10th letter

So today we went to another city to visit people in Hermana Johnosn's first area. It was interesting. But there is a family where this Sister, is from Utah. She's super nice! And has a really interesting story. She is from Alpine and served a mission in Uruguay and met a guy from Paraguay named Mahonri Moriancomer (the brother of jared) and then she came back and had a lot of impressions she needed to marry him (I guess there was a long distance relationship somewhere ) and I dont know all of it but I know she struggled a lot with the decision but knew it was right. So they got married and they live here! And she just had a baby! She's so amazing, she struggled having a baby here and was saying she just got over the home sickness but its hard to be away from her fmaily. I dont' know she was just really cool and her baby is adorable. And she said if I need anything she's going to Utah in June :) haha But yeah..

Oh! so Pedro got baptized this week! Saturday! It had been raining all day (I LOVE the rain sooooo much. I just love rainiy weather! ) and he had a boy scout thing so we were worried he wouldn't show up to his own baptism. But he did in a T-shirt and basketball shorts!! We told him to bring and wear a tie and white shirt... 12 year olds!! haha But it was good we actually had quite a few members show up! And yeah. He looked really happy after and felt good. I have been trying to remember my own baptizem this week. Especially because we have a thing that the President gave us to do when we teach Less actives. We use steps from Alma 5 to remind them of their baptizem and changes they made and how they felt. So I asked myself the questions. And I remember a lot of what happened but not really how I felt. It's interesting to remember. 

This change went by so fast! I fell like the MTC went on forever but this has just zipped by! I'm excited and nervous to find out who my next companion will be! To see how she will do things. I've learned a lot from Hermana Johnson. She's helped me so much to step out of my comfort zone. At times I don't like it at all but she'll just smile and stare at me... until I say something or go contact someone. She's tuff but I know its good for me. It's interesting this week so many people have complimented me on my spanish. On lady inparticular, Hermana Bordon she is Pedro's grandma and a fisty, cranky, super nice and sometimes scary lady.Lets just say she is sweet unless you make her mad then watch out. And she's short ( incase you were wondering) But I read some scriptures and after she just looked at me and said Wow! the gift of tounges is really with you. And some other stuff in spanish. Then Hermana Johnson said how's mine and she was like..eeehh. haha it was funny. But just to have it come from her was really cool. 

And eso no mas... It was a good week :) I'm so excited for conference!!!! and cant wait to hear what you think! 

I love you all so much!! 
Love Hermana Sarah :)
