Lexie - February 2, 2015

It was a good week! A little bit slow, well mostly yesterday. We had good days and days that we walked for HOURS without lessons. I am sunburned for the first time since I arrived in mexico I think! Anyways, we are working on telling lots of people that we wont be coming back to visit them. It is about the hardest thing, but we had to find new people and those that want to progress. Sometimes I wish I could just shake the people and say "This will make you happy! This is the MOST important thing! Just read the stinking book!" But of course I cant do that because we all have this thing called agency that really sucks sometimes! But it is part of Gods plan, and I am pretty sure He knows that he is doing!


My companion is WONDERFUL! We are having so much fun and oh my gosh she speaks english so well! We set apart an hour every day in the street while we are walking to talk in English to help her practice. She udnerstands pretty much everything I say! You would laugh your head off listening to me talk. I struggle so much with my own language it is hilarious. We had our stake conference this week and President george and his wife came down and spoke. Hermana George is getting so much better at her spanish even though it is a struggle. She is so strong for doing this and for working through all the hard stuff. At the begining of their time here she told me she wasnt exactly sure why she was here becuase she couldnt talk, but I think every day gets better. An area 70 also spoke and he is from Argentina. It was awesome and the best part is that he taught SIMPLY! I think that is one of the keys to being a good teacher. Teaching in the simplest form possible. Anyways, it was really good. They talked a lot about our responsibilities in the ward and that we are the people that should be looking for the last sheep. Not the missionaries. Anyways, I was thinking. You should talk with the missionaries in the ward and ask them if they would like to have a Family home evening with an investigador in our house. It is something we like to do a lot and it would be fun for you and jacob, oh and your new HUSBAND! That is super weird to say lol.


Anyways, all we went well! Oh and this was kind of funny. One of our investigadors loves me and he started sending us texts that said, buenas noches princesita..Well that is so not apropriate! So I sent him a strongly worded note back to expalin that wasnt ok and he udnerstood. So I think we are all good not! Too funny. Love you tons! I am so glad everything went well. Keep me updated on everything that is going on! I love you!


Love, Hermana Baer
