PICTURES!!!!! Wow, Johnny and Raymond have a similar look going on. Haha. Rebekah looks BEAUUUUTIFUL! Tell her and John I said felicidades! I hope dad had a great father's day! I wish I could give him a father's day hug or something. This week has been really good, actually. I was super nervous, but sister Holland is great! In fact, we have a lot in common. We have the same sense of humor, which is so much fun. We make each other laugh a lot, and she told me last night that she thinks she was supposed to come to the area to meet me. That was super cool, especially considering what I mentioned in my last email to you. And I agree. :) We just got a new investigator last night named Veronica. Sister Franco and I had street contacted her a little while ago, but yesterday was the first time we were able to get in contact with her since. She opened up a lot about her husband and how he passed away a couple years ago and how hard it has been to raise 4 kids alone. Sister Holland really related to her a lot and so I know Sister Holland was meant to be here to meet this woman. Veronica had a baptismal date years ago, but moved around alot, so she lost contact with the missionaries. So she's SUPER excited to meet with us again. And her kids are, too! She beamed when we told her that we want to teach the whole family and include all of them. One of her daughters, who's like 9 or 10, has a lot of questions about where her dad is and if they'll ever see him again, and so we are going to teach the plan of salvation first.
We have an investigator with a baptismal date on July 27th. His name is Victor, I think I've mentioned him before. We really have to light a fire under his butt, though, because he hasn't come to church yet. He said he would this past Sunday, but he had to watch his sister's kids instead, so we're going to have to be real bold with him.
Everything else is good. I haven't been quite so hard on myself lately. I can't afford to. I made a goal at the beginning of this transfer that I was going to love my companion more than myself and love the people more than myself, and since then I haven't had nearly as many negative thoughts. I try my best and have been starting to find peace with where I'm at and believe people when they tell me that my Spanish is fantastic for only being out for 3 months. And every time I can make my companion smile and help lift up HER spirits, I feel happy and everything's easier. :)
I love you all so much!!!!! What did you think of the pictures???
PS
Oh, by the way, there's going to be a huge broadcast this Sunday (23rd) centered on missionary work. President Neider said it's going to be HUGE and that we will be able to tell generations after us that we were there to witness it. Sooo....wow, I'm pumped!
