Family!

Well the pattern continues!!!! I keep telling people i have a curse, one change in the mtc, two changes in tlachichuca, one change in malantiales, two changes in tlaxcallan and it came to pass that the pattern is going to continue. I have changes tomorrow haha i will be going to my fifth area and getting my ninth companion woo woo I'm thinking im going to break the recore for most areas and companions but who knows. I'm pretty excited about what will happen, I'm thinking i will go somewhere and be district leader again but who knows.

Juan and John continue to be on a roll and they were both in the church yesterday. They are great and I'm pretty sure they will get baptized but first they have to know everything and be taught all the lessons before they make a decision but so far   they are liking everything. There so funny, every time we go over they make us a big meal and they are so nice to us. Juan is the dad and he has been divorced for ten years but John his son lives with him and he is seventeen. Juan is a civil engineer and is pretty well off. I'll miss them but hey maybe i can return when they are baptized who knows. 

This week. hass been crazy, we have another set of missionaries in our ward but they are officially closing and well now my comp will have the whole ward to themselves so we have been with them lots this week and have been getting to know the investigators and everyone in their area. That's the hard thing about Mexico that the hermanas are always having to leave because of the safety and that's why we have tons of changes. Right now we have about fifty fifty sisters and elders but president has told us that he has asked that they stop sending lots of sisters and that by the end of this year we should only have about 40 sisters whereas now we have like 110.

So this week was our ward conference and they asked the four missionaries (well more like begged) to be in the ward choir. I thought we didn't have many people in our ward choir at home but here it was the four missionaries and 3 ward members hahahahahaha needless to say we performed yesterday two numbers and it was so bad and me and my comp even had a solo together!!!!! haha I'm doing things i never imagined me doing here. 

I'm going to miss this ward a lot. There are some flat out great members here. I'm going to miss going and visiting my senior citizens and all their stories and advice. I've probably made the best connections with members here then in any other area. I absolutely love the familia hernandez and they have a son in the mission right now so they just love the missionaries and tonight were going over their to have a little party shindig of something before i leave. I am also going to miss my district. They are honestly so sweet and I have a loaded district with the best hermamas. I have learned so much and really have learned to serve and to have a good attitude doing it because trust me, 8 hermanas have lots of little requests they need you to do.

So today I bought some new pants and I was changing to see if they fit and this store had two stories and I was on the second story and after I put them on I went to the first story to get my comps opinion on the pants and left all my belongings in the changing room. Then I went back and got everything and later that day checked in my wallet and saw that a little stinker had taken 500 pesos from my wallet haha which is quite a bit here but hey its all good and I hope he has fun with it. 

Well fam, that's about it. Yesterday in church I just kept feeling the spirit so strong and i was just reflecting on my nine months and all my experiences and really the mission is so great and I'm learning so much. I KNOW this church is true and I'm lovin every day and am excited to see what tomorrow brings.
