Cockroaches City!!!! 11-12-09

Hey hey everyone, well I must say, I am one very blessed girl, this area only has a
few major problems, there isn't enough time to teach everyone that wants to be baptized, and there are too many members that want to come with us on lessons!! HAHA ok well it isn't all roses and stuff, but really compared to my other areas, wow the work is crazy! I feel like I'm in a completely different mission! We found a family that said they wanted to be baptized (a family of 5), but well when we went to pick them up for church they weren't ready and didn't come with us, it was a little sad and we were upset because we didn't have time to go pick anyone else up, but when we got to church and started counting how many investigators came on their own... we had EIGHT!!! But then our ward mission leader came and told us a man had come to church for the first time, he had been investigating the church online for a while and found the meeting house, and he is very interested in learning more!! He even came in a suit and everything! We taught him a quick lesson right after, and he seems really interested! Also we have a baptism this weekend, his name is Oscar, I'm worried he might not make it, I just don't feel like he understands what he is doing, but I'm praying he will make it to his goal! There are so many different miracles I just don't even know where to begin! One of them is we went to see an old investigator, she had wanted to get baptized but wasn't married, well I week
before I got here she called the hermanas and left a message saying she was getting
married and wanted to start coming to church and get baptized, we went to see her my
first day here and she came out to see us and was in a huge hurry, she said hey I don't have time to talk right now I'm getting everything ready for my wedding, we asked her when it was and she said tomorrow! WOW!! Then she said hey I get home from my honeymoon on the 12th, come see me after that, and we asked her if she would be willing to get baptized this month and she said yes yes as soon as possible!! She seemed so happy!! I just couldn't believe it! Wow there is so much to do, I just hope and pray I don't ruin anything here!!
My companion is amazing, I was a little nervous being with a latin again, but wow she is so fun! We have a lot of fun together, and I'm grateful to be with her, because my spanish was starting to get a little bad!! I feel like I will probably only be with her for one transfer, but I'm praying we stay together longer!!
Oh and there is one real problem here, our apartment is smaller than a postage stamp and has the whole world of cockroaches living in it... seriously they are everywhere, we have to wash our dishes before and after we use them because cockroaches are seriously taking over our lives! I will probably be bringing several of them home, because I see them crawling on my suitcases, it really grosses me out to the extreme! But I just try to pretend they don't exist!!Well I think that is all I needed to write about, oh also, if anyone out there would like to write to my comp, that would be great, she told me her family doesn't write her letters, so she runs to the bathroom to hide when they hand out letters, we have zone conference in like 2 or 3 weeks, so if you send them this week they should get here for this zone conf, try to write them in spanish, but if you cant, well I can help her translate them! Welp that's all I got,I love you all and you are in my prayers!!

Love,
