Lexie - June 1, 2015

Hey mom,
Feeling much better this week thank goodness. Pretty crazy that Jake is finishing up and all your children are officially OLD! What does that make you? Haha, just kidding. Seriously no one believes that you are my mom when they see your pictures. But anyways, I hope that everything is going well and that the graduation goes well too. This week was honestly the best week I have had here. I hope that doesnt mean this week will die again. Lets hope not. We had 4 people at church on sunday which is more than all of my time put together here in Comitan. Remember how I told you that we did a family game with the members in our area this month? Well we finished it up with 3 testimony meetings with the members in different houses this weekend and it was wonderful. I think everyone realized the importance of the little things and how much they really bless our lives. Doing something every day is so important. We have recieved so many blessings and they just keep on flodding in. I feel so happy. 2 of the investigadors came with members because they are all friends, a HUGE blessing. And the other two have more than enough attendances to get baptized but one isnt married and the other hasnt been able to make the decision. But we are seeing huge progress in her as well, she is the daughter of the recent converts here that got baptized in January. They are the most converted converts I have seen in my whole mission and worked super hard to complete the whole calender activity that we gave our. They are the only members that did the WHOLE thing. pretty cool.


Anyways, here in this ward the list for the food is by month and the same family feeds us once a week for amonth on the same day. So last month we ate with the Tovar family and they live about an hour away, still in our area crazy huh. We have to walk to the main street and then take a combie about 30 minutes out of town. They live really humble and are an amazing family. She told us last week that they are going to feed the missionaries every thursday for this whole year. I couldnt help but start crying. They are a family that really understand the blessings that come when we sacrifice a little bit of ourselves to the lord. We love eating with them and are so excited to get to go back every single week. She is an ex missionary and her husband is a convert and they have 3 little girls. Her husband is hilarious and always tells us funny stories while we eat and always is playing with his kids when we get there. It is super fun to see what really is important. I think that is one of the things that I have realized during my mission.


I am excited for a new week and time is flying by. I cannot believe that it is June. I love you tons and I hope you have an amazing week and are online to chat a little bit. Love you!


Love, Hermana Baer
