<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Well, I can feel it coming so I’ll just apologize now. There’s only a few more weeks left so I’ll save most of my stories for when I get back so my emails are going to be a little shorter. Wow only five more weeks! I’m on the lookout today for milk that expires after I do. We had a really good week with some cool things that happened.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1525062107MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<div class="yiv1525062107MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">We found so many people this week that want to talk to us. Some families too. One of them is Maria and her aunt and son. Maria is so awesome! We’ve only seen her twice but she’s already planning to be baptized on the 24<sup>th</sup>! She didn’t show up to church so we went by to see if everything was okay. Turns out that she couldn’t get work off in the morning and was really sad about it. So we started talking and she mentioned that she’d been reading but that she fell asleep. So we decided to read together to get her going and ended up reading a couple of chapters and then teaching her most of the plan of salvation. She understands the scriptures really well and she really wants to learn. Her aunt is so cute, the first time we came by we asked her to pray at the end and she looked down and said she didn’t know how, that she could only do The Lords Prayer. So we taught her how to pray and afterwards she was crying and said she was sad that she hadn’t known how to pray. But she said she would practice and that it would be better next time. We assured her that it was fine.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1525062107MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">For Halloween we got lucky and a member could take us to the ward party. It was so fun! Too late we thought of going dressed as Elders (like just putting a tie on), but it would have been a good idea. Then we went home and rested a bit. The next day during the night we carved pumpkins and they came out pretty good, it was fun! I’ll send pictures.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1525062107MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1355113190023_500" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">So in our area lives one of the councilors to the mission president, Presidente Zayas. I love the Zayas family, they’re so great! Well One of their grandsons that lives with them, Carlos, has a friend across the street that the whole time we were teaching him to get him ready to be baptized this friend sat in for the lessons. Well we invited him to take the lessons and his mom was okay with it so we started teaching him. He came to church on Sunday and those two punked me! After the last hour Carlitos came up stone faced and I asked where his friend went. He told me, “He didn’t want to come. He didn’t want to come to church.” My heart sank and I asked where he was. He told me he went home. I told him that it was okay, that he didn’t have to come if he didn’t want to. Then he smiled and said, “Nah, he’s right there.” He was hiding behind me! They got me good.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">We had a very very full week but it was very good! Hermana Greenwood and I are getting a long great and she’s really improving in her Spanish and in her confidence. She’s been giving more of the lessons now and now that she knows these people she knows better how to work with them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">This week we went on an exchange that was a little different. Something they decided to do now is to have exchanges with English Sisters. I was so excited to go with a Sister I know pretty well since we lived in the same apartment for a while. She’s got the same amount of time as me in the mission so we’ll be going home together. It was very fun but very interesting because I could see the symptoms of Trunkyitis. She’s having a very hard time and it makes me very thankful that I’m not going through that. Of course I think about home and have been thinking about what I’m going to do when I get back, but it doesn’t distract me, and I’m not trying to deny that I’m going home like this Sister was, she didn’t even want to talk about it. So it made for a very interesting day, especially since she can’t speak Spanish.</span></div>

<div class="yiv186701288MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">We got very lucky this weekend, sorry they told us not to tell much about it until now. Elders Andersen, Maynes, and Bishop Causse toured our mission. On Saturday we had a special conference with them in the morning and it was powerful! The Hermanas get spoiled in the mission, no matter what time we show up they always have us sit right up front, and I had the best seat. I was asked to give a prayer so I got the end of the second aisle. During his speech Elder Andersen decided to come down from the podium and speak to us closer and for about 80 percent of his talk I was about a foot away from him. It was so cool. At the end of his talk he stopped and started to cry and bore testimony that he knows that Christ lives. I could feel the spirit so strongly and I know that he really is a special witness of Chirst. It was a very good conference.</span></div>

<div class="yiv186701288MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Then on Sunday we got lucky again! They were coming down to Phoenix so that they could train the priesthood and speak in our stake and we just happen to go to the stake center so we were actually there with him again while most of the people in the stake just got to watch it from the other buildings. It was really cool because he speaks Spanish pretty well and he stopped part way into his talk and said, “Now Brothers and Sisters, I’m going to give most of my talk in Spanish, so you’re going to get the chance to see how it is for your brothers and sisters all the time.” It was very cool, I’d been really sad up to that point because they’d run out of headphones for the translators and so most of the members there couldn’t understand what they were saying but sat reverently anyways listening. It was a very good experience for the English speaking members.</span></div>

<div class="yiv1192279537MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Well to update you all I had an interesting week. But it was really long because first of all I got sick. It’s happened a few times and it’s never fun, but this is the first time I’ve actually been sick enough to have to stay in bed all day. I don’t know what hit me but it wasn’t fun, I just suddenly got it and slept all day. It slows down the work so much, and it’s really boring to just stay in all day. I’m glad I haven’t gotten sick more while I’ve been out here.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1192279537MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I didn’t get the chance to tell all of you last week but I asked for an extension last Monday. I’d prayed about it and my answer was that I needed to ask. I didn’t really feel that I’d get it but I felt I should ask. I was right. On Wednesday, the day I was sick, we got a call from our president that he was on his way to talk to us. So I got a little more dressed and we went for a walk. He told me that it would be best if I went home at the appointed time and enjoyed Christmas with my family. He explained why and we had a good chat.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1192279537MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1355113190023_289" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">We had a fun experience this week. A few months ago we had the chance to teach this guy named Mark. He wasn’t Spanish speaking but we couldn’t get in touch with his Elders and his best friend was in our ward so we started teaching him because he was ready. As soon as we could get in contact with the right Elders we handed him over. He’s great! He got baptized this week and we got permission to go and see him. He gave the best testimony afterwards and came up from the water with a fist pump. Picture of him coming, the only non Mexican besides us.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1192279537MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I had a thought and wanted to tell you before I forgot. As an early Christmas present can you order the Ensign in Spanish for me? I thought it'd be a great way to keep up on my spanish. Gracias!</span></div>
<div class="yiv1192279537MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Even with just seven weeks left I don’t really feel trunky. I feel about the same as I did my whole mission, I always knew it was going to end and I didn’t count down the days, or try to pretend it wasn’t coming. I think that kept me from going crazy like some missionaries do :) I’m really excited to come back home and see you all and I’m really excited to come back here afterwards and see these people again and keep contact with them. Actually I was invited to go to Pueblo Mexico next year, that’d be cool since most of the members I know have family there.</span></div>

<div class="yiv1140984790MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Well we had somewhat of an exciting week. I have officially seen my first scorpion! I was in the gym watching the Elders play basketball and picked my bag up from the floor. Two seconds later I saw something out of the corner of my eye and looked down to see a scorpion right where my bag had been a moment before! I’ll send a picture. Of course once I told them the Elders started playing with it and letting it sting their shoes. Just to be safe I dumped out my bag. They caught it in a cup and released it outside in the field. Not sure what kind it was, want to check it out?</span></div>
<div class="yiv1140984790MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Saturday night we were just getting into bed at 10:30 when all of the sudden the group of kids that always play outside our door came running up pounding on the door and crying. We opened it to see them all sobbing and crying, “Someone’s dying!” Hermana Pousima and I ran outside fully expecting to see that someone got stabbed or something. They took us upstairs to their apartment. They live with their three grandmas and one of them was on the couch grabbing her head and crying. I called 911 and Hermana Pousima went over to find out what happened. Our wonderful neighbor took all of the kids to her apartment and got them calmed down and something to eat. We went and got a little more dressed and called the elders, then flagged down the fire truck. They got their before the Elders so they couldn’t give her a blessing, but it was okay. Turned out she has a tumor in her brain and something happened with it. The shipped her out and most of their family went with. Her two sisters stayed behind to care for the kids and we went over and gave her a hug and asked if she’d like us to come pray with her. They accepted and we spoke with them for a bit then prayed together. We haven’t heard yet how she’s doing. But it was so good to see all the people in our apartments just come together to help them out.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1140984790MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The next day in conference we were both so tired, I feel asleep during Elder Bednars talk. I’m going to see if I can watch it now that I’m a little more awake.</span></div>
<div class="yiv1140984790MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Speaking of conference I love watching it with missionaries, it’s like our superbowl. And this time was especially exciting. When they announced the age change we were all in shock. One brother jumped out of his seat the moment he finished speaking and ran into the hall to call his daughter, she’s now able to go. This is going to change so many things. Elder Holland, in the news conference on the missionary changes, on why the changes are being made: "God is hastening his work and he needs more and more willing and more worthy missionaries to spread the light and the truth and the hope and the salvation of gospel truth to a darkened world." It’s true, we can all feel the pace picking up and feel how things are moving forward. This is going to make the missionary force explode. It’ll make it possible for so many more young men and women to go. I was thinking about it and without that year wait I’ll bet so many more young men will go because nothing will keep them from it. They won’t have time to make mistakes that will keep them from it.</span></div>

It’s fun to see her progress and</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to remember back to the time when I was at that point still.

<div class="yiv71042010MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello!</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div class="yiv71042010MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sorry for not writing last week, we had lost our phone and so we didn’t have much time since we tried to go find it again. We didn’t but at least now we get an excuse to stop by peoples house to get their number. It’s a great excuse to stop by!</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div class="yiv71042010MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We’re doing great, busy as ever. Although that’s going to stop tomorrow. We got the call on Saturday that my companion Hermana Pousima and I will both be training. We’re so excited! We’re still going to be living in the same apartment and will get to work together to teach them which is nice. They flew in today and tomorrow at 11 we’ll go pick them up! It’s going to be hard though, we’re going to have to make up for all the people we could never see when we were covering the two areas, and we haven’t had time to go knock on doors so we don’t have a very large teaching pool. But it’ll be a great chance to have her dive right into missionary work. About a week ago we were talking to our president and asking him about the new sisters. He told us their names but that was it. BUT! After thinking about it I realized that one of the sisters coming in is a Sister Holmes. That would be an inspired companionship. When I we talked to the zone leaders they told us they told president that we would get at least one more baptism per month if he put us together. They said he told them that they shouldn’t have told him about the Holmes-Watson thing. Haha! We’ll see what happens tomorrow.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div class="yiv71042010MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Speaking of me training, I’m going to apologize now. I’m not going to be able to write to as much as I have until now. Something I want to do that Hermana Kigueta did for me was to write my trainees parents every week too. I’ll do my best but my letters might be a little shorter.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div class="yiv71042010MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We had a funny experience the other day. The areas we work in are fairly poor and some of the people literally live off the chickens and goats they own, which is funny to see all over since we’re right in the middle of the city. The other night we were visiting a woman and her house was a little more than a shack, with chickens and dogs running around inside and out because they have to leave the doors open to get some air, no AC. Well we were teaching her and trying to help her out because she was feeling very down and like God wasn’t listening to her. As we bore our testimonies I heard something and turned to see a mouse running along the wall next to my chair! I didn’t want to offend her so I just took my Book of Mormon and hit the wall next to it, didn’t even faze it. She looked at me and I accidently said in Spanish, “Oh, it’s a fly.” Fly and mouse are similar. So she didn’t react. Then the chiuhauha walked by and didn’t do anything. So I decided to ignore it and scoot away from the wall a little so it wouldn’t run up my leg. All of the sudden the dog goes for it and takes it down right in the middle of us! All we could do was just stare, and then tried to play it off and ignore it. So my comp goes back to telling her about how she knows Christ can help carry her burdens and it went something like this, “And I know-” CRUNCH CRUNCH, “….I know that-” CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH, “I know-” CRUNCH. Then it gave it to it’s puppy and the puppy dragged it under my chair to eat it on top of one of the kids toys. Experiences that you’d only get on the mission field.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love you all and hope you have a great week!</span></span></div>

We are still running all the time! It’ funny most of the ward thinks<br />we’re just working in the one area now since our one companion went<br />home. Nope, but it’s really nice in a way. We’re teaching so many<br />amazing people and out week is filled up by Monday.<br /><br />Wow some of the miracles that we’ve seen this week! There’s a man<br />named Elias that we’re teaching. They met him 6 months ago and saw him<br />twice before he found out he had leukemia. After that he was in the<br />hospital constantly. The one time we caught him at home he was just<br />lying on his bed and we really thought he was going to die. He’d lost<br />so much weight and could only just whisper, “I believe in God, I know<br />He’ll take care of me. I have faith He will.” After we left we thought<br />he was gone. Since he was sent back to the hospital we didn’t go by<br />for a month. Then one day we were in the area and thought, ”Let’s go<br />see his family.” We were surprised when his wife invited us in and<br />said, “He’s in the back.” I fully expected to see him in the same<br />condition. But when we went back he looked just fine! I was shocked!<br />He was sitting up and joking with us! Some Elders had gone by the<br />hospital and blessed him and in the blessing told him that the mother<br />cells they were going to give him would work and that he would heal. A<br />week later he was out of the hospital and home just fine! He’s still<br />weak and can’t go to church or stores or anywhere he could catch a<br />sickness, but he’s alive! He asked us, “So, I know I can’t go to<br />church right now, but how soon can I get baptized?” God truly works<br />miracles by our faith.<br /><br />We miss counted the weeks this month and ran out of money for food<br />last week. We won’t starve no worries :) But we just have to be a<br />little more creative with what we have. I learned how to make white<br />sauce! We’re doing a lot more baking with the flour we have.<br /><br />The ward talent show this Friday went great! It was so fun, but so<br />loud! The gym echo’s a lot. By luck we were able to find some costumes<br />and skirts so our Hula was pretty cool :) We’ll send the video when we<br />get it. After, all the hermanas asked us to teach them how. I really<br />like doing it it’s really fun!<br /><br />Love you all! Have a great week!</div>

We Got to go to the temple</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">site in north Phoenix and give the steel workers a tour through the</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">visitors center.

None of them were members. So We got them all</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">over after work and started with a prayer outside then took them</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">through teaching about ancient temples and modern ones, then we taught</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">about how families can be together forever through the ordinances of</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">the temple.

We finished by teaching them how the</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">power to do these ordinances was restored and invited them to pray and</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">find out for themselves if these things are true.

We are so busy. We leave early most days and get home late. We're trying to plan better so that we can get home early enough to plan and get ready for bed. Both areas we're working in are going well and especially sundays we're busy! One ward starts at 9 the other at 10. So we go to the first for half an hour then to the other for a few hours, then back to #1 for a meeting, then to #2 for our other meeting. They're not too far apart thankfully so it's not to bad, just a lot of running around.</div>

On friday we stopped by a birthday party for some members. This is the family that made me a cake for my birthday :) The theme was japan because the girl loves japan! She had a kimono and everything. It was really fun and it's so great having things like that happen because we get all our investigators to go. They had a blast and the mom said later, "I didn't know you could dance and listen to regular music!"</div>

There was a robbery in our apartments. Poor Elders! But it really was their fault. I've always said that it would be too easy to steal things from the second story balconies there, since it'd be easy to climb up. They always leave their bikes out there and one morning we came back from jogging and they asked us if we'd seen bike. They came back from running and saw a ladder against the apartment and their nice 700 dollar bike gone. They still haven't found it but the police went and scared this poor 8 year old to death because he was bragging to his friends that he stole it, and they Elders didn't know he was just a kid.</div>

I'm finding that I like Mexican candy more and more. It always has salt, lime juice, and chile, and at first I couldn't do it, it made me sick. But now i'm used to it. I'll bring some home for you all to try.</div>

Man it's been a mess lately! The church just updated the browsers for the system we use to email our president and it failed. Well it works but the libraries here don't update ever so we can't do it. We've all been scrambling to try and fix it and find computers that will work with it.</div>

I love seeing how people change. There's one Hermana that when I first met her she was so angry all the time and was just grumpy. We didn't do much, we just invite her to come back to church. It changed her completely. She's a different persona nd so happy, now I love being with her. Today she's going to come out with us for the first time. :) She's getting ready to go the the temple to do baptisms for the first time.</div>

I really love this work, I know i'm going to miss it when I come back home, I hope we have some missionaries in our ward when we come back so I can go out with them. What a missionary needs more than anything from the members is for us to just be their friends, and help them to feel comfortable. There's a really good talk you all should listen to, it's called The Missionary Next Door. I agree with everything she says. Just invite people, that's all you have to do. Then let the missionaries be the weird ones to ask them if they'd like to learn more. Because the missionaries don't care if they hate them, because we're getting transferred and we'll likely never see them again.</div>
