Happy Halloween and 6 months!


MUY BIEN!
 
 Well this week was super exhausting for some reason. Yesterday my comp
 and I were like zombies walking in the street! Also there was some
 random ring around the moon last night, not sure if anyone saw it. I
 asked a couple boys last night. They said it was all the sicknesses on
 the Earth! Not sure if that means that we are all going to get sick or
 what. I wish I could look it up, so if anyone has time.. I want to
 know :)
 
 In our companion inventory this week, my comp and I were open with our
 feelings... She confessed that she didn't want to train anyone her last
 2 transfers of her mission because the new missionaries always come
 excited to work, and she is exhausted, but she said, that if she did
 train it would be good because they she would have to work hard. Then
 she said she ended up with me, and I have the characteristics of a new
 missionary, just wanting to work, so it is just as good as training a
 new missionary, lol. Chafa. We are all good :)
 
 We found a bunch of new investigators this week which is just what we
 needed. :)
 
 So we are teaching this one lady named Carla. She isn't married, but
 lives with a less active member. She came to church today, and is
 preparing to be baptized, however the married thing is a big brick to
 her progress. She is really great though, she stayed all 3 hours, and
 asked us if we could download music on a USB of the church for her!
 She is also interested in the 10 tribes of Isreal stuff that we talked
 about in Gospel Principles yesterday! She has a great desire to learn!
 
 We are also teaching Alondra,another young girl..13. She is a friend
 of Mariel, (our baptism 2 weeks ago) Her mom is never home, and her
 parents are divorced, so she pretty much lives solo. She is
 progressing lots, and we are planning for her baptism the 19th of this
 month! YAY! She has come to church the last 2 weeks. Like since we
 started teaching her. She is really quick to learn and really
 respectful :) Awe I'm so excited for her. Just hope that one of her
 parents are willing to sign for her baptism!
 
 For my 6 months in the mission, we celebrated with tacos just across
 the street from where we live! Love these tacos! I asked my comp why
 people don't sell bean tacos since I love beans. She laughed. She said
 that everyone eats bean tacos in their house, so to buy a meat taco,
 its a treat. Merr, for this reason I always thought I belonged here. I
 love Spanish, and love the food!
 
 The next day.. Halloween. We had a couple little kids come knock on
 our door for candy. It isn't as big here as it is in Canada or the US,
 honestly close to nothing really (from what I could see) It was really
 cute though. We bought pan de muerto to celebrate.. I remember making
 un pan de muerto for my Spanish class in high school... didn't like it
 then, and didn't like it here. Lol
 
 Anyways, all is going well here in Vallarta, just need to pray hard
 for a few more people. :)
