I love to see the temple, I´m going there someday. To feel the holy spirit, to ma'r'ry I-sa-bel. :)
I really liked Conference although I didn´t understand a lot while I was tending to investigators and trying to take notes. While I was writing notes, my mind couldn´t focus on what they were saying. Haha. Luckily, I watched Priesthood in English because we didn´t have any investigators during that session. To which, I´m very grateful and somewhat sad. Haha. Presidente Flores gave us the task of having 10 people and I know we COULD HAVE HAD 10, if he had sacrificed our time well; however, we only had 8. Which is still very good.
I´m learning a lot in the mission: how to work so hard and be blessed by God with pure endurance; also how to sacrifice, how to plan, how to acheive my goals. I hope that I am a succesful person after the mission with my lack of schooling. I know that the Lord will bless whoever dedicates his time to him. There´s a scripture in Jacob 2 that says Antes de buscar riquezas, buscad el reino de Dios. Y despues de encontrar una esperanza en Cristo, obtendréis riquezas. I really want to be able to work and provide everything for my family in the future. I don´t want to be poor. Of which I say only in the way that I want take very good care of my family. My goal is to be a person of great success despite what may have passed in my life. I know that I will be said person if I put all I have in the service in the Lord.
I´m sending you photos of two people I baptized last week. I wish that you could all focus on spiritually preparing yourselves to participate in taking the sacrament. I promise that you will feel the remission of your sins more real than ever. Sadly, I only have 40 seconds. So, I will say that I love you and write you more by hand.
I love you so much.

hi im in cochabqamba now in a ward called cala cala and cochabamba is sooooo much more normal than sucre sucre is nuts! people pooping in the street and killing pigs in the same street and showering with buckets every other day No More!!!! and im glad because its looks like and feels like colombia, and the poeple have a higher education and thats nice bc you dont have to explain words like glory or celestial. and our area is huge and the lord heard me and put me in a zone with more sisters and one is from colombia and the other from lehi and i taught her how to wash her clothes today. i truly miss the people that i learned to love whom i was serving and the ward that had a bishopric change and the members i loved i miss it but i dont miss the craziness. and hna palma is better now. you know i have always been told you are strong and i never really believed it not fully, i now do i have had so many stresses lately and i havent gone nuts. my new companion in cala cala is hna martinez shes from guatemala i cant download pics right now (could you send more memory cards im nervous to send you the ones i have but im running out of space) it wont read the memory card. her boyfriend served in honduras so its fun to talk to her about central america and get an idea of what chirs is living. she has a bad back though they didnt diagnose her before but its painful for her to walk or sit or stand for too long and i carry her scriptures and mine so ease her burden and she cant sleep at night all the way through and she also gets constipated and all people eat here is rice and potatoes which makes is worse to see her get up every morning and just pretend it doesnt hurt when i know it does is so inspiring. i see her and i see me when i first got here when i would miss chirs and have a painful period and would just get up and work because i felt bad to burden the work but i have to say she is so much more devoted i feel bc imagine having to climb up and down with a bad hip that send electricity down your leg. she cries sometimes when she goes to therapy and it takes two hours away from our proselyting time and then her hip still aches. i dont know why im living this with every companion, hna choque took care of my salmonella and i learned how to watch over someone ill bc of how kind she was, hna palma had her meltdowns periodically and know hna martinez with her hip pains poor thing, but one thing that has become clear to me during my mission is that God loves me and all my experiences are but a short while and if i endure them well i shall be exalted. so even though im bumped i havent baptized last month at all and the previous one either i know that i am being obedient i know that with the limited knowledge i have i am doing all that i can think i can do that will please the lord and thats all he asks of me. i loved conference of all 12 people we envited twice during the week only one came the one we couldnt find and didnt invite. and though we got sad that our brother didnt give the lords mouth piece priority every prayer this weekend has been answered and i feel my saviours love for me. my favorite talks were from dallin h oaks about desire leads to priority priority to decision making and decisions to personality and quintin cook aobut the importance of women a talk i feel was overdue for the people in bolivia and especially richard g scotts talk about eternal families and his wife. his life and his wife resembles chriss and my story.
les amo ciao
