Elder Hernandez.  He was our District leader.  

Such a great and humble guy.

Hermana Palafox.  No, I am not crying!

I miss her already and she hasn't even left yet...

Just another beautiful California sunset.

Yes, be jealous! They're beautiful!!

Hermana Walker.  I love her.

My birthday trip to the Los Angeles temple.

Beautiful day.  Beautiful temple.  Beautiful friend.

ola Familia,

Estoy bien. I got the rest of my boxes thanks so much mom. I really appreciate it. I did get the gift cards and the hot chocolate. 

I can't wait to see the pictures from Thanksgiving. Send me a lot and I will send you some too.

Thanks for all the updates and news on everyone. Crazy how time goes by so fast on all those things.  I'm so happy for  Sister Maybin. I bet she was a beautiful bride!

How are you? This week was really good. We taught a lot and found some new investigators.  We also helped some of our less actives. We had a wonderful conference last week.  We learned a lot from it.  We learned that how we  begin teaching is really important. 

We had exchanges this week as well with Hermana Bartschi and Hermana Wright. They are so amazing. I went with Hermana Wright.  We found some new investigators who are really searching for the truth. One of the investigators is Myra, she hasn't been going to her current church because she has a four year old little boy who makes a lot of noise and things like that. She wants to know the truth and figure out for herself what Heavenly Father wants for her. We knocked on a lot of doors.  We even found some new places to knock. It was a really good day.   I loved learning from Hermana Wright. In our exchange review, I learned a lot. I learned that we can even teach to our investigators specific needs and teach for understanding. Hermana Wright, told me to just go for it!!  I love exchanges. They help me grow as a missionary help me to become the person that Heavenly Father wants me to become.

This week I have been studying in Preach My Gospel chapter 4. I really love how President Hinckley tells us how we can recognize the Spirit.  One of my favorite parts is praying with faith. The only way that we will be able to use the full power of the Spirit is if we pray with faith. I read in True to the Faith, on prayer.   One thing that stuck out to me is that the power of our prayers depends on us. We can be tired and exhausted, but we always need to pray with faith with all the energy of heart. 

I'm still reading the Book of Mormon in the book of Alma. I'm so close to the wars chapters which are my favorite because they just show how diligent, obedient, hopeful, and trustworthy the Stripling Warriors were. 

How was your class? What did you teach?   I can't wait to speak Spanish with Blake and other people in the Tuscon area. Can you imagine if I walked into a Mexican store with my blonde hair and white skin and then began to speak spanish?  That would be pretty funny!!   I will write more in my letter to you. Love you so much!

Paz ofuera = Peace out

Love ya.
