Mi distrito! No soy la única extranjera! Woo!

Every morning out the back window. Vivo en un paraíso!

It was a ridiculously fast and hard week. Honestly I just feel like we have done nothing and I dont understand why. WE are planning a ward talent show type thing for the end of the transfers, so I figured I could do some little gymnastics things. OH MY GOSH MOM I CANNOT DO THE SPLITS! I havent done them In a good 5 or 6 months I bet and yeah... gone. Lots of pain, GRRR! And I did a backwalk over today and about died my back and stomache muscles were so mad at me. Sooooo basically I have to start practicing if I want to do something haha. We will see if I am even capable of a BHS still lol.

We have had little to no success with people going to church for 2 weeks and it is kind of discouraging but we keep working. There is someone here in Comitan waiting for hermana Baer and Hermana Lopez. Hopefully we can work hard enough to find them.

On Saturday night they called us and said, you get to speak in church tomorrow! Woohooo! The good thing is the gave us 24 hours lol. Sometiems they just say, go talk! But anyways, I talked about becoming a disciple of christ and 3 things that can help us to become more like him. The first is letting go of the sins, habits, and customs that hold us back. The second, share the gospel! With EVERYONE. I shared about how sometimes in the street contacting or with the members when they are thinking about family friend and neighbors we sometimes thing, this person is going to reject the message. There is no way they will listen. But I told them in my talk that in these situations I tell myself that God loves this person exactly the same amount as he loves me and he has given me a gift and so many talents for the soul purpose of sharing with others. The third point was LOVE! because Without charity we are nothing! I love that scripture, its in Corinthians 13. Anyways, it was good and I think more than anyone the talk helped me. Every day I feel like I need to be better and there is more I can do, and that is always true. So we keep working and trying to be better every single day!

Con amor, Hermana Baer
