This week went well and we were able to find more people to teach which is always a great thing! It has been really hot lately which has been a challenge and ants have decided to fall out of my light in my bathroom. Literally, there are ants EVERYWHERE in hot land here. They have successfully entered into 2 of my unopened bags of cereal. Yep, they go ham. Anyway, this Saturday is the baptism of Said Andres!! We finished the lessons yesterday and everything should go well this week. We FINALLY got a ward missionary leader yesterday!!! YAY!!! I will be able to finish my mission with one! The Lopez Elles Family is doing well as well and the plan is that they will get their papers and get married this week and then get baptized on July 30th. We had interviews with President Laney on Friday and they were AWESOME!!! Sister Laney also bought us pizza because all of the Latinos moved up in their English books! President talked with me about making a few goals for these last few weeks to keep me focused. I try not to think about finishing the mission because it's just....not fun to think about, ha ha. I still have a lot of time left so I don't need to worry about it now :) I'm so grateful for President and Sister Laney. They are just so loving and awesome!! They have really become my second parents (or 4th parents if we count President and Sister Dyer & President and Sister Andelin). I'm really grateful for all of my leaders that I've had. But I'm going to stop writing as if it were my last email because I still got time left, ha ha. I love this gospel and for the opportunity to share it EVERYDAY! I know that Jesus Christ lives and loves us. I know that The Book of Mormon is true and testifies that Jesus is the Christ. And I know that families can be together forever through the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. I love you all and have a great week!
