Week 60

 Sorry for the delay.

Last week Alberto came up to us and was like, "hermanas, next week you are changing your p-day." umm....ok. haaha he doesn't even bother asking. But we they had a JAS (young single adult) activity today...because it is a holiday. And, the goal was for all of them to bring friends and hermana nelson and I shared a message. It was SO FUN!!! we went to a place called cresta de gallo. we climbed a mountain and then climbed like a huge cliff...summit...something.

  I can't think of what it would be called. It's funny because I feel like I lose more english everyday...but i don't feel like I am gaining spanish. hmmm....anyway, we had a blast rock climbing and playing with everyone. It was soooo beautiful. We were so high. I wish I could tell you how high....but I have no clue. But we could even see the ocean we were so high. Loved it!! Plus, there's nothing like running around and climbing things to relax a missionary's brain :)

do you like hna nelson and i's matching shirts? awsome. haha

I had to send this picture of me and President and Hermana Clegg. Maybe my favorite picture of all time. Ok, probably not. but definitely one of them. They are going to leave just one transfer before me....sad. So, in my last interview I told president that he should stay just one more transfer but he said he'll be too busy fly fishing. I took that as a no. ha.

We ate with Josefa again this week...and she prayed again for me by name and that when I go home there will be a "gran novio" bahaha. I enjoy that everytime. :) So we'll see how that goes. (novio=boyfriend) also, she told us that she has been going to the catholic church everyday leaving pass along cards...and that next week she is going to leave a couple copies of the book of mormon. And she laughed so hard when she told us :) I have never seen her laugh like that. It just made my whole week! haha I love that woman!

So on friday Mari and Andrea are getting baptized....we are so excited!!! :) Mari is such a witness of the fact that the gospel blesses families. everytime we go over she has a new story to tell us of how much her kids and her family has changed since she found the gospel. It makes me happy :)

Well...it seems like things have been pretty crazy for you guys! Not going to lie, I normally don't miss home (not that I don't love you!) but it is hard to know that there are such hard things happening there while I am so far away. But, I am so grateful for the strength that I know the Lord gives in sicknesses and in trials. I love you so much family!!! Little Nixon and Brent will definitely be in my prayers. You all always are....but just extra for them :)

Happy Birthday Ashlynn!

And I absolutely LOVED the news about Clayton!!! That is so great! :) congratulations! Such good news. The church is true. That's all there is to it. I love being a part of all...the fact that we have the gospel in our lives...and that we always have is INCREDIBLE! But the Lord provides a way for all of His children to have it. And they can choose. But, many times, we are the instruments through which they can find it. and by "we" I mainly refer to regular old members...and not the missionaries. Although, we sure do see a lot of miracles too :)

welp, you are the best family ever...and I love you forever. Let me know next week when you want to skype.

LOVES
