Oh so I have some bad news, I discovered this last week I have lost my sense of humor!! Sorta, I mean I knew I would change on the mission, but I was hoping I would still be funny, but whenever I do or say funny things my comp just acts like I don't exist, so maybe I might be funny, but I dont know, I feel like Im drowning, and she doesn't say or do anything funny so I don't hear anything funny, and when I see funny things that happen and I try to tell her or share it with her she just goes huh-uh, so if anyone out there has funny stories let me know because I don't know what is funny anymore!! Oh one more complaint about my comp and then I'm done for this letter remember how she wont set baptism dates for this Sunday because who cares... well she was telling a member the other day that in her last area she was afraid of being transferred before the baptism and so they set it for Sunday before she left, and she was transferred that week, so its OK if she thinks she is being transferred, but not if I'm being transferred... whatever we will find out this Monday, pray hard I don't get transferred!!!

Lets see, one of the million new investigators we have are a family de oro!!! Of gold, They are married have 3 kids ages 10, 9, 1 they are all awesome, they came to a dance activity thing we had last Friday and when they got there no one was there except us, they helped us set everything up and decorate everything and the members told us they stayed until the very end of the activity and had a lot of fun!! They didn't make it to church on Sunday because they don't like to be late to things, they were all dressed and ready to go 10 min before 9 and tried to call a taxi but then they decided they would still be late so didn't come, they would have only been like 5 min late, but they promised to be there this next week!! The parents have a baptism date, and hopefully the kids will too soon!! Also in the folletos (pamphlets) we hand out at the end they have questions and additional study tips and he showed us his and he had taken notes and really studied everything!! They are awesome!!

We will be having a baptism sometime this week, it is supposed to be Saturday, but the girls' dad might be working that day so who knows when it will be, it could be tomorrow or Friday or Sat!! But sometime this week for sure, it is 3 girls, 2 sisters (twins) and their cousin! The 10 year old sister didn't want to be baptized after all, every time we go over there to teach them she goes and hides and won't come out!! The parents are already members, so we are almost completing the family!! I'm pretty excited!! So one of my recent converts, Silvia, well apparently nobody was able to really convince her how important law of chastity is, she never started keeping the law and now everyone thinks she is pregnant, baby number 5!!! I'm really disheartened by it, and that whole situation, I started crying at her house the other day because of all the bad things I saw there, not things she does, things the kids do and her mom does, the only thing Silvia does is ignore everything! I have a hard time being at that house, my heart can't handle those bad things to perfect little children! Mom how did you handle being a social worker??? I don't want to go into details, just take it that it is bad!

It seems that all of our recent converts are going through trials, Silvia might be
pregnant, Jose is doing fine but he left for Misiones in northern Argentina and doesn't know when he will be back! Maxi hasn't come to church since his confirmation because of all the trials he and his family are going through, pray for him! And now Antuane is getter ready to lose her house that she rents because of a q tip!!!! The people they rent from live above them and one of the kids dropped a q tip threw the cracks and Antuane's mom went and complained and told the people they need to watch the kids better, so the guy said fine you have till Feb 28th to find a new place to live!! Antuane says she has half a mind to buy a bus ticket for her mom to go back to Peru!! So now they are frantically looking for a place to live!! She found a place but the guy says he doesn't rent to people from Peru! Long story but we are all going o meet him tonight, she wants us with him for the support!! Pray that everything goes well!!

Welp I gotta run, I was going to add pics but I have no time today, but next week I will be sending home a cd of pics!! So anyways I hope everyone is well, love you all and keep me updated!!

Remember next week is transfers so p-day will be on Tuesday, spread the word
around... I will be writing and receiving emails on TUESDAY NOT WEDNESDAY!!!! I would write it in Spanish too if that would help but I figure that would make it too confusing!!

Love ya,
