Hey Mom,
Thanks for the big email. Sounds like the farewell went awesome, I have been thinking about what to write to Keaton but I will just wing it and see what happens. Exciting that everything is finally getting started for those three. Keaton is going to be an excellent missionary... I always remember that one of the speakers when we were in the MTC gave a talk about sometimes we can learn from others mistakes and sometimes we have to make our own and learn from them, both ways work. But we should try really hard to learn from others. I think every one of us have our own mistakes that we have to make in order to learn.
We had a good week, I guess. I am not sure honestly, the zone leaders are in our ward and we had a chat with them on Sunday about the ward here. There are some really great people but we have all decided that this next transfer we need to focus more on strengthening the ward. The missionary work works when a ward is strong. We started another game this week that some how came to my mind, hopefully it goes well. We made cute envelopes with an openign and little papers in front and every day they have to write an act of service or love that they saw or felt in their family and at the end of the month they are going to open it together. Hopefully it motivates them to show more love, starting in their homes. Have you been able to do the calendar game this month? If not start it now! It is fantastic and really helps a lot.
I have felt a little bit of frustration in my time here in Comitan, but I know it is where I need to be. There have been some really hard things that have happened but I have learned a lot. Every companion and area has a purpose. I am sure. We had a fun experience on Thrusday. We went to see Hermana Ermalinda, she is 80 something and was alone in her house this week because her daughter and her family went to Mexico. She was waiting for us in the window lol. She is soooooo sweet, even though sometimes she gets mad and says bad words to her daughter lol. But I love her. We got there and asked if we had brought any Dvds lol, we hadnt so we ran to the house, they live really close to us, and brought back a movie to watch with her. She said to us, take your shoes off and put your feet up! And taht I did! Holy smokes was that awesome, it has been more than a year since I have out my feet up on a couch lol. Little blessings! After she wanted to read the BOM but she doesnt really know how to read, but she can sound out the words like when we are learning how to read. It was absolutely adorable and super fun. She talked and talked and talked and talked, I could tell she just needed someone to listen to her because no one was home. She is great, we are eating with their family on Tuesdays this month and the Hermana cooks like a chef. And everything is suuuuuper healthy, which is a nice change from the grease soaked food we usually eat lol, dont get me wrong, its delicious! But healthy once a week is probably good haha.
I think that is about it for this week. This next week there is a talent show in the ward and we have an activity with pres. george. he is going to take us to the waterfall.... that I already saw, but oh well. It will be nice to see again. Maybe I will see more huge iguanas this time! Some members were telling me about a place we have to go when dad comes to get me where there are parrots alllllll over and monkeys and awesome things like that. I am trying to not make plans in my mind already, but holy smokes. 3 months is absolutely going to fly by. I love you tons!
Love you!
Love, Hermana Baer
