Hola from Punta del Este! 8 MONTH MARK (Week 35)

Dear Family,

Hello!!! How are you all doing?! Sounds like you had a wonderful 4th of July!!! And I love allllllllll the pictures! SO CUTE!!!!! What is the next thing that is coming up in your lives? Already preping for school ;)

YEAH!! Mom! I'm so glad you got the letters! I acutally sent it before your birthday and thought you had already gotten it.  Sorry it was so late!!

We don't celebrate the 4th of July here, but me and my companion dressed up and one of our members sent us a text haha....

Today we went to Punta del Este!! Finally! Because we have changes next week and we wanted to go just in case one of us gets changed and it was awesome! Hermana Elena went with us and we took lots of pictures and with the fingers in the ground ha. So that's what I've been doing today, thought the beach wasn't very warm, like it is there, but it was fun.

We had interviews with President this past Thursday and they were really good! Also while people were being interviewed we had little workshops with the assitants. They taught about the importance of the Book of Mormon and teaching to the needs of the investigators.  And President also talked about the change that is taking place with all the missionaries of how now we will be teaching lesson 5 before baptism and working more closely with our converts after their baptism and giving all of the lessons after.  He actually sent us an email that said that last week right after he had been in Utah for the presidents conference! And then right when my companion and I were leaving the assistants stopped us and wanted to talk.  Because we haven't had any baptisms here and it has been a little rough they wanted to talk, and they told us they know we are working hard and that we have the Spirit and are following it, and that our investigators also can feel it. And how we just need to keep working hard and focus in on people and it will be alright.

This past week we really worked with less actives and they are awesome! We had some really nice lessons with them and some really sweet experiences.  Oh and Saturday! We were working and I was on the phone with one of our recent converts and my companion was talking to an less active and they both said we could visit them in 30 minutes.  Well they don't live very close to each other and we weren't sure how to go visit.  So we decided to pray.  As we finished the prayer we got a call from Hermana Elena and she said she could go visit her sister (the recent convert) with us, and so we went and it was really good. She hasn't been feeling very good, but we finally got to see her!

It is cold here, but this past week wasn't that cold, there was only one really windy day that was pretty bad but other than that the weather has been nice!

I love you all so much!!! Thank you for your love and support and examples! I'm praying for you, and hope for the best.

Love,
Hermana Louder
