I´m sorry about my email last week...I was kind of distracted. But I don't feel discouraged...the opposite really...I feel like I´m ready to make some new steps. I´m starting to see progress. We´re improving (my companion and I). I´m learning things that God has been telling me for sooo long and I am only just now starting to really get it. 

After I finished with the internet, I went to the counter to print out some emails like I always do. The internet lady put my usb into her computer and...her computer kind of freaked out. But with a little bit of time everything was okay and she was able to print what I needed...butttt...it turns out that my usb has a bunch of viruses on it. This is the usb that has a lot of photos...scratch that...almost ALL of my photos from my mission. So an Elder had the same thing happen to him and he was able to save almost all of his photos through a member that helped him out. So I gave him my usb to save. I´m pretty sure he´s a trustworthy person. Maybe you can pray that my pictures will be saved. 

How'd your interview go with the president? 

Wow it was so great. It was short and sweet and to the point. He asked me some short questions, gave me lots of advice, and told me, "Thank you for being faithful." This is a really disobedient mission and he was saying thank you for being one of those people that try to do the best they can. The advice that he gave was aimed at helping me learn how to improve and have patience with myself. He congratulated me on being able to recognize my weaknesses.  

How are your health and stress levels? 

Health...I've had a bit of a cold this week but it hasn't been too bad. My feet are a bit torn up...the only shoes that didn't hurt my feet broke last week. I started trying to use the expensive shoes that we bought but they hurttttt sooo badddd. I started using moleskin...but things weren't improving and I had already broken in these shoes! So I bought some new crocs last week that are a lot better for my feet. As far as stress goes I´m realllllly anxious about cambios that are coming up aka it's nearing the end of this change and it's looking like my companion is going to leave. I´m super nervous about that because 1. she's one of the best companions I've ever had 2. the whole ward is going to fall apart with out her...well not really that dramatic but everyone loves her and has so much confidence in her and 3. I´m still lost in my area. But I have confidence in the Lord and I know things will work out in the end. 

This week...we´ve been working more with members which has been a huge blessing. Tonight we have two family home evenings at the same time...sooooo...we´re going to divide our companionerismo and work with two sisters in the ward....woohoooo two places at the same time!! It will be interesting. I´m super excited because they´re both with investigators. 

The work is moving forward! 

We have a progressing investigator! His name is Fabian and he´s 78 years old (but he definitely doesn´t look like it) and he really wants to know that the church is true. We gave him a Book of Mormon on Sunday because last lesson he asked us about it. We invited him to read 2 Nephi 28. 

I´m excited about lots of other positive investigators. 

We´ll see what happens! 

Lots of love,
