FAMILY!!!! (Week 37)

HOLA FAMILIA!!!!

How are you all doing?!?! YAY!! I received TWO packages this week that I was not expecting at all. Thank you so much! I received one when we were at changes and then two days later I got the next one! And I am already using everything :) In fact I gave a talk this past sunday and I wore my new outfit :) THANK YOU!!

 I am here in MELO!! and it is awesome! My companion is hilarious and we live with two other hermanas, Hermana Smouse and Hermana Eddington.  Our district and zone are awesome!! We just finished a zone activity and we played capture the flag and kickball.  Here in Melo it is a little warmer but this past week has been cooler.  Well we are doing really good, our area is the smallest in the zone and almost every person we pass my companion has already talked to them, but we are going to keep talking to them until they are ready! We are teaching a lot of little kids right now and two are almost ready for baptism, Celeste and Anthony. Celeste is 13 and she looks a lot older, her best friend is a recent convert also and she is trying to receive her answer right now, praying about the Book of Mormon.  Anthony is 12 and his brother is a recent convert and Anthony really wants to be baptized, but he still needs to come to church two more times.  Yesterday he came and told us that he loved it! So we are working with them right now and trying to find new people also to teach.  And the converts here, there are many little kids but there are also some teenagers and adults who are really awesome and strong.

My companion, Hermana Bustos, is from Santiago Chile and she has the same time in the mission as me, she is 23 and is always laughing haha, she is great!

Maria Soca, she was baptized last week! And it was really nice, everything worked out perfectly, and it was so sweet also because after the baptism I was playing the piano and I wasn't watching behind me when everyone started to sing a hymn for me and it was really sad, I was crying... but really sweet.  Anyone who gets to work in San Carlos is blessed, because the members are amazing.

That's about everything that is happening right now, I haven't been here for very long but it is awesome and they say Melo is the promise land, so we need to work hard, be obedient, and do the Lords will and we'll see what happens! Thank you for everything, I love you all so much and am so grateful for you!!

Love,
Hermana Louder
