día de preparación by going to a cemetery. Actually, it was really beautiful, and the main reason we went is because there is a HUGE statue of Jesus there. Pictures to come in some future day.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_552007735" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">this Thursday</span></span></span> Hermana Brady ends her mission and flies home, so it will be just Hermana Perez and me here in Arcos. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you all for your support and your prayers.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today we went to the temple!!!! It was absolutely beautiful, but I have almost 0 time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So just 2 quick stories. First, this week my companions and I put the goal to find a new family that will attend church this week. Yesterday we were contacting and looking for future investigators like crazy! But no one was accepting. That´s when we decided to say a prayer, and to our minds came the talk from the General Women's session last conference by President Uchtdorf, "Fourth floor, last door." We decided to keep looking, and literally the last people we tried accepted us. I know the Lord is preparing a lot of people and families for us, and though they might be the last ones, if we are diligent we will find them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Second thing, we had a worldwide broadcast for missionaries last Wednesday. It was excellent. It was also very interesting, because they announced some changes to the missionary schedule and the key indicators. Supposedly our mission president was going to help clear things up for us, but President Urrea found out the same time we did. The church announced some of these changes in December to all the mission presidents, but for all the changes and confusion this mission had in December with our mission presidents, we somehow were missed. President Urrea also is beginning to implement his own changes in our schedule and other things in the mission, so, yeah, it´s been a crazy week. But I love change, it keeps us awake and it keeps us constantly trying to repent and be better.</div>
<div>

Well, I love and miss you all!! Thanks for all your support!</div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Well, this week has been quite interesting. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">My new area, like I said last week, is right here in
middle of all my other areas. It is very small, not quite as small as Mira Azul
was, but still small, but a lot of people live here because there are a lot of
apartment buildings. We live in one of them, 4th floor out of 10. And it is a
really nice, rather rich area. Maybe La Aurora and Joyas 2 were just especially
poor, but I honestly feel uncomfortable in some of these houses. But there is a
lot of work here, a lot of people that we are teaching. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Also, all the members here have friends or family that
live in my other 3 areas.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">My two companions are really good. Hermana Brady is my
first American companion since the CCM, she´s from Las Vegas, and this is
actually her last transfer, she goes home in the middle of February, before the
transfer actually ends, which is why we are in trio right now. She has a lot of
experience as a sister training leader and has the most time in this ward as
well. She´s also the second person I´ve met here in the mission who was at BYU
before the mission, like me. Actually, we lived in neighboring buildings in
Helaman Halls the same year at BYU, but neither of us remembers having seen
each other. Hermana Perez is form Guadalajara and has just one transfer
less than me. I´ve known here since her first transfer here, so we were both
excited that we would be companions. She is really sweet. Actually, the three
of us complement each other pretty well for how we teach and work, so things
are working out well. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">It´s been forever, so I´ll throw in a quick Mexican fun
fact. Just like in English, there are different accents in Spanish. In the
beginning of my mission I couldn´t hear them, I could just here people speaking
Spanish, but now I can recognize a lot of accents, and it is really fun. For
example, my mission president, Presidente Urrea, is from the north, from
Monterrey, and he has the Monterrey accent very strong. Mexico City is famous
for its chilango accent, which is very fast and sing-songy. Here in the state of
Mexico it´s not quite as common or as strong, but I do here it a lot,
especially in street venders and combi drivers. My favorite accent thus far is
the accent of my past district leader, who is from Argentina. His accent is
like a very very strong Italian accent. It was really hard for me to understand
him at first because he says all of his y´s and ll´s like sh, while in normal
Mexican Spanish we say the y´s and ll´s more like jy. But now I can understand
him better. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As for me, I have a gringo accent, but I´m working on
it. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Well, I love this work. I love the privilege of spending
all my time and all my strength serving the Lord by serving His children here.
I know that Christ is directing His work. </span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week was a lot better for Hermana Morillón and I as far as the work goes. A lot more lessons, a lot more lessons, a lot of people progressing, we´ve been seeing a lot of miracles here and it has been very exciting here in Joyas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So of course, they decided to move me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have transfers <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_983817786" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">tomorrow</span></span></span>, and I´m off to Arcos. Once again, it´s right here in the same stake, about 10 minutes away in car. And, I will be in a trio, with Hermana Brady (an American) and Hermana Perez, who I´ve known for almost my whole mission. And even crazier, we three will be sister training leaders.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have no idea how to be a sister training leader and I have no idea how it will be in a trio, but I guess we´ll see. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It´s funny, because I´ve actually been to arcos before. In this mission, the new missionaries arrive on Mondays but aren´t assigned companions and areas until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_983817787" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Tuesday</span></span></span>, so that first Monday they spend with some other missionaries in another area. And my first day here in the mission, over a year ago, I spent the day with the sister training leaders in Arcos. That´s where I started my mission, and if the pattern keeps up, it might be where I end too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I don´t have much time, but I´m putting here the link to one of my new favorite talks of all time. It´s actually a devotional from BYU, and part of the reason I like it so much might be because he talks about math. But he also shares a message that I really have needed here in my mission. We aren´t perfect, we will never be perfect in this life, but if we do our best, God makes up the rest. I know that is true, because I see it every day. The Lord is the one who is doing His work here in Mexico, not me. I´m just so grateful I can be a part of it. </div>

Hi Everyone!!!!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First things first, the pictures! They are from this morning when we went to Teotihuacan. I don´t have time to tell you all about it, so I invite you to look it up. But it´s huge. It´s an entire city of ruins. There are two really big pyramids too, the pyramid of the Sun, and the pyramid of the moon. We can go once in our mission, and Hermana Morillón and I went today with la Hermana Curiel. We arrived super early, so at first we had the whole place to ourselves, but it was so foggy we couldn´t see anything. It was actually really neat, if felt like we were in the sky, or in a dream. Then it cleared up and we really enjoyed our time there. There are a lot of theories out there about Teotihuacan and whether it may be a place in the Book of Mormon. I personally believe it´s Zarahemla, but that is Hermana Herron doctrine, it´s not church doctrine, and it may be a biased opinion. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ok, working backwards, yesterday was great because a ton of people came to church! We had 8 investigators and about 17 less-actives that we teach come yesterday. I was so happy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We were surprised how many people came too because we hardly had any lessons this week. The only day we had a considerable number of lessons scheduled was <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_282209708" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Wednesday</span></span></span>, and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_282209709" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Wednesday</span></span></span> we had to return home right after district meeting for safety reasons so we didn't actually get to teach. It was the first day in my entire mission that I didn´t go out to do some sort of proselyting, which was a little sad. But we´re back to business now, no worries. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We´re hoping for a very busy and miracle-filled week here. And I hope you all have a wonderful week too.</div>

Hi everyone, y feliz año!!!<br />

I don´t have too much time today, but honestly I don´t have<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

very much to say. Almost everyone left on vacations this week, so teaching was a little slow. But it was still a really nice festive week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am very very grateful for all that I learned and saw and did and became in 2016, and I know that the Lord has many blessings waiting for us in 2017. Remember, faith is for the future! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few pictures from last week. My companion and I with our capacitadoras the day of intercambios (I don´t know those words in English, I´m sorry) and a picture of our 3 assistents to the president dressed up as the 3 kings, delivering us gifts :)<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Les amo y les extraño mucho!</div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I hope you all had an absolutely wonderful Christmas, and
I hope you haven´t stopped celebrating it. My Christmas was really nice. After
a few problems with skype, I got to talk to my family yesterday. It was great
to see them, and to know that I still speak English, almost. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">My companion and I also made our own little Christmas
tree out of broomsticks, clothes hangers, a lot of duct tape, and some Liahona
magazines. I tried to send some pictures, but this computer doesn´t seem to
want to accept them, so maybe next week.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">We also had a nice mission Christmas devotional last
Thursday. It was the first chance we got to meet our newest mission president,
President Urrea. So, after President and Hermana Titensor went back to Utah for
cancer treatments, President and Hermana Garcia came to look after us for about
a month and a half. During that time, the church was calling new mission
presidents, most of whom will start next July. Well, President Urrea was called
to be president of the Mexico City North mission, and he was informed that he
would be starting as soon as possible, not in July. So they got as much as
their life in order as they could in less than a month and arrived here about a
week and a half ago. President and Hermana Urrea seem really really nice, and
much more relaxed than President Garcia was. They are from Monterey.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">One of the best parts of the Christmas devotional was
when our three assistants to the President came out dressed as the three wise
men and delivered to us our Christmas packages. They were impressive costumes.
Again, hopefully I´ll be able to send pictures next week.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I was also glad to see that the assistants were ok, because
right now their area is Tultepec. Tultepec is right next to my area. I could
walk there in about 10 minutes. Some of you may have already heard what
happened there this past Tuesday, my family already did. Hermana Morillón and I
were eating some pambazos when we heard a number of loud bangs. Everyone
started going outside to see what was going on and so we did too, and we saw a
huge cloud rising just to the east of us. I honestly thought a bomb had gone
off, and I wasn´t that far off. The core of the Tultepec economy is fireworks.
One member told me that 80% of the fireworks in Mexico come out of Tultepec,
and 40% of the fireworks in the world. I don´t know if that´s true, but the
point is, they are crazy about fireworks here. There is a big marketplace that
sells 100% fireworks. And somehow, on Tuesday, it all exploded. All of it.
Literally tons of explosives. It was really really bad. And it was really scary
too. I personally don´t know anyone who was there, but I have heard that well
over 30 people are already dead, and a lot more are seriously injured. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">So please keep Tultepec in your prayers right now. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">It was really inspiring for me to see the care with which
the people of Mexico responded. And the hope with which they were still able to
celebrate this special Christmas season. Because that is really what Christmas
is about: hope. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">So keep hoping. And keep believing. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I love and miss you all!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Have I told you all about la familia Mendez yet? La mamá,
Alejandra, was a referral from a member here in the ward. We went to visit her,
and she was very receptive, but she told us that she wanted to learn more
before we taught her family too. That was a few weeks ago. For a while we
struggled to get lessons or to get her to church. But then, last week, her
entire family came to church!!!!! And they all liked it a lot. Alejandra
invited us over to eat Tuesday, and then Thursday we had another lesson, but
this time with the entire family. And they are golden!!!! Alejandra´s husband
is named Oscar, he´s a math teacher :) They have three children, two young
women and a baby named Mateo. Alejandra has already been teaching her daughters
and husband everything that we had already taught her, and Oscar gave the
prayer at the end of our lesson, and it was so beautiful. They are the best.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">So, if you didn´t already know, this Sunday is Christmas!
It is not every day that we get to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ
by partaking of the sacrament and remembering His suffering and sacrifice for
us. I hope it makes your Christmas even more wonderful and special this
year. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I love this time of year. I love the lights and music and
trees and presents and </span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">all our
traditions, especially here in Mexico. But much much more than all that, I love
my Savior. We don´t celebrate Christmas for the presents or the commercialism
or even for the general spirit of love and giving. And we don´t celebrate it
because a baby was born either. We celebrate Christmas for who that baby was
and is, for what He did and does, and because God so loved the world that He
gave His only Begotten Son. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ok, I don´t have any more time. Pero les deseo una feliz
navidad. Les amo muchísimo.</span></div>

Hi friends!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don´t have time this week, so I´ll just explain a few pictures.</div>
<div>
First of all, last Monday, Innocencia and Bulmaro took us to eat some tacos. And they ordered some special ones for me to try. The taco on the left is tripa (intestine), the taco on the right is ojo (eyeball). They tasted exactly how they sound.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, Bulmaro has now come to church 4 times in a row!!!!! We are planning his baptism for the 24th, Christmas eve!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Second, Hermana Morillón and I saved a puppy this week. She was wandering in the street and looked like she already had a while living in the street. We asked a round a little and couldn´t find the owner, so we took her to Hermana Esther, who was more than happy to care for the little puppy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The work goes on here in Joyas, and we are doing our best to share the real message of hope and joy that belongs to this Christmas season, the message that is centered on our Savior Jesus Christ.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love and miss you all!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, this week was nice.... honestly all of the days and weeks have kinda blurred together.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, we have worked really hard here in this area, and one of the biggest problems we have been facing has been finding the time to visit all of the investigators we have that are progressing, help other investigators start to progress, and keep finding new investigators. Because our area is so big and there isn´t much transportation, it sometimes feels like we spend a lot more time walking than teaching. Well, the Lord answered our prayers in an unexpected way. This transfer we are going to be opening Joyas 1 and Joyas 2. Sister Morillón and I are going to be here in Joyas 2, which has the colonias Santa Elena, Joyas, and Villas, the zone leaders are going to arrive in Joyas 2, which is the rest of the area. I´m a little sad about losing half of the people that we´re teaching, but I know that it´s better this way, because all the people here deserve more time than we can give them. I´ve never shared a ward with another companionship before, so it should be fun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Ok, next thing, this week we started the new Christmas Initiative, Ilumina el munda.... Dejenme checar como es en ingles..... Light the World. And it is super beautiful. If you have not yet heard about it or seen the video, go to <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://mormon.org&source=gmail&ust=1481057306536000&usg=AFQjCNFe-HUBN4G3zrGYYUKOy0hR-9T0Uw" href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc;">mormon.org</span></a> right now and click on the first thing you see. And then decide what you are going to do this Christmas season to follow the example of our Savior and light the world. There are ideas on <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://mormon.org&source=gmail&ust=1481057306536000&usg=AFQjCNFe-HUBN4G3zrGYYUKOy0hR-9T0Uw" href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc;">mormon.org</span></a> of things you can do everyday, but choose at least one thing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, if you didn´t get a chance to see the Christmas devotional last night, please see it. And cheer every time you see a French horn for me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the initiative and the Christmas devotional and the new Christmas season we´re entering, I´ve been thinking a lot about Christ. Even more than normal. Nothing I do as a missionary has any meaning without Christ. I am one of His representatives, and I have the opportunity everyday to testify of Him. But it also surprised me when I first got here in the mission how many menial things we do as well, like filling out forms and calling a million people on the phone everyday and looking for members to accompany us and things like that. If we do the normal everyday things just because we have to do them, it´s rather boring and routine. But if I do it because I love my Savior, because I want to serve Him, with my eye single to the glory of God, then this becomes the most amazing work and the most amazing life ever. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, dedicate a few moments today to the Savior. And a few minutes <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1555286596" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">tomorrow</span></span></span>, and the next day and the next.... For those of you who are members of the church, you have covenanted to always remember Christ. I challenge you to try a little more to keep that covenant.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all. Thank you so much for your support and your prayers.</div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Hi Everyone</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Well.... I am now officially super old. I have a year in
the mission (is that how you say it in English? Ya no recuerdo....) I´m having
trouble coming to terms with that. This has to be the fastest year of my life.
My consolation is that I still have 6 months to work my hardest here in Mexico.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This week was full of miracles!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">First of all, I don´t know if any of you were able to
find the talk "Open your Mouths" that I mentioned last week? Well, in
it he talks about an approach he uses to invite people to learn about the
gospel. He just asks two questions: 1) Do you like to read? and 2) If I sent
you a book about the visit of Jesus Christ here to the Americas, would you read
it? Now, I´m not really a fan of set methods of contacting, but this week we
saw some miracles unfold as we invited people to read the book of Mormon in our
contacts. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">For example, last Monday all our appointments fell
through, but we saw a young couple putting up Christmas lights and started to
help them. We started trying to talk to them about how families can last
forever, which is usually quite effective, but they didn´t seem to respond. So
we changed tactic and started talking about the Restoration of the Gospel
through the prophet Joseph Smith, which Preach my Gospel encourages to do in
every contact. Still, they weren´t too interested. In fact, the wife started
telling us how they were very happy in their religion, how they go to study
groups every other week to read the Bible, how they really don´t want to learn
about any other religion... But then we mentioned the Book of Mormon: Another
Testament of Jesus Christ. We read together 3 Nephi 11:1-12, which I have done
many times in lessons but never in a street contact before. And this time we
had their attention. We passed by yesterday to deliver their own copy of the
Book of Mormon, and they are still very interested and want to read it, and we
have another appointment to go and talk with them more :)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The biggest miracle was Saturday when Edith was
baptized!!! I think I only mentioned her once before in my emails. Honestly,
everything moved very fast with her, and we weren´t 100% sure that she was
going to be able to be baptized this weekend, but she did! And she is so so
happy. Edith was a kind of special case. 5 of the 6 missionaries in my district
taught her at one point or another, so the entire district came to the baptism.
Also, right before her interview on Thursday, she heard me playing one of the
piano solos that Kellie sent me, "Nearer my God to Thee," and we
showed her the lyrics and she really liked it, so I played it again as part of
baptismal program. Considering the fact that I basically haven´t practiced in a
year, it wasn´t too bad. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Also, sorry for not sending pictures for so long, I might
have lost the cord to my camera, so I´m borrowing my companion´s camera right
now to send you all pictures. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">These are some pics from Edith´s baptism on Saturday. The
last one is a 3 generation picture of my trainer, my trainee, and me. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. No one here
celebrates it, but that day we ate with a member who is a professional baker,
so I still ate a lot of really good food :)</span></div>
