Yeah I'm glad you got my box! I hope you enjoyed it! I had zone conference this last week and got a box from Trish and one from the Mia Maids. I loved the Christmas tree they sent me, I have it hanging above my bed. My comp thinks I'm crazy but I don't really care!! I got a letter from my friend Mandy and I was so excited about it because I have been thinking about her and I was so sad because I didn't think there would be any way to get in touch with her, and then next thing I know zone conference is here and I got a letter from her!! I was so happy!! That is so crazy about the weather, here it is still really hot, but Jan is almost over which I'm told is the hottest month, so hopefully it won't be so terribly hot soon, but then I have to worry about buying clothes, because I don't have clothes for cold weather, but I will worry about that when it comes!! Tell Dad thanks for the money. I will def be able to use it, one of our new converts, his wife sews and stuff, and she said she would fix my skirts for me, so I just have to take them over to her, that is way cheaper than buying more clothes! Oh and I don't want to jinx myself, but I have been feeling better lately, I haven't had any problems for the past few days. We buy 40 litros of water every week now, so hopefully I will stay healthy for a little while!! 2 weeks ago everyone here was taking about the war in gaza strip, we didn't really know what was going on but everyone was talking about it, the world is a scary place, it means I need to work harder because this is the only message that can save people!!

Well this past week has been pretty chill, we had a baptism on Sat, Maxi. He is married to a girl who grew up a member, and he has been attending church off and on for the past 10 years!! Well he finally got baptized. At the baptism I heard someone saying, it's truly a miracle, but everyone has their missionaries, and these Hermanas are his angels! Wow that really hit me, I don't know why, Jose calls us his angels all the time, but maybe because he is a little crazy, but it really brought home that I'm helping this family achieve eternal life! Their next goal is the temple, which means this time next year I will be going to their sealing! I cant wait! Her family was so happy they kept telling us thank you, we were like we didn't do anything, we just put a baptism date! Um what else, oh yeah this happened last week but I didn't write about it. We were coming back to the apartment to make lunch and we stopped somewhere to buy food. Well all the electricity was out, so we bought the stuff and came back to the apt, and all the electricity was out there too... which meant we had to climb up to our 10th floor apt!! But it is more like 12 or 13 flights of stairs because we enter on negative 1 and then there is a couple of other floors before it starts on one... we were all dead when it was over, and then since we had no power we couldn't turn on our fan to cool off!! but don't worry, we survived!! Last night the house next to our apt had no power, Hna Riquelme and I were really glad we weren't walking home through there because it would be really dangerous with no lights!! But we had taken a remis home because we were running late and didn't have time to walk! Thank goodness for that!!

Well I think this is all I have for this week!! I love you all, and hope you are surviving the cold, I think I'm starting to just get used to being drenched in sweat because it doesn't bother me as much anymore!!

Welp, love you all so much!!
